Does anyone believe our coaching staff is checking in with these kids, for sure Thiero, or going to any of their games?   I dont.

The WPIAL regular season has less than a week remaining, and Markus Frank is averaging 27.1 points after Tuesday’s win against Beaver. Adou Thiero is averaging 24.3. It is very likely the two will end up becoming only the fourth WPIAL duo since the 1979-80 season to both average 23 points or more during the regular season.

Thiero noticed an upgrade in Frank’s game last year. Before his junior season, Frank trained some with Thiero’s father, Al, who is 6-9 and played at Memphis and Duquesne. Thiero’s mom, Mariam, is 6-3 and was selected in the 2006 WNBA draft.“We started working out together before our junior year and I think that’s when things really started to click with him,” Thiero said. “He started to make some noise his junior year.”Thiero has a few Division I college offers and a few more major colleges have shown interest lately. Early in the season, Mastroianni was frustrated at the lack of recruiting interest in Frank. Mastroianni believed Frank was an excellent Division II prospect, but more Division II schools are starting to show interest in Frank lately.

Quick note from another article in the PG:
Lincoln Park’s backcourt continues to be led by 6-foot-5 senior L.A. Pratt and 6-2 sophomore Brandin Cummings. Pratt, a Duquesne recruit, is averaging 17.4 points a game and Cummings a team-high 21.7 for the Leopards, who are 12-5 overall and 9-3 in Class 4A Section 2.
