Its coach at the time, Tim Grgurich, assumed Fryz would end up at Pitt just like Moon Township's Tom Richards did a few years prior. But Fryz, who died in 2017, chose to take a different course, and Grgurich chose never to speak to him again for the remainder of Fryz's life.
That's a true story, one of many in a longtime basketball rivalry that has since turned into a game full of strangers.

Game Preview
When the late Joe Fryz was playing high school basketball at Moon Township back in the mid-1970s, his decision to sign with West Virginia instead of Pitt sent convulsions through the Panther program.Its coach at the time, Tim Grgurich, assumed Fryz would end up at Pitt just like Moon Township's Tom Richards did a few years prior. But Fryz, who died in 2017, chose to take a different course, and Grgurich chose never to speak to him again for the remainder of Fryz's life.
