Teachers who usually spend their days in front of students were the ones in the seats and taking notes at South Fayette High School earlier this month.
THE SEMINARS EDUCATORS ATTENDED COVERED A BROAD RANGE OF TOPICS, INCLUDING HOW AI CAN ASSIST WITH THE WORKLOADS OF ADMINISTRATORS, AND HOW IT CAN BE DEPLOYED IN SPECIAL EDUCATION, MUSIC EDUCATION AND ASSIST STUDENTS WITH READING IN GRADE SCHOOL.

About 250 educators were at the high school Oct. 14 when students were off for Columbus and Indigenous Peoples’ Day for what the district said was its first-ever “future-focused learning summit.” They attended discussions, workshops and presentations about artificial intelligence and how it could reshape education. Most of the educators were from the Pittsburgh region, but there were some from Ohio and New York and one from Canada, according to Jennifer Donovan, a spokeswoman for the South Fayette School District.

Natural gas drilling dominated local discussion in Washington County in the 2010s, and with the publication of the book, “Amity and Prosperity: One Family and the Fracturing of America” in 2018, the conflicts over fracking and its impact entered the national discussion. Written by Eliza Griswold, a longtime reporter for The New Yorker, “Amity and Prosperity” was the result of seven years of research and 37 trips to Washington County. The book recounted the story of nurse and single mother Stacey Haney, whose life and that of her family was upended by fracking. The Haneys and some of their Amity neighbors filed suit against energy company Range Resources, claiming that the company’s negligence contaminated their soil and groundwater. That contamination, the 25-count suit alleged, led Haney and her children to become sick and for their pets to die.
Off-duty liquor enforcement officer killed in Montour Trail stabbing
By Jon Andreassi Staff writer jandreassi@observer-reporter.com
An off-duty state police liquor enforcement officer died Oct. 21 after he was stabbed on the Montour Trail in Moon Township, Allegheny County.
Court documents state that at about 3 p.m. that day, Moon Township police were called to the trail near 1953 Hassam Road, where Benjamin Brallier was found lying on the ground and unresponsive.
Brallier, 44, was transported to Heritage Valley Sewickley Hospital, where he was declared dead at 3:52 p.m. Homicide detectives with Allegheny County police saw what appeared to be multiple knife wounds on his back, chest and left hand.
The next day, Allegheny County police filed a charge of criminal homicide against Anthony Quesen, 25. The crim-
inal complaint indicates that Quesen is homeless, and does not provide an address.
At the scene of the stabbing, investigators discovered a trail of blood leading to a yellow bicycle.
Brallier’s wife told police that he was an “avid runner” and did not own a bicycle. According to the complaint, police found a Pennsylvania ID for Quesen inside a bag near the bike, which police later determined belonged to the suspect.
At about 10 p.m. Oct. 21, police found Quesen at the entrance to Montour Woods Conservation Area, a short walk from where Brallier was attacked, court documents state.

