Let's play the "what-if game."

How good would the Jeannette High School team be if it had Greensburg Salem junior point guard Chris Klimchock, who is averaging 16 points per game, on its roster?

Not that the Jayhawks, who won the WPIAL Class AA title Saturday afternoon at Duquesne University's Palumbo Center, need any help. But it's frightening to think how good they would be with Klimchock.

And, it almost happened.

Klimchock's father, Rick, was Jeannette's head coach until a couple years ago and is a guidance counselor at the high school. While Jeannette does not have a policy, as do some schools, where employees' children can attend classes in the district regardless of where they live, there was a time when the Klimchocks considered moving to Jeannette.

"When Chris was in grade school he played on the Jeannette traveling team with Terrelle [Pryor] and all those guys," Rick Klimchock said. "When he was in fourth, fifth and sixth grade, he was the point guard with all those guys and I don't think they lost a game."

Chris Klimchock went to grade school at Aquinas Academy in Greensburg and also played basketball with a number of players who are now on the Greensburg Central Catholic team.

"We thought about Chris going to Greensburg Central, but we live right behind the track at Greensburg Salem. Chris walks to school and he just felt comfortable going there," Rick Klimchock said. "It has worked out well for him. He's started since he was a freshman and the team's record is 65-12 in his career."

Where would Klimchock have played on the Jeannette team. Well, he's a true point guard and would have handled the basketball. More importantly, he would have made the Jayhawks that much deeper ... as if they need an extra body.

Jeannette's Pryor set a championship game mark that was overshadowed by his impressive statistical line of 39 points, 24 rebounds, 10 blocks and 6 assists. He had 17 field goals, which is a Class AA title game record. New Brighton's Hal Bentley (1980) and Wilmington's Mike Duffy (1987) had held the previous mark of 14.

Pryor's 17 field goals were one short of the record for most in a WPIAL final regardless of classification. German Township's Ralph Still had 18 in the Class A title game in 1974.

While there are no records on rebounds in a championship game, it's a good bet that Pryor's 24 are the most ... in any classification.

Pryor scored 98 points in four WPIAL tournament games, but that doesn't come close to the tournament record of 147 by Drew Schifino of Penn Hills in 2000. Monty Latimer of Sto-Rox has the most points for a Class AA player in a tournament with 127 in 1995. Bentley scored 119 in 1980.

The WPIAL doesn't designate MVPs in championship games or select all-tournament teams, which is a shame. We've advocated for years the WPIAL should select an all-tournament team from players in the championship games.

Just because the WPIAL won't do it doesn't mean we have to go along. So, here are our five-person, all-tournament teams. Remember, to be considered for an all-tourney team a players had to be in one of the championship games held this past weekend at the Palumbo Center.

Here is the boys' squad:

• Terrelle Pryor, 6-foot-6 senior, Jeannette. We've already discussed his monster game against Beaver Falls. He also gets our MVP award. Who else would you give it to?

• Antoine Childs, 6-5, senior, Blackhawk. He had 22 points, 20 in the first half, and eight rebounds in the Cougars' 68-55 victory against Hopewell in the Class AAA final.

• T.J. Heatherington, 5-9, junior, Serra Catholic. A quick playmaker -- he is also the quarterback on the football team -- he scored 28 points and connected on 10 of 14 field-goal attempts in 76-61 win against Wilkinsburg in the Class A final. He also made both of his 3-point attempts.

• Todd Thomas, 6-3, junior, Beaver Falls. Thomas was the second-best player on the floor after Pryor in the Class AA final. He finished with 25 points, 6 rebounds and a couple of blocks.

• Jordan Hall, 5-9, junior, Jeannette. Hall scored 19 points and made 3 of 4 3-point attempts, including two big ones in the Jayhawks' fourth-quarter outburst against Beaver Falls.

Before the complaints start, no one from Class AAAA champion Central Catholic made our all-tournament team because the Vikings use so many players that statistics, and outstanding plays, were widely distributed. Yes, Matt McKenna made the dramatic game-winning 3-pointer and was 4 of 8 from outside the arc, but it's hard to separate him from Evan Tsudis, Brandon Sams or Lucas Mickens.

Now for the girls' team:

• Alex Gensler, 5-11, senior, Upper St. Clair. A Duquesne recruit, she was tremendous in the Panthers' Class AAAA victory against Peters Township. Gensler scored 24 points on 10 of 15 shooting from the field. Peters Township didn't have an answer for her either on the perimeter or when she went to the basket.

She's also our MVP.

• Renee Brown, 5-10, senior, Mount Alvernia. A forward, she had a career- high 34 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in the Lions' double overtime victory against Monessen. Her two tying free throws with 6.5 seconds left in regulation were huge.

• Nicole Doria, 5-6, junior, South Park. Talk about a second-half. Doria scored all of her game-high 19 points in the final two quarters to lead the Eagles to a 10-point victory against Our Lady of the Sacred Heart.

• Laurel Hansen, 6-2, junior, Hampton. OK, so it isn't every day a girl with just eight points make an all-tournament team -- even ours -- but Hansen was a force on the boards (15 rebounds) and on defense that her selection was a no-brainer.

• Christina Chukwuedo, 5-7, senior, Monessen. In the loss to Mount Alvernia, she scored 22 points and might have been a little too unselfish at times.

Whenever their playoff run ends, Norwin's Tyler Urban and Mike Shanahan will go from basketball to football and from teammates to rivals. Urban committed to play football for West Virginia, while Shanahan is headed to Pitt. The senior leaders on the Knights have been friends since the third grade and have always carpooled to football and basketball practices.

"Until this whole basketball thing is over, which I hope isn't for a long time, we'll be teammates," Urban said.

"We get on each other cases especially during the Pitt/West Virginia basketball game. I watched it and I was just about to text him saying we were going to pull off the upset until Pitt nailed that 3.

"Right after that I got a couple from him."

Pitt won the game 55-54 on a 3-point shot at the buzzer.
