Who will win the 2020 WPIAL Passing title?
The race for the WPIAL passing title has seen some historic seasons in recent years. In 2018, Sto-Rox junior Eric Wilson became the first player in WPIAL history to throw for over 3000 yards in the regular season. Wilson threw for 3003 yards and 38 TDs and was expected to defend his title in 2019 but was edged by South Fayette’s Naman Alemada by just 6 yards. Alemada finished the 2019 regular season with 2591 yards and 29 TDs, edging Wilson’s 2585 yards and 25 TDs. With a shortened regular season this year, it is unlikely the passing champion will put up the big numbers we have seen the last few years. Last season, through six games Wilson and Alemada were both around 2000 yards.