Fracking
The suit was settled out of court not long before “Amity and Prosperity” was published, with Range Resources paying $3 million to the Haneys and two other families, according to court documents.
Range Resources has declined to comment for this series. In 2018, the company said it took the accusations in the book “very seriously” and that its operations at its well site in Amity “did not impact the water supplies or cause any adverse health impacts to the family members or animals detailed in the book.”
“Amity and Prosperity” won glowing national reviews. The New York Times called it “sensitive and judicious” and The Washington Post said the individuals who populate the story are rendered with “novelistic fullness.” It won the Pulitzer Prize in the general nonfiction category.
In an interview with the Observer-Reporter when “Amity and Prosperity” was published, Griswold was adamant that the book was not a denunciation of fracking, but a look at how extraction industries impact families and communities. She said, “I wanted to help illustrate what the social and environmental costs are that private industry puts on people, and who’s left paying those costs.”
When reached at her home in New York last week, Griswold said, “I don’t think the system has changed at all” in the six years since “Amity and Prosperity” was published.
In fact, she added, “I think the system is more intense. But the cost of opposing, or calling these guys out, has gone up, because people need the (fracking) jobs more than ever, and to criticize fracking, even in Pennsylvania, is too politically risky.”
Griswold said her yearslong exploration of the natural gas industry’s impact in Washington County was “a way to look at the structure in which corporations and outside interests made their profit on people’s health and the air and the water. I was interested in how the larger systems worked…”
“Amity and Prosperity” grew out of an idea Griswold had for a book on America’s decaying infrastructure and the country’s “systemic failings.” Along the way, she met Haney at a community watershed event in Morgantown, W.Va., and decided to change the book’s focus.
“These are stories that need to be told, but frequently aren’t,” Griswold explained, citing the thinning number of journalists at newspapers and other media outlets. “Energy has a cost.”
More recently, Griswold has been named the director of the journalism program at Princeton University. In August, her latest book, “Circle of Hope: A Reckoning With Love, Power, and Justice in American Church,” arrived in bookstores. It tells how an evangelical church in Philadelphia was ripped apart at the start of this decade due to ideological differences. It’s among the finalists for best nonfiction book in this year’s National Book Awards. With the natural gas industry having planted itself in the region for 20 years, does she have any prediction on where it will be in another 20 years?
“No,” Griswold said. “I am not a prognosticator.”
SF celebrates seven Hall of Fame inductees
By Eleanor Bailey Almanac Sports Editor ebailey@thealmanac.net
Tradition, pride and excellence were on display Oct. 3 when South Fayette High School inducted seven new members into its Hall of Fame.
According to Dr. Michelle Miller, superintendent of schools, the honored members exemplified the commitment to the arts, athletics and academics that is central to the district’s mission.
“It’s important to acknowledge the incredible contributions to those who have been instrumental in the growth and progress of South Fayette,” Miller said.
“We have come a long way from our humble beginnings as a small single-A school to most recently being recognized as the district of the decade for our region.
“These seven have laid a foundation for all of us, brick by brick,” she continued. “We recognize the legacy upon which it was built and these visionary individuals, who made contributions here and beyond. We stand on the shoulders of giants.”
They are:
Dr. Thomas Slovick, who earned nine varsity letters for football, wrestling, golf and track, and served as class president and was a member of the National Honor Society and Key Club.
He graduated summa cum laude and was elected Phi Beta Kappa at the University of Pennsylvania before earning his medical degree from the Ivy League institution. He specialized in hematology and oncology, providing care to patients with all types of cancer and blood diseases.
A Kansas City resident, Slovik has been married to his wife, Dr. Susan Mou, for 48 years. They had three children and several grandchil-

“At South Fayette, I had incredible friends and education that shaped the person I am today. Teachers that ultimately became mentors and are now friends. They helped me discover my love of theater.”
While he cited Judy Morelli and Nicole Marchinsky as influences on his career, Greer pointed to a pivotal moment during his senior year in high school when his mother passed away.
“Still today that’s the worst thing I will ever go through, but there was not one person in my graduating class that wasn’t at that funeral, and there wasn’t one teacher who wasn’t there for me. That speaks volumes to what South Fayette is and the type of people here teaching and educating students and living in the community. I love

Quesen was arraigned Tuesday afternoon by a judge in Pittsburgh municipal court and sent to the Allegheny County Jail without bond. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. Nov. 1.

some educators have found it to be something that complicates their lives – specifically, AI chatbots have been put to use by students to quickly assemble essays that they would have once had to churn out on their own. On the other hand, however, Matthew Callison, South Fayette’s director of innovation and strategic partnerships, said that AI is “another tool that’s available to us.”
Keynote speakers at the summit were Aaron Sams, an assistant professor of education at St. Vincent College who is at work on a book on ethics in AI, and Joseph T. Yun, an artificial intelligence and innovation architect and a research professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Pittsburgh.
South Fayette had its AI summit at the same time another school district in the South Hills has been recognized for its engagement with artificial intelligence. The Mt. Lebanon School District is one of 10 schools across the country to earn the first-ever AI literacy, safety, and ethics endorsement from the Middle States Association, a school accreditation group.
The RAIL program – Responsible AI in Learning –includes endorsements pioneered by the association to help schools to safely use AI in education. Other schools recognized include the American Community School of Athens, Greece, Choate Rosemary Hall, a private boarding school in Wallingford, Conn., and the Episcopal Academy, a private institution in Newton Square.

