SF appoints new director of student support services
Dr. Kellee Oliver has been appointed the new director of student support services for the South Fayette School District. She is expected to start in her new position in late February 2025 Oliver has been working in education for 14 years and spent the
last two years as director of student services in the Beaver Area School District. Previously, she was coordinator of pupil personnel services in the Hopewell Area School District where she also served as a certified school psychologist since 2010. Dr. Arleen Wheat will help guide
the student support services department on an interim basis until Oliver fully transition to South Fayette. Wheat will partner with Gretchen Tucci, the district’s current assistant director of student support services and school psychologist, as interim directors through February.
Clarke White, the youngest of five siblings, choked up while recollecting the times he competed on the gridiron, court and diamond with his brothers and teammates. He recalled being crushed as a quarterback enough times to call it quits, opting instead for a job at a friend’s sweet shop scooping ice cream into cones for customers.
“I hated football because I was always getting killed. It was the worst season and coaches were asking, ‘Who’s coming back?’ All hands raised except mine. My parents said if you are not playing a sport in the fall, you need to get a job,” continued the son of Larry and Jeanne White. “So I got a job scooping ice cream into a cone. I wasn’t very good at it. So when two coaches came to my house to talk me into coming back, the decision was easy.”
White added he was “appreciative” of not just his coaches but his teammates, who provided his strongest memory of the Black Hawks coming back from a 34-13 third-quarter deficit to beat Baldwin in football. White also reached the WPIAL finals in baseball and earned a scholarship to play at Akron.
“That doesn’t happen without all the people instrumental in my success,” he said. “They are a huge part of why I stand here (being inducted). It’s a special moment.”
A distinct one at that, too. White was enshrined along with his brother, Corey. His oldest sibling, Craig, entered the BP Hall in 2009.
The White name is synonymous with baseball success at Bethel Park.
Craig played on a WPIAL championship and PIAA runner-up team before matriculating to Slippery Rock University in 1986. Drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers, he played two seasons in their minor league system.
Curt, who has yet to be inducted into the hall, was a WPIAL champion in 1987 and the
starting second baseman on BP’s first PIAA winner in 1988.
Clarke played in the 1995 WPIAL title tilt while Corey was in the 1990 district final. Corey’s sons, Owen and Chase, are current members of the Black Hawks’ baseball club. Owen, who will continue his career at Allegheny College, played on last year’s WPIAL runner-up team.
Chase is a sophomore.
Corey and Clarke’s nephew, Cody, starred at third base and on the mound for the 2022 PIAA championship squad.
“Baseball has been a good family affair and the Whites have had a great 10-year run. Now to see Corey’s kids coming through and seeing what they can do and what Carrie’s son did,” said Craig. “It’s a good time for the Whites in Bethel Park.”
Craig added that it was “great” to see his brothers inducted together because sports have been something the two have been doing for a long time.
“Well deserved,” he said. “It’s great to see these guys get this opportunity. They have worked hard and had fun together.”
Clarke and Corey reflected on their simultaneous achievement.
“I never thought this would come so I was shocked when I was told,” said Clarke, a Mt. Lebanon resident who works for Donati Florist. “Then to find out I’d do it with Corey was even more special. Pretty cool,” he added.
“When you are playing, you are not thinking of creating a legacy. You just played to have fun, compete and try to win for your school. So it’s great to see those, particularly Owen and Chase, following in our footsteps.”
Corey, on the other hand, contemplated his impact on the program while he played.
“You want to set a standard. Set an example for future generations. So, it’s very exciting to be inducted when my children are playing here because the standard is back and they are trying to carry it on.”
Playing sports laid the foundation for future success for Corey as well as the other in-
ductees, which included: Janice Fischer, Class of 1974; Dr. Rick Dukovich, Class of 1979; and Jordyn Wells, Class of 2004.
“I learned patience from baseball and not always being successful,” said Corey, who works at Crown Castle. “In football, just learning the grit and the grind of doing it every day. It’s what you do in your work life when you continue to strive when things are not going well. Nothing also can be accomplished without teammates. Those things have enabled me to succeed through this fun journey of life.”
Jordyn Wells concurred as she embarks on her journey as a parent. Eleven months ago, she and her husband, Jake Baer, welcomed Grayson into the world. She hopes her son can benefit from a career in golf as she has.
Wells, who also competed in track, was a three-time PIAA qualifier in golf, finishing runner-up in the state in 2002. She was a WPIAL champion and a two-time bronze medalist in the district. She competed at Michigan State, guiding the Spartans to Big 10 championships while earning All-Big 10 academic honors three times.
“Bethel Park shaped me and groomed me into the person that I am today,” said Wells, who lives in Indianapolis and works for Eli Lilly.
“Golf gave me an incredible opportunity to play at Michigan State and enjoy experiences I will never forget. I have friends and a lifetime of memories that I would not have had otherwise if it were not for my participation in sports at Bethel Park.”
Wells acknowledged the village that enabled her triumphs. It started with her parents, Greg and Jana, and brother, Connor, who played hockey for the Black Hawks. It included coaches as well as teachers and school administrators.
“My parents taught me that my worth was not tied to the score that I shot that day but they also reminded me that I could always do better. Their unwavering support taught me the power of resilience and unconditional love, which I hope to pass on to my son.
“My success in sports is great,” she continued, “but a well-rounded education is equally important, too. So I owe that to my instructors.
“So this award is not about all the races I ran or all the courses that I played. It’s about all the things I learned along the way. The dedication, hard work, teamwork and the relationships you build along the way. These lessons have stayed with me throughout my life.”
Fischer concurred. She helped establish the girls’ swimming program at Beth-
el Park. After her senior year, where the Lady Hawks finished runner-up in the district, Bethel Park embarked on a record-setting run of WPIAL titles from the mid1970s through the 1980s.
Fischer went on to swim at Penn State University.
“In all memories, from BP to PSU, and the lifelong friends I have made, the things I learned about life, perseverance and the value of teamwork that comes across in my job. And, to have fun in life,” she added.
Dr. Rick Dukovich, perhaps, had the most fun at the induction ceremony because many of his former teammates attended, turning the event into a reunion.
Dukovich quarterbacked the Black Hawks for three years and to a conference championship. In addition to passing for 3,000 yards and scoring 20 career touchdowns, he maintained a career .395 batting average.
Dukovich played in the Big 33 Classic before embarking on a successful career at the University of Pittsburgh, participating in the Fiesta, Gator, Sugar and Cotton Bowls, while earning a degree in dentistry. He is currently a parttime faculty member at the dental school.
“I try not to live by living the past, but it seems like only
yesterday,” he said during his acceptance speech. “While I wake up and thank God for all my blessings every day, sometimes though you need to reflect and this is one of them.
Paul Plocki, Class of 1948, was also inducted into the BP HOF posthumously. Likewise, Ed Strall was recognized with the Distinguished Contribution Award.
Plocki competed in football and basketball, and Tanner Pfeuffer, a senior who excels in those sports, made the presentation.
Baseball coach Patrick Zehnder accepted on behalf of Strall and recognized his “everlasting legacy” that paved the way for the successful teams Bethel Park has produced on the diamond for 40-plus years.
“Many here have benefited from the foundation he laid, including myself,” Zehnder said. “Not just for BP but for this area, which is one of the strongest areas for baseball in the state. A big piece of that is the BP baseball program that Strall established and maintained by the people to continue that legacy.”
Tony Fisher, who is president of the Hall of Fame committee, emceed the event and reminded the public that nominations are open for next year’s Hall of Fame inductees. Forms can be found on the school district’s website.

