Woodland Hills vs Pittsburgh Central Catholic Week 0 Preview

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another preview I'm really excited to see is Woody High versus Pittsburgh Central Catholic. I recently previewed the Vikings' squad for '23 for this week. We all know that PCC is stacked with D1 talent and depth in quality. Now, what about Woodland Hills? Very similar to the Vikings, the Wolverines boast D1 players along with depth and quality as well. First-year head coach Brian Tarrant will look to utilize all of his weapons that are at his disposal. Since I just got finished highlighting the Vikings, I'm gonna highlight the players from Woodland Hills that you need to look for.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/SmithScoop/status/1653772059590230017?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/SmithScoop/status/1653772059590230017?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["388165"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='388165' first='Scoop' last='Smith'] will create all kinds of problems for the Vikings.
