WPIAL PLAYOFFS

 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019



While the start of the decade saw the ending of an era as the 2010 squad failed to make the WPIAL playoffs for the first time in over a decade, the conclusion saw an upswing as former CV standout Garrett MacKenzie took over the reigns as head coach of the program recruiting help from several familiar faces including brothers Travis and Derek as well as Adam Gazda. In 2016, Coach MacKenzie guided the Colts to their first WPIAL title since his squad did it in 2001. As an encore in 2017, the Colts secured their first section title since 2008. The team closed out the decade with four consecutive playoff appearances. 


 NOTABLE PLAYER(S):

Jack Weber: (Class of 2011) Three-year letter winner who was an All-State, All-WPIAL, and three-time All-section selection for his father Gary Weber.

 Sean Tinney: (Class of 2017) The Heidelberg product capped off a great prep career by leading Chartiers Valley to the WPIAL AAA championship and a spot in the PIAA quarterfinals after scoring 23 of his 50 career goals as a senior. Tinney earned a vast array of awards over his high school career. He was named to the all-state team twice, the all-section team on three occasions, the WPIAL All-Star team twice as well as receiving NSCAA Regional All-American recognition as a senior. Tinney went on to play at Slippery Rock University.

Josh DiMatteo: (Class of 2018) Helped his high school team to a WPIAL championship, served as a team captain in 2017-18 and earned all-state, All-WPIAL and Pittsburgh Post Gazette Elite Eleven accolades while also earning a spot on the WPIAL all-star team. Played club soccer for Beadling and coach Brian Zura (a CV graduate), and was a team captain from 2013-15. Trained with the Columbus Crew Academy and the D.C. United Academy.

Chartiers Valley 7th grader selected for international tour By:  Greg Macafee Thursday, February 27, 2020 Oakdale resident John Krug was selected to play for the US Club Soccer 2020 id2 National Selection boys team. Suzanne and Brian Krug remember when their son John was just a young boy. They would take him to his older brother’s soccer game and while Joseph was playing on the field, John would play in the sand or occupy his attention in other ways — anything that wasn’t soccer. “John just didn’t have any interest,” Suzanne said. “He would be playing in the sand box area the entire time. Then, one day when he was old enough, all of a sudden he said he wanted to play.” Now, as a 13-year-old seventh-grader at Chartiers Valley, that same kid has received an opportunity to travel to England to play the sport he once didn’t want anything to do with. Earlier this month, John received an invitation to play for U.S. Soccer’s 2020 id2 National Selection International Tour

WPIAL inducts several local stars into Hall of Fame Chartiers Valley's Anderson gets call When George Anderson signed on as a member of the WPIAL’s soccer committee in 1967, the sport wasn’t that popular. In fact, there were only eight sanctioned teams in the entire district. At that time, the WPIAL champion was determined by season record and there were no playoffs. “Soccer didn’t catch on because it didn’t have professional teams here until the Pittsburgh Spirit,” Anderson said, “and also it had to share the field with football and everybody knows that football has always been king in this area.” Despite those obstacles, Anderson worked together with then WPIAL executive director Charles “Ace” Heberling to initiate a playoff system and entice more member schools to begin programs. They promoted soccer as a friendly addition to a school’s budget. “Buy a pair of shorts. Buy a T-shirt. Put a number on it. Get some soccer balls and a net and you could play the sport rel
