OLSH Wins 1st WPIAL Football Championship 28-6 Over Rochester

(Matt Drzik/Beaver County Radio)

For Our Lady Of The Sacred Heart, it’s a feeling they’ve never felt before.

For the Rochester Rams, it’s a feeling of deja vu.

Like Week 3 of the season, the Rams couldn’t figure out Dan Bradley’s defense as the OLSH Chargers held off Rochester’s running attack en route to a comfortable 28-6 victory in the WPIAL 1A Championship at Heinz Field. For OLSH (12-1), it’s their first football championship in the nine years of their football program. Rochester’s strong season comes to an unfortunate end at 11-2; both losses coming at the hands of the Chargers.

OLSH will have a bye week before playing in the PIAA semifinals.

The South Side Rams came away victorious and advanced to the WPIAL 2A Final Friday night with a 26-21  win over Charleroi in one of the two semi-final games that were played onoFriday night. The other saw Freedom’s season come to an end losing to Steel Valley 40-0.  Southside will now square off against Steel Valley in the 2A Final next Saturday at Joe Walton Stadium on the campus of Robert Morris University at 12 noon. Beaver County Radio will have coverage starting at 11:30 a.m..

The Rams were behind  21-20 with 5:27 left in the fourth quarter, South Side then mounted an 80 yards  10 play drive capping it off with Full back Jake Botkin’s 12 yard run  for the go-ahead score with only 1:27 left in the game. The two point conversion was no good giving life to the Cougars.

Charleroi did threaten in the final minute when quarterback Geno  Pellegrini completed a 53-yard pass to wide receiver Dakota Romantino to the Rams 22 yard line with 59 seconds left. After three incompletions, South Side defensive back Jake MCDougal intercepted a Pellegrini pass sealing the Rams trip to face Steel Valley in the Final.
