Class A Championship Play of the Week

MSA Sports play of the game between Serra and Springdale was the 53 yard touchdown pass from T.J. Heatherigton to Chris Loving (Mr. Highlight)who made a juggling catch and went untouched into the endzone for the only touchdown of the day.

Stat Stars of the Week!

For week 13 of the PA Stat Stars we have one player that made the cut. Isaiah Jackson made the Stat Stars this week for his 13 punishing tackels against Springdale. Congratulations Isaiah!

Congratulations!

I forgot two important players to congratulate for their play in Friday's Championship game. Sorry guys my brain didn't thaw out until tonight.

T.J. Heatherington was named the McDonalds Player of the Game for his gritty performance. T.J. rushed for 75 yds and passed for 92 yds and one TD. Congratulations T.J.!

Robbie Heatherington's key interception in the fourth quarter stopped Springdales last chance of winning the game and for that his interception was named the Highmark Play of the game. Congratulations Robbie!

Great job guys!

WPIAL CLASS A CHAMPS!!!

Congratulations to the Eagles on a great hard fought victory yesterday! You guys did a great job and the whole Serra Catholic family is very proud of you guys.

What a game it was, the defense played great again holding Springdale to 75 total yards and keeping the streak of not giving up an offensive touchdown to 20 consecutive quarters. Even though the offensive was held well below it's average they did what they needed to do to win.

Again Congratulations to the players and coaching staff!

Also, on Thursday Isaiah Jackson was named the Post-Gazette Player of the Week for his performance against Monessen and he also was named to the Post-Gazette Fabulous Twenty-Two. Congratulations Isaiah!!

Up next for the Eagles, the quarterfinals of the PIAA State Playoffs. We are playing North Star (9-2) at Yough High School Friday Nov 30 at 7:30pm. Stay tuned for information on tickets.

One more item. I want to congratulate our offense line for being such a force this season. We have three guys with over 1,000 yards rushing which is AWESOME! Isaiah has rushed for 1,433 yds, Chris Loving (Mr. Highlight) 1,196 yds and T.J. Heatherington 1,013 yds. We also have Cam Olsen and Christian Bryan that each have over 500 yds rushing and Neal McFarland with another 200 yds. That has to be close to a state record for yards rushing in a season. We will have to look into that. If it wasn't for the big uglies up front they couldn't have rushed for all those yards. Great Job guys!!

Serra - WPIAL Champions!

Our Serra Eagles came up big tonight against a very tough Monessen team. The defense played a great game and recorded their fourth shutout in a row. Do I hear Five?
