MONROEVILLE, Pa. – Negotiate your way around the rolling hills of Western Pennsylvania, past the Fort Pitt Tunnel heading east on Interstate 376 and through those two lanes of traffic that lie buried underneath Mount Washington.
On the other side, you’ll meet the face of downtown Pittsburgh as you glide over the Monongahela River on a drive across the Fort Pitt Bridge. Veer left and you’ll pass the Ohio and the Allegheny, the city’s other two interconnecting rivers, to get an up-close look at Heinz Field.
Veer right, though, bending with the curve of the Monongahela, and give yourself about 25-30 minutes to weave through the rush-hour traffic, where you’ll eventually find yourself at the suburban high school home of Derrick Davis Jr.
