She ranks second in the WPIAL’s largest class with 20.2 points per game.

Wetzel has taken leap on the court, as well. “I’m not saying I’m not proud of my other offers, but this just means a lot for it to be a Power Five school offer, especially Pitt. Former Chartiers Valley star Aislin Malcolm is a freshman at Pitt, while North Allegheny senior Jasmine Timmerson is a Pitt commit.

Pitt has landed WPIAL players in consecutive recruiting classes. She offered Wetzel a scholarship the very next day. The Colts clipped Peters Township by two points, but Wetzel scored a game-high 23 points during a performance that must have impressed Mitchell. On Friday, Pitt associate head coach Terri Mitchell was in the crowd to watch Wetzel and Peters Township host Chartiers Valley. Wetzel picked up her biggest offer to date last weekend. Colleges have taken notice, with Kent State, Davidson, George Mason, Tulsa and Buffalo all extending offers. A 6-foot-2 guard/forward, Wetzel is one of the top scorers and rebounders in Class 6A. Wetzel is off to a tremendous start to her sophomore season and second as a starter. And if a recent scholarship offer is any indication, Wetzel could have a Power Five future just like Marisa. Years later, it’s Wetzel, a sophomore, now starring on Peters Township’s varsity team. The technology was a predominant element in creating this change.As a sixth grader, Natalie Wetzel sat in the stands at Pitt’s Petersen Events Center watching Makenna Marisa lead Peters Township to its first WPIAL girls basketball championship. “We needed a solution that would move away from passive learning and make the students more engaged. “Despite having smartboards and projectors scattered throughout the district, these technologies didn’t support collaborative learning between teachers and students, or even between students and students,” says Swinchock. Adam Swinchock, Director of Educational & Informational Technology, felt that more enhanced learning could be achieved by revamping the classroom technology. Peters Township School District in McMurray, PA was looking to improve the quality of education for the district’s 4,400 students by updating the learning technology used in classrooms throughout the district.Īt the time, Peters Township had a mix of white boards and projectors unevenly distributed throughout the five district schools.