My Problem is Your Opportunity!
You could be one of the few to buy a furnace at 20% savings!
I have run into a problem I am not used to. October is normally our boom time for replacing residential furnaces. BUT the warmer temperatures have killed our replacement business.
Well, now it looks like my problem is your opportunity.
Last week I went to lunch with one of the furnace manufacturers. He is also laced with the same problem. I told him, “I have hired technicians for the Winter rush and I have got to keep them busy!” I told him that I agree to offer a big discount to my customers if he will help me out. He called his office and they agreed to give me an unbelievable price cut.
But their price cut ends once I make up for the furnaces I normally would have purchased in October.
So Here is My Offer: I am offering you the biggest discount I have ever offered. I hope I do not ever have to do this again.
You can save 20% off the average price for one of our energy efficient furnaces.
With this price it shouldn’t take any time to make up for the sales I have lost. At that time this offer will end.
So do not delay. Call JED Heating and Cooling, lnc. @ 724-379-9220 or 412-384-2844. I will send Rick to your home for your FREE Estimate!
Congratulations on your new family member! Congratulations

South Fayette for that. South Fayette’s special.”
For Andrew DiDonato, Niel Loebig, Christian Brumbaugh, Nick Carr and Gerald Zeman, South Fayette proved special because of athletics.
In 1960, Zeman earned a full football scholarship to the University of Arizona, where he left a legacy imprinted on stone on the school’s new stadium pathway. He then went on to become an educator and a coach, including at South Fayette.
“I served the best school in the WPIAL as referenced by athletics and academics,” he said of South Fayette. “That’s only possible with great leadership in administration and hiring of great teachers.”
He also acknowledged the sacrifices made by his wife, Carol.
“She was the glue that held the family together while I was out doing my thing,” he said.
Quarterbacking was the thing for DiDonato, Loebig and Brumbaugh. Each broke passing records before the
next came along and set new standards at the high school as well as at their respective colleges: Grove City, Duquesne and William and Mary. They all noted how their families, friends, teachers and coaches provided the inspiration, not to mention the discipline, for them to flourish.

While Carr has struggled with public speaking throughout his lifetime, he never wavered on the mats. He earned his induction based on his wrestling career.
Carr compiled a 128-17 record complete with three WPIAL titles and a PIAA state crown at South Fayette.

Coen name endures with convenience store operations
By Rick Shrum For the Observer-Reporter
rshrum@observer-reporter.com
The name still endures, but Coen Oil Co. has undergone change over the past century – some of it quite flavorful.
“We have 57 Coen Markets in the tri-state area,” said Charlie McIlvaine, chairman and CEO of the Canonsburg-based business, which was once known as a local retailer service station that sold fuel, tires and other auto-related products. The trademarks of its markets are dining selections made on site, high-grade fuel and store items.
His grandfather, Charlie Coen, built up the operation in the early years following its launch in 1923.
Charlie described Coen Oil as “the mother company of the company’s markets.” He and his brother, Andy, the firm’s president, purchased the company in 2000 and ramped up its convenience store operations over time. Convenience is the operative word, according to Charlie.
The company’s principals made a pivotal change in 2012, implementing on-site food preparation featuring “crispy chicken, unfrozen piz-

za prepared in the stores and a strong focus on coffee,” the chairman/CEO said. “It’s kind of grown from there.” That growth also includes pepper-
oni rolls made from a Coen recipe.
“We were born and raised here,” Charlie said. “We’re very proud of our community and want to offer services to our guests by understanding their needs. Coen’s mission statement is “to impress and satisfy our guests and make their lives simple.”
The brothers also strive “to keep our locations attractive,” stressing orderliness and cleanliness. Charlie also is pumped up about the Amoco gasoline his stores provide, describing it as “a high-grade fuel that could enhance motorists’ mileage.”
Coen Markets operate throughout Southwestern Pennsylvania as well as the West Virginia panhandle and the Ohio Valley.
The company, Charlie said, has about 700 employees at those 57 markets.
The two newest locations are in Bethel Park, off Library
Road, and Baldwin Borough, off Clairton Boulevard. Both were built from the ground up.
A week before Christmas in 2018, Coen enhanced its holdings when it purchased all 35 CoGo’s locations that were available. Charlie McIlvaine said the company continues to be proactive in the regional community, assisting families and youths with a push from professional athletes. Cam and Connor Heyward of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Connor Joe of the Pirates have appeared at Coen Markets, pumping gas and meeting fans.
“This summer, we provided 60,000 lunches for children of need. A lot of kids get lunches at school, but school was out. Educating and assisting people in the community are important.” That’s an element of the community pride Coen espouses.

