Jeannette 30, Rochester 20

Rochester and Jeannette met for the first time ever in the WPIAL Class 1A Semi-Final on Saturday night at Fox Chapel. It was history in the making.

But as Rochester was to find out, history-making does not automatically result in an outcome worth remembering.

A dominant third quarter by the #3 Jayhawks led to a 30-20 victory over the #2 Rochester Rams on WMBA tonight. Rochester took an initial 6-0 lead before giving up 30 unanswered through the middle quarters. Jeannette will play Clairton in the WPIAL 1A Final next Saturday. Rochester ends its season at 11-1.

Caleb Collins (Rochester) and Gio Vonne Sanders (Jeanette) were selected as the CCBC Players of The Game.
