It's been 30 years since Bill Isbir (#5) and Justin Liberatore (#44) played for the 1994 WPIAL and PIAA State Champion McKeesport Tigers football team. In this weekly series they will relive those memories through candid stories and interviews with teammates and coaches.
5:44 Port Podcast - Episode 13: The Last Episode
In our final episode, Bill and Justin recap the week, the year, and the WPIAL Championship. Even though the season did not end on a win for the Tigers, they left it all out on the field... just like we did on this show! Thank you to all of our fans, subscribers and occasional listeners. Please feel free to leave comments if you'd like us to run it back for a second season (or even during hoops... we were the WPIAL champs in basketball in 1994 as well).