TAKING THE CROWN
Mt. Lebanon wins second tennis title in three seasons
By Eleanor Bailey Almanac Sports Editor ebailey@thealmanac.net
Mt. Lebanon’s WPIAL title for girls tennis signified a new beginning.
While the 3-2 triumph over Bethel Park on Oct. 17 marked the second Class 3A crown in three seasons and tied the Blue Devils for the district lead with rival Upper St. Clair, their 15th team championship marked the start of something special.
“The banner in Mt. Lebanon had one spot left before they could get another tennis banner,” said Blue Devil skipper Chad Brown. “When you win and you tie Upper St. Clair, it means a lot and is really cool but it’s not enough. We want to keep going. We want that new banner and the new lead in the WPIAL in girls tennis. That’s the goal.”
The Blue Devils reached
their goal of a title in 2024 by utilizing its depth. Lebo swept the doubles action, taking a commanding 2-0 lead in the competition.
Senior Sylvie Eriksen and junior Sarah Stroh combined for a win over sophomore Cassie Sierka and junior Kiera Ross, 7-5, 6-1, at No. 1 doubles.
Junior Allie Garcia and sophomore Maggie Meehan defeated BP seniors Amelia Lancet and Sara Walters, 6-0, 6-4, at No. 2 doubles.
“Depth is how you win WPIAL titles in tennis,” Brown said. “We did the same thing two years ago by winning both doubles.
“It’s hard to lose unless you are that strong in singles. Singles can go either way, but it’s hard to win all three singles.”
BP made it difficult for the Blue Devils, winning at No. 1 and No. 3 singles. However, Michelle Yang pulled through as she did when she combined
for the doubles win during the 2022 championship. Yang dispatched sophomore Mackenzie Smock, 6-3, 7-5.
“No. 2 singles was a real nail biter,” Brown said. “Michelle was able to pull it out. She knew what she had to do and we were there to support her.”
Soccer clubs advance in WPIAL playoffs

Golden goals extended the soccer seasons for Bethel Park, Mt. Lebanon and Upper St. Clair as each squad scored dramatic wins in the first round of the WPIAL playoffs.
Xavier Jackson proved the hero for the Bethel Park boys when he scored the decisive goal in a 3-2 victory over Montour. The go-ahead goal came on the heels of his tying tally with 17:08 to play. Jackson also assisted on BP’s initial goal by Youssef Benrabia less than a minute into the second half.
“Xavier had a great game,” said BP head coach Doug Fink. “He has been an inspiration for all of the players.
“His goal-scoring ability is his asset. Whether we are up or down, he has the ability to score big goals in big moments. (Against Montour), he came up big for us. We are proud of him.”
Jackson, who led the Black Hawks in scoring during the regular season with 17 goals, was even more pleased with his teammates. They provided the push for him to garner Player of the Game honors.
ELEANOR BAILEY/THE ALMANAC Liam Burlovic uses some fancy footwork to beat his defender to the ball during WPIAL Class 4A soccer playoff action. Burlovic’s play in the midfield helped Upper St. Clair beat Pine-Richland, 3-1.

USC, PT, BP among the top seeds in tournament
By Eleanor Bailey Almanac Sports Editor ebailey@thealmanac.net
Initially, things appeared to go against the Black Hawks. They missed a wide-open net in the first half and with eight minutes to play in the half, Montour went ahead, 1-0, on an own goal.
Of the equalizer, Jackson added, “I missed an opportunity earlier but I knew I had to stay confident and believe in myself. Go from there. It was an awesome feeling to score and celebrate with my teammates and the crowd. It was a great team effort all around and everything worked in our favor in the end.”
The WPIAL football playoffs commence Nov. 1 with first-round competition and 5A shapes up to be one of the most competitive brackets in the district’s six classifications.
“It’s a very level playing field at the top,” said TJ Plack, who last year guided Peters Township to the championship as well as a state runner-up showing. “I think there are six to seven teams that have a chance to be there at the end. A couple from our conference.” The Indians, along with Bethel Park and Upper St. Clair, hail from the Allegheny Six Conference, which has produced district finalists for the past five years – PT in 2019, 2020 and 2023, USC in 2022 and Moon in 2021. USC won the 2024 conference crown while Peters Township and Bethel Park battled for runner-up honors during the last regular-season game played Oct. 25.

