It is with a heavy heart that I am letting you know that Kevin Walters passed away yesterday, November 6, 2020 after a lengthy battle with cancer. Kevin was the present coach at Bishop Canevin, although he was unable to attend any of the matches this season. He also coached at North Catholic when it was on Troy hill. I don’t have any of the details for his funeral, but when I get it, I will pass it along. I do know that there is a Gofund me page on Facebook to help with medical expenses. Bishop Canevin is playing today for another WPIAL title…I’m sure Kevin will be looking down on his girls.

There has been a change to Arbiter Pay for transferring funds. Each official needs to call Arbiter at 800-311-4060 to receive a personal security pin. You will enter this pin when you see “Confirmation Security Key”. It is a one time set with Arbiter. When you call if you are put on hold, a message will come up after awhile to receive a call back, I suggest you do this or you may be on hold for a long time. Arbiter has set this up as an added security to the accounts.
