OLSH continues historic run with PIAA quarterfinal sweep over Fort Cherry

WEXFORD — Heading into the PIAA 2A girls high school volleyball quarterfinals match against section foe Fort Cherry, WPIAL champion OLSH has been on a roll during the postseason, only dropping one set through four matches in the WPIAL and state playoff bracket. That trend would continue on Saturday, Nov. 14, with the Chargers punching their ticket to the first state semifinal match in program history with a sweep over Fort Cherry (25-16, 26-24, 25-16). “This run that we have been on has been really exciting,” OLSH senior middle hitter Frankie Schlatterer said. “I am so proud of our team and what we have accomplished, making it to the first state semifinal match in program history. We want to continue to make history.” Despite only dropping one set during its playoff run, OLSH has had to dig deep in a handful of its matches to win sets. The experience of OLSH playing with its backs against the wall in sets became the turning point of the match against Fort Cherry (19-3) in the second set. With OLSH trailing by three points and at set point for the Rangers, the team fended off three set points and completed a 5-0 run

Hopewell survives upset scare from North Catholic to advance to WPIAL semifinals

COLLIER TWP. — There’s a simple formula when it comes to playing in the postseason and that is to survive and advance. While Hopewell might not have played its best football in the second half of its WPIAL 3A high school football quarterfinal matchup against North Catholic, it did just enough to advance to the semifinals with a 27-21 win on Friday, Nov. 13. “We made some mistakes tonight that let them gain some momentum, but hats off to North Catholic; they capitalized on our mistakes and that is what good teams do,” Hopewell coach Matt Mottes said. “It’s a culture thing. These kids are conditioned differently than Hopewell teams of the past, have a winner’s mindset and when things don’t go our way, we still fight and pull out games.” Holding a 14-point lead at the half, third-seeded Hopewell (11-1) seemed to have all the momentum, with Brody Rock rushing for his second 4-yard touchdown of the game late in the second quarter to give the Vikings an opportunity to double-dip as they would receive the second-half kickoff. Instead of capitalizing on a first-half, second-half touchdown, two turnovers from the Hopewell offense would allow No. 6 seed North Catholic

Hopewell football aims to keep 2009 vibes alive in WPIAL quarterfinals

Last week, Hopewell won a WPIAL high school football playoff game for the second consecutive season and played a home postseason game for the first time since 2009. However, Hopewell’s goals are bigger than just hosting and winning a playoff game; it is about getting back to the WPIAL championship for the first time since that 2009 season and winning its first district title in 24 years. That journey continues against North Catholic at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 13, in the WPIAL Class 3A quarterfinals at Chartiers Valley High School. “We are going to be confident; we believe in ourselves and we know what we are capable of. North Catholic has had some turnover on coaching, so they do some things differently and have made adjustments,” Hopewell head coach Mottes said. Just as it has all season, Hopewell’s offense continued to flex its muscles last week. After averaging 52 points per game during Western Hills Conference play and putting up more than 60 points in two of those contests, the team cruised to a first-round victory over Mt. Pleasant. While the offensive success has been high throughout the season, many of its starters, including quarterback James Armstrong, running back Nasir