In the win over the Bulldogs, Fisher upset the WPIAL singles champion and Gobbi won a three-set thriller in her match.
“Getting here was a heck of an accomplishment, especially the way we did it by beating Shady Side and losing to Lebo during the season,” said BP skipper Doug Addington. “Getting to the championship was a cherry on the ice cream.
“We didn’t get them,” Addington added. “(Lebo) was tougher than us. We look forward to being in the same place with them next year.”
The possibility could come sooner as both teams advanced to the PIAA team tournament. Regardless, the WPIAL final represented the best in the South Hills.
“Whoever they get in states is going to be unfortunate and whoever gets us, it’s going to be tough for them,” Addington said. “But what is absolutely awesome is that the two finalists in the WPIAL came from our section. Over the course of the years this will be remembered. We couldn’t have asked for more and there will be lots of meetings again.”
Mt. Lebanon reached the WPIAL championship match with a 5-0 win over 16th-seeded Baldwin, 4-1 triumph versus eighth-seeded Pine-Richland, and another 5-0 victory against fifth-seeded Fox Chapel.
The Blue Devils were Section IV champions with an 8-0 record. They entered PIAA tournament action with a 15-0 slate. They also have the WPIAL championship doubles tandem in Yang and Tang.
Lusk carded an even-par 72 in the final round to finish with a two-day total of 139. Lusk finished three shots behind champion Carson Kittsley. The Fox Chapel sophomore fired 68s on both days and finished with an 8-under-par 136 score. A senior, Lusk was the WPIAL champion this year. He was one of 21 golfers in the field who shot under par for the tournament.

“Winning the conference was one of our goals to start the season,” said USC field general Mike Junko. “I think it is extra special this year because our conference is stronger top to bottom than it has been in a very long time.”
The Panthers, who needed a victory over winless Baldwin to complete an undefeated regular season, were ranked No. 1 in the WPIAL and No. 2 in the state among Class 5A clubs heading into the playoffs.
In addition to wins against Peters Township, 21-7, and Bethel Park, 14-10, USC also posted wins against South Fayette, 17-7, and Moon, 357, during conference play.
By winning the conference, USC received a first-round bye in the Class 5A tournament, as did Woodland Hills in the Big East and Pine-Richland in the Northeast. The Rams won WPIAL titles in 2020 and 2022. Their triumphs came against Peters Township and USC, respectively.
In addition to the top three teams in each conference advancing to the playoffs, the WPIAL selected three wildcard teams to complete the Class 5A bracket.
“With the changes to the selection process and the expansion of teams, this will be the most difficult road to Acrisure stadium for any 5A team this year,” said Junko.
“I think the Allegheny Six conference teams will really flex their muscles in this year’s playoffs. There are so many good teams coming out of the South this year. There will certainly be some tough opponents from the Big East and Northeast conferences, but I will not be surprised to see a number of teams from
Lusk was one of 21 golfers in the boys 3A field who shot under par for the tournament.
Connor McKenzie of Upper St. Clair finished tied for 12th position. He finished with a 3-under-par 141. He shot 71 on the first day of competition and finished with a 70 on the final 18 holes.
Other local male competitors included: Sam Bishop form South Fayette and Grif-
fin Hansberry from Peters Township. Bishop tied for 39th place with a 76-74–150 score. Hansberry placed 41st with a 79-72–151 total.
In the girls Class 3A tournament, Benson tied for seventh place. She finished five strokes behind Mya Morgan. The Elizabeth-Forward junior shot 75 in her final round to win the PIAA title by one stroke.
Morgan was runner-up to
the area advancing deep into these playoffs.”
The WPIAL Class 5A final is scheduled for Nov. 23 at Acrisure Stadium. Kickoff is to be determined.
For the Panthers, a firstround bye enables them to get healthy and focus on fundamentals during an extra week of practice. USC is still awaiting the return of Dante Coury. He had been the team’s No. 2 rusher with 569 yards and seven touchdowns before suffering an injury to his right ankle.
However, John Banbury has emerged as a capable replacement, running alongside Julian Dahlem. In the win against Moon, Banbury led with 100 rushing yards on 19 carries. He scored twice and also had three receptions for 59 yards and another touchdown. Before the Baldwin game, Banbury had 547 yards, second only to Dahlem with more than 1,000.
“Dante is on the mend and we are hoping he is available to play later this season but John has done a great job for us,” Junko said. “He is a physically punishing runner and he

