WPIAL CLASS A CHAMPIONSHIP

10:30 A.M. TODAY, HEINZ FIELD

Clairton (12-0) vs. Monaca (11-1)

KEYS TO VICTORY

TO WIN, CLAIRTON MUST:

1. Stop the giveaways. Clairton had five turnovers in the semifinals against Rochester. A repeat of that could be disastrous.

2. Don't be overconfident. Most of Clairton's wins have come easily. What will happen if the game is close?

TO WIN, MONACA MUST:

1. Stop the big one. Weatherspoon and his teammates thrive on big plays.

2. Control the ball. Some long, time-consuming drives will keep's Clairton's big-strike offense off the field.
