There will probably be a brand new champion within the WPIAL’s Class 2A classification after defending champion Serra Catholic was upset and dethroned Friday night time.
No. 12 Washington bought three takeaways and two defensive touchdowns from Carlos Harper, and Eddie Lewis ran for 197 yards on 20 carries to steer the Prexies to a 49-21 win over the Eagles at Norwin Excessive Faculty.
“Final sport was shut, and we knew we made just a few errors in that sport they usually bought the large play,” Washington coach Mike Bosnic stated. “We had been assured coming in, and we thought this was a very good matchup for us.”
The groups had been forwards and backwards all through the primary half.
After the Prexies (7-4) went up 21-14 within the second quarter, they bought the cushion they wanted when Harper scooped up an Elijah Ward fumble on the 1-yard line and rolled 99 yards the opposite means for a rating.
“Carlos led us tonight,” Bosnic stated. “He performed the way in which everyone knows he can play, and he confirmed what an important athlete he’s.”
The sport was eerily just like the workforce’s first assembly.
Washington took an early lead on quarterback Logan Carlisle’s 1-yard landing run.
Serra Catholic (7-4) instantly answered with a Ward 1-yard run.
The Prexies counted with fullback Brenden Sibert’s 22-yard landing run on a fast hitter via the intestine of the Serra protection.
For the sport, the Prexies racked up 317 yards on the bottom.
“We couldn’t cease their operating sport, and we made means too many errors,” Eagles coach Jose Regus stated. “Can’t win a sport with that many errors.”
The Eagles tied the rating 14-14 within the second on a 26-yard landing go from Ward to Amire Spencer. The WPIAL’s main receiver, Spencer completed with 10 catches for 136 yards.
The Prexies went forward as Harper doubled his dashing whole for the season with a 60-yard landing to make it 21-14.
The Eagles drove all of it the way in which again down and appeared poised to strike earlier than Ward’s fumble changed into six factors for the Prexies.
“We bought these large turnovers within the first sport, this time they bought them. Simply mistake after mistake,” Regus stated.
Michael Schanck pulled the Eagles to inside a landing with a 12-yard run, however the Prexies answered again.
After beginning quarterback Logan Carlisle went out with an obvious leg damage, backup Nick Blanchette took his first snap. He executed an important play-action go and hit Zxavian Willis with a 12-yard landing throw to make it 35-21 on the half.
“Nick’s a program child. He’s a very good participant, and we now have a ton of confidence he can are available in there and do the job,” Bosnic stated.
The Eagles had been capable of get stops on the highly effective dashing assault of the Prexies within the second half, however they may by no means capitalize.
Serra Catholic turned it over 5 occasions, as soon as on downs, a pair of fumbles, an interception ultimately zone by Brayce Patterson, and the large blow, a pick-6 by Harper.
Lewis added a 29-yard landing run with two minutes remaining for the ultimate rating of the night time.
“When he’s on and he’s seeing the opening, he hits that gap exhausting and fast. He’s not the largest child, however he’s robust to deliver down,” Bosnic stated.
With the win, the Prexies transfer on to face No. 4 Neshannock Friday at a website and time to be decided. It was their first playoff win since 2019.
“We lastly performed 4 nice quarters,” Bosnic stated. “It’s been a very long time coming. We had been capable of power turnovers and get some actually large performs. We want that to proceed.”

Washington Fire Department adds food drive to annual Santa parade
WASHINGTON (25News Now) – A new tradition was born in the Town of Washington Thursday night, on top of one that’s already been going for 11 years.
The city’s fire department used its annual Santa parade as an opportunity to collect food donations for ‘Washington Helps Its People,’ more commonly known as WHIP.
Fire Captain Jakob Spitzer said the department started its annual Santa parade in 2013 after the tornado tore through town. It was a way to reconnect with neighbors after the tragedy.
As the number of spectators grows each year, the acts of service have started to follow.
“It’s a perfect opportunity for families to come together, to donate, and to give during this Christmas season,” Spitzer said.
WHIP hosts a food pantry twice a month, serving nearly 200 families. However, one volunteer, Sharla Davis, says the number of people in need has recently grown, making community involvement more important.
“Our demand is greater, so our community is really just stepping up. This is a great way that people can just donate from right out of their house; they don’t have to drive the donation to us, they don’t have to send us a check, they can just walk out their door, say hi to Santa, and be able to put food on the truck,” said Davis.
This year marks the first time the firefighters have added the WHIP Collection to the tradition, and they said they’ll continue it from here on out.
During Thursday’s 11-mile parade route, WHIP leaders estimate people donated over 3,000 pounds of food, including canned vegetables, cereal, and crackers.
People interested in donating but missed the collection or the fire trucks didn’t drive down their street can drop off nonperishable items at either the fire department or WHIP off Peoria Street.