“It was a very strange and bizarre first half,” Fink said. “I told them though that sometimes in the playoffs expect the unexpected. I have faith in these guys. I believe in them.
“It was a great game. Montour deserves a lot of credit. They gave us all that we could handle and it could have gone either way. We stuck to the game plan and relied on a whole team effort. That’s the beauty about soccer in my mind. Everybody gave their all.”
has gotten better each week. He has a very high football IQ and is very mature for a sophomore.”
The Panthers continue to hone their passing attack. Against the Tigers, Ethan Hellmann completed eight passes for 109 yards and two touchdowns, including to top target Charlie Bywalski. Dahlem also completed 2 of 3 passing attempts.
“We have to be efficient throwing the football,” Junko said. “Teams will do everything they can to take away our ability to run the football and we have to have the ability to throw the ball. I am happy with the progress we are making and we have full faith in our quarterbacks and wide receivers to continue to make plays for us in the playoffs.”
Throughout the season, USC has relied upon its linemen to carry to load, both offensively and defensively.
Princeton recruits Nate Stohl and Michael Albert anchor the lines but Austin Middleton, Mason Geyer, Brock Gillespie, Reese Pirain and Bobby Fleckenstein have been con-
The Lady Hawks (10-6-3) gave their all against Thomas Jefferson and scored a 3-2 win in double overtime in their first-round playoff contest.
Grace Ferency proved the heroine for the Lady Hawks. She tallied the game-winner. It was her second goal in the contest. Emma Impellicceiri provided the other goal.
While the BP boys advanced to face Latrobe in the quarterfinals, the Lady Hawks met South Fayette in their second-round contest Oct. 24. (Results unavailable at press time.)
The Lady Lions, who won the Class 3A title in 2023 and are the No. 2 seed in this year’s tournament, won their firstround match at home against Kiski. In the 4-0 shutout, Quinn Miller, Gabby Beinecke, Abbey Spalla and Mia Patel scored the
Benson in the WPIAL championships.
Benson carded 72 on the first day and followed with a 76 in the final round to finish with a 148 total. Morgan’s scoring was 68-75–143 for the two-day tournament.

