Class AAAA: Five players to watch

JOSH VICK -- KISKI AREA QB

A quarterback named Vick is trying to answer questions about himself. But this Vick isn't worried about guilt or innocence. Josh Vick is trying to prove he is fully recovered from a knee injury. Vick (6 feet 3, 205 pounds) led the WPIAL in passing yardage the first half of last season. But a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in the fifth game led to season-ending surgery. In five games, he completed 52 of 101 passes for 1,147 yards. He is back for his senior season, hoping to prove to colleges the battle over wounded knee is over. "Some of them have said they want to see senior game film on me," Vick said. "But I'm healed up. The only time I think about it is when I'm putting a brace on it. I'm 100 percent." That's a good thing for Kiski Area, a team trying to compete with the big boys of the Big East Conference. The Cavaliers were 4-6 last season and did not score a point in their final three games against Woodland Hills, Gateway and Central Catholic. "I want to pick up where I left off last year because we were having a great year on offense," Vick said. Akron has offered a scholarship. Pitt has shown interest. Toledo, Northwestern and Ohio also are watching. Vick already might have scholarship offers without the injury. "It will drive you crazy if you think too much about what might have happened if I didn't get hurt," Vick said. "You can't deal with what could've been. You have to deal with the hand you're dealt." -- By Mike White

PG NORTH: Colin Dunlap's High School Football Notebook

On top of that, the Golden Tornado will have to face Kiski Area senior quarterback Josh Vick, who is quite possibly the best player in the WPIAL you don't know a whole lot about -- simply because he missed a large chunk of his junior season.

Vick passed for 1,147 yards through the first four weeks of last season, which at that juncture was tops in the WPIAL. But a left knee injury knocked him out for the rest of the year.
