Last-second FG sends Canon-McMillan past North Allegheny into 1st WPIAL title game

With just seconds left, the season on the brink and a first trip to a WPIAL football championship game in school history on the line, Canon-McMillan didn’t blink. With his eyes wide open, Big Macs coach Mike Evans sent senior kicker Rhys Maentz onto the field. Maentz, as he has done throughout his career as the Big Macs kicker, came through in a big way. In a moment he will never forget, Maentz hit the game winning 36-yard field goal to give No. 2 Canon-McMillan a 24-21 Class 6A semifinal victory over No. 3 North Allegheny on Friday night at AHN Field at Big Mac Stadium in Canonsburg.

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

Pitt-Greensburg education students donate more than 800 books to Jeannette’s McKee Elementary

About 15 kindergartners at Jeannette’s McKee Elementary shot a hand into the air when Pitt-Greensburg education professor Melissa Marks asked the group who loves to read. “I know that’s kind of a silly thing,” Marks said, “but saying, verbalizing ‘I love to read’ means that they’re going to internalize that more. That is part of what we want for them to internalize — that they love books and they love to read.”

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
