Craig Wolcott, Peters Township
Last week: Wolcott scored 40 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in a win against Bethel Park. Wolcott made his first 12 field-goal attempts and was 13 of 17 from the free-throw line.
Check this out: A 6-foot senior, Wolcott leads the defending WPIAL Class AAAA champions in scoring, averaging 18.9 points per game.
What's the biggest shot you've ever made? I've yet to hit a game-winner, but the biggest shot I hit was this year: We were down, 53-50, against (Washington) High, and I hit a 3-pointer with 10 seconds left to take it to overtime.
What is your proudest moment as an athlete? Definitely winning the WPIAL championship last year.
Who do you look up to in your personal life? I look up to my coach, Gary Goga. We're a lot alike. He's my best friend as well as my coach. He's helped me with a lot of things.
NBA or college basketball? NBA. I just like the athleticism. I think everyone always says they don't play defense, but I think it's really the athleticism and the skill. But college hoops, you can't get much better than that.
Do you have any posters on your wall? Yeah, I do. Al Pacino from Scarface, Hines Ward, Bob Marley and I have like 25 Pittsburgh Pirates hats all hanging on my wall. I spent way too much money on those. My parents hate it.
Who ya got in the Super Bowl? I gotta go with the Colts. Peyton Manning is too funny on those Saturday Night Lives and what not.

Leslie Stapleton, Indiana
Last week: Stapleton was once again the driving force in keeping Indiana undefeated in Class AAA Section 3.
Check this out: A 5-foot-11 junior guard, Stapleton averages a team-high 16 points for a Little Indians squad that has won 26 consecutive section games. Her cousin, Kevin Stapleton, is the leading scorer on the Indiana boys' team.
Your team advanced to the WPIAL semifinals and PIAA quarterfinals a season ago. Are you guys better this season? Yeah, I'd like to think so. Every person as an individual improved and together we've improved as a team.
When was the last time you played your cousin, Kevin, one-on-one? Probably a long time ago.
How often do you see him play? A lot. I always go to the boys' games and watch him.
Do girls' players talk trash? Usually our opponents don't talk. But if they do, I don't even pay attention.
One thing about Indiana most people don't know? Well, some people from Pittsburgh think it's out in the boonies, and it's actually not. It's a nice, small town, and I love living there.
Do you have a favorite fast food restaurant? No. I usually try to stay clear of fast food. But I like Sheetz, if you consider that fast food.
Who will win the Super Bowl? I'm going with the Colts.