tributors, too, and big reasons why the Panthers are averaging more than 34 points per game while allowing under 10 to their opponents.
“We have done a good job of winning the battles at the line of scrimmage and taking care of the football,” Junko said.
“Our defense has really improved with each game. They have won us some games with their play this year. “
So in order to be successful in the postseason, the Panthers must stay the course.
“We need to stay healthy and continue to play complimentary football,” Junko said. “We need to rely on our experience and know that we will be in some tough games against really good opponents. I think our players are excited about the road ahead.”
The Indians, likewise, are thrilled to be back in the playoffs. They clinched their position with a 49-8 thumping of Baldwin.
In the victory, Nolan DiLucia completed 8 of 11 passes for 195 yards and four touchdowns.
While Darius McMillon and Nick Courie rushed for 38and 3-yard scores, Eli Prado and Reston Lehman pulled in 28- and 55-yard scoring strikes.
Nick McCullough grabbed touchdown passes of 12 and 54 yards. He also returned a punt 57 yards for another score.
“Nick is a threat when he is on the field. It’s nice when you have one of those guys,” Plack said.
“As a play caller, it’s nice to get the ball to him in space and watch him go. Also, it’s something defenses have to prepare for, and we need to see how they want to play him, and figure a way to get the ball to our other guys.”
Plack was pleased with the Baldwin win for multiple reasons.
goals. Mia Deramo registered three assists. Meanwhile, Mt. Lebanon upended Norwin, 1-0, in a shootout. Lucy Pryor had the game-winning penalty kick on the fifth and final attempt. Makenna Tappe made a key save and also provided a PK in the shootout.
The win snapped a fourgame losing streak for the Blue Devils and put them in the quarterfinals against North Allegheny.
The Lebo boys, however, were not so lucky. They dropped a 6-0 decision at Seneca Valley and ended their season at 11-7 overall.
Anelise Castrodale provided the game-winning goal in Upper St. Clair’s 3-1 victory against Butler. Chloe Bird scored off a penalty kick, giving the Lady Panthers a 1-0 advantage with
Betty Glyptis placed 29th and Brooke Vowcheck was 30th. Their totals were 167 and 170 respectively.
The Lady Indians were also entered in the PIAA team tournament, which was played on Oct. 23 at Penn State. (Results were unavailable at press time.) Peters Township was the 2023 state champion. The Lady Indians earlier captured their third straight WPIAL team title for girls golf.
“We played as a program,” he said. “We did the little things, things we were not doing at the beginning of the season, not many missed assignments. We are improving, and quite possibly getting healthy at the right time. We are a work in progress.”
Meanwhile, Bethel Park emerges as a top contender in the tournament because the Black Hawks continue to blend Ryan Petras into the offense. In his second game back from surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder, Petras caught eight passes for 161 yards during a 35-14 win against South Fayette. He hauled in scoring strikes of 28 and 52 yards. Tanner Pfeuffer completed 16 of 28 passes for 261 yards and four touchdowns, including 22- and 10-yard strikes to Mitchell Paschl and Brayden Bruckner. Pfeuffer also rushed for a touchdown.
JaVaughn Moore rolled up 119 yards and continues to be one of the top two rushers in the WPIAL.
For the Lions, Drew Welhorsky completed 13 passes for 132 yards. He tossed a 63yard scoring strike to Tyler Sidhom and rushed for a 14yard score.
With a 42-20 win against Hempfield, Mt. Lebanon improved its playoff positioning in the Class 6A Quad County Conference.
During the victory, Patrick Smith completed 9 of 11 passes for 111 yards and two touchdowns of 9 and 42 yards to Noah Schaerli and Joe Malone. He also rushed for 110 yards and two scores. Sam McAuley rushed for a 3-yard touchdown and returned a kickoff 89 yards for Lebo’s final score. Brady Lowe kicked the extra points. In a 49-7 loss to Thomas Jefferson, Jake Lewis scored on a 76-yard run for Chartiers Valley.
23:20 to play in the first half. After the Golden Tornado tied the match, Castrodale planted a 25-yard shot into the net with seven minutes left in the half, to lift USC back into the lead. Meredith Huzjak provided an insurance tally in the second half.
With the win, USC advanced to face No. 2 Seneca Valley in the quarterfinal match Oct. 24. The USC boys also won their first-round match by a 3-1 score against Pine-Richland. Shawn Khurana scored twice to give the Panthers a 2-0 lead at halftime. Jack Belack and Bryce Potter served up the assists.
Though the Rams narrowed the gap with a goal in the 67th minute, Andrew Fulton’s tally in the 70th minute again provided a two-goal cushion for the Panthers. USC improved to 10-5-2 overall and advanced to play Fox Chapel in a quarterfinal match on Oct. 26. Results of all quarterfinal matches were unavailable to The Almanac at press time. WPIAL semifinal contests are set for Oct. 28-30. The championship games are scheduled for Oct. 31-Nov. 2 at Highmark Stadium.

A LASTING LEGACY
Southern Beltway bridge dedicated to firefighter killed in 2022 accident
By Jon Andreassi Staff writer
jandreassi@observer-reporter.com
The family of a firefighter killed in a car crash in 2022 gathered at a bridge on the Southern Beltway Oct. 18 as it was dedicated in his name.
The bridge crosses over State Route 980 in Cecil Township, and officials unveiled the sign bearing its new name: Terry D. Tackett Jr. Memorial Bridge.
Tackett was a lieutenant at Presto Fire Department in Collier Township, Allegheny County. He died at the age of 32 on Oct. 19, 2022, following a multi-vehicle accident on Interstate 376 East.
“Mr. Tackett loved helping people anyway he could and enjoyed saving lives as a volunteer fireman. Mr. Tackett was known as a selfless caring and courageous individual who would sacrifice his own well-being to come to the aid of others,” said state Rep. Jason Ortitay at the dedication ceremony.
Ortitay introduced legislation earlier this year to name the bridge after Tackett.
Tackett’s mother, Sherry Rehak, read a message on behalf of her daughter-in-law, Rachael Tackett.
“Terry believed that no act of kindness, no matter how small, was ever wasted,” Rehak said.
Tackett’s father, Terry Tackett Sr., spoke before the cover was pulled off the sign. He described his son as
a loving person who would do anything for anybody to the crowd that included relatives, elected officials and first responders.
Tackett Jr. grew up in Cecil Township, where Tackett Sr. still lives, not far from the bridge.
“Him and his brother drove dirt bikes,” Tackett Sr. said.
Tackett Jr. had worked professionally as a foreman for Golden Triangle Construction in Imperial, according to his father.
Tackett Sr. gave credit to Matt Burd, assistant chief engineer at the
