Game of the Week: Upper St. Clair at South Fayette
GUY: THE LAST TIME UPPER THING CLAIR TOOK THE FIELD FOR A FOOTBALL GAME WITH SOMEBODY OTHER THAN TIM RENDER AS THEIR HEAD COACH WAS 1978. THE NEW COACH HAD HIS HANDFUL WITH SOUTH FAYETTE. THE LIONS QUARTERBACK HIT CHARLIE ROSSI WITH A 35 YARDER. THEY WOULD CONNECT OFTEN. HE IS THE COACH’S SON AND CAUGHT THE WINNING TOUCHDOWN PATCH IN THE WPIAL TITLE GAME LAST YEAR. THAT WOULD LEAD TO A ONE-TO-ONE YARD FIELD GOAL BY JUSTIN CAPUTO. DAVID PENTEL US LED UPPER THING CLAIRE WITH FOUR INTERSECTIONS LAST YEAR. HE HAD TO IN THE FIRST QUARTER TONIGHT. THIS ONE RETURNED TO THE SOUTH FAYETTE 30. IT TOOK TO PLACE FOR HIM TO CATCH IT AGAIN, THIS TIME FROM HIS OWN QUARTERBACK. A 28 YARD TOUCHDOWN. 7-3 UPPER THING CLAIRE. LIKE THE FIR QUARTER, FOR STRAIGHT COMPLETIONS. ROSSI’S 51 YARD TOUCHDOWN RECEPTION MADE IT 10-7 SOUTH FAYETTE. IT’S AN OVERSIMPLIFICATION BUT THE SECOND HALF BECAME A BATTLE BETWEEN UPPER THING CLAIRE -- UPPER ST. CLAIR. 26 YARD SCORING RUN THAT PUT THEM AHEAD FOR GOOD AT 14-10. 34 PASSES FOR OVER 300 YARDS FOR SOUTH FAYETTE. HE WAS INTERCEPTED FOUR TIMES. 20-13 IN THE FOURTH QUARTER. BRANDON SHARE BATS WANT TO HIMSELF. MATTEO’S OF FOLIO WITH A 22 YARD TOUCHDOWN CATCH. HOW MUCH PRESSURE WAS THERE TO DO IT AT YOUR OWN OPERA MATTER -- ALMA MATER? IT CREATES SUCH A FAMILY ATMOSPHERE. TO COME HERE AGAINST A STORIED PROGRAM AND WIN IN THEIR STADIUM, IT MAKES IT EVEN EXTRA SPECIAL. >> EVERYTHING HE BELIEVED IN, WE EXECUTED. WE CAME OUT AND ONE TODAY. IT MEANT SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL TO HIM. >> THERE WERE NINE TOTAL TURNOVERS IN THE GAME AND WAY TOO MANY PENALTIES. PLENTY FOR BOTH COACHES TO WORK ON. THEY HAD INTO THEIR CONFERENCE OPENERS NEXT WEE
