It won't have an impact on the WPIAL playoffs that begin next month, but there is a very intriguing game involving two PG South area boys' teams Sunday at the Palumbo Center when Chartiers Valley and Upper St. Clair get together at 3 p.m. to kickoff an attractive high school tripleheader, the Pittsburgh High School Basketball Classic.

Both teams -- Upper St. Clair (17-3) in Class AAAA and Chartiers Valley (18-1) in Class AAA -- look to have the makings of squads that can make deep postseason runs.

In addition, a subplot to the game could be which cousin gets the better of which on the perimeter, as Upper St. Clair junior guard Peter Serio will square off against Chartiers Valley sophomore T.J. McConnell.

The two were formerly AAU teammates and it should be interesting to see what happens when one has the basketball and the other takes a defensive stance in front of him.

But that game is just the first of what should shape up to be a tremendous day of basketball as, at 5 p.m., Notre Dame Prep of Massachusetts and American Christian Academy, located near Philadelphia, will clash. American Christian features Tyreke Evans, a 6-foot-6 guard considered by several recruiting services to be one of the top 10 players in the country.

The nightcap is slated to tip at 7 p.m., with WPIAL Class AA powers Aliquippa and Jeannette taking the floor.

All three games will be televised live by the Pennsylvania Cable Network.

The Serra Catholic boys' team played a Section 3-A game this past Friday and didn't have another section game scheduled until tomorrow, when they it travels to Our Lady of the Sacred Heart in Coraopolis.

Well, it seems the other teams in the section probably aren't bellyaching too much about Serra's one-week layoff from section play. That's because when coach Bob Rozanski's Eagles have squared off against section opponents, the opposition has been left flabbergasted.

Serra, the Post-Gazette's No. 1-ranked WPIAL Class A team is 16-1 overall and 9-0 in section play and, in those nine section victories, the Eagles have been outscoring opponents by an average of 30 points.

In the section, Serra scores 78.6 points per night, while opponents have mustered just 48.6 points per game.

Something jumped out from the box scores from this past Friday's boys' games as Section 3-AA provided a study in tremendous balance.

In particular, there were two games in that section -- Brentwood's 56-53 victory against Bishop Canevin and an 82-65 decision for Seton-LaSalle against Sto-Rox.

In those two games combined, there were an almost-unfathomable 15 players who reached double-digits.

Brentwood had Dave Sexauer, Justin Morgano, Justin Bodell and Eric Coxon score at least 10 points while Bishop Canevin's Steve Mackin, John Koziel and Zack Young all reached double-figures.

In the Seton-LaSalle matchup against Sto-Rox, the Rebels had Dave DelGreco, Matt Marasco, Derek Law and Brian Mallie score 10 or more and the Vikings placed Derrick Miles, LaMar Washington, Josh Buckley and Paul Jones in double-figures.

Conversely -- and for a point of reference -- in all of Section 4-AAAA play that night, there were just 16 players in four games who scored 10 or more points.

Well, we have found the subject of last week's search committee, former Serra boys' basketball standout Rich Bodnar.

He sent me the following e-mail:

"Things are going very well in my life. I am currently living in Dobbs Ferry, N.Y., with my wife, Danielle, who was my high school sweetheart (a graduate of Elizabeth Forward and the University of Pittsburgh). We've been married for almost 9 years and can't report any children ... yet.

"I work for Bayer HealthCare as director, process & information. ... I've worked for Bayer for 5 years now.

"After graduating from Carnegie Mellon, I worked for Intel in California for a little over a year. Realizing that I was definitely an 'East Coast kid,' I moved back to Pittsburgh and took a job with Deloitte Consulting, which had me travelling full time for a few years. An opportunity came up and my wife and I relocated to Duesseldorf, Germany, and lived there for 3 years. ... We moved back to Pittsburgh in 2004 and lived in Carnegie and Moon Township before relocating to New York in December of 2006."

So there you have it, Bodnar is alive, well and accounted for.

Now to this week's subject -- here is an all-points bulletin for former West Mifflin North star Doug Kecman.

A standout in the late 1970s and early '80s, Kecman was a player who regularly appeared on the WPIAL's list of leading scorers.

So, where is he now? Oh yeah ... and we're still looking for 1969 Bishop Boyle graduate Ruben Montanez.

If you know where either is, please send me your e-mail response with your name and hometown to the address listed below by Monday morning.