uninterrupted time with a parent or loved one. The ideas vary and suit every budget.
Marsha Pratt, director of Kingdom Kids Christian Preschool in Mt. Lebanon, has raised five daughters with her husband, Tom. She’s worked with children for nearly 15 years.
“I think experiences are huge. What they say they want, what is on TV or their iPads versus what they will remember later are two different things,” said Pratt. In the case of her own family, each of her children was given a letter that contained the gift of oneon-one time with their parents that they could “cash in” later.
“It could be anything from going on a specific bike ride somewhere to a park, to seeing a movie or a play,” said Pratt. “It could be going to the museum without everybody. And they loved that. Their friends would say they wished they could do that, too.”
A former elementary school teacher and mother of four, Erin Ritchey of Upper St. Clair and her husband, Stephen, plan something similar each year.

“Santa always brings some toys, but my husband and I want to give something from us as well, and that’s where we usually try to do the nontraditional type of gift. We try to focus on experiences, quality time together, and we especially like to do things that involve a choice for them because, we feel like, as a kid, you don’t get to choose all that much in your life,” Ritchey said. “One of their favorites is a ‘yes’ day, with parameters (we are not adopting a giraffe or anything like that). Those are the gifts they remember … they will say, ‘Remember the year we did that and we got to eat ice cream for breakfast?’” Ritchey based the day on the “Yes Day!” picture book published in 2011 by Amy Krause Rosenthal and Tom Lichtenhled. Pratt said her kids enjoyed “yes days” as well, with boundaries.
“Ice cream for breakfast, PJs all day, just time when the kids kind of feel like they are in control. Depending on their age, you can guide them in things
they can choose,” she said. Pratt recalled her grandmother, when on a tight budget, giving a box “with Scotch

PT school directors consider charter school application
By Jon Andreassi Staff writer
A charter school in the Bethel Park School District that was forced to close after two months in operation is seeking a new home in multiple school districts, including Peters Township.
Beth Opat, founder of Dogwood Charter School, appeared before the board of school directors Dec. 16 for a public hearing. Elected officials did not render a decision, and continued the hearing to an unscheduled date in 2025. In 2023 the school was approved to operate in the Bethel Park School District this school year. Bethel Park oversaw the school as authorizer.
They had been at an old church building on Madison Avenue, but Opat explained zoning issues led to an abrupt
BETH OPAT TOLD THE SCHOOL BOARD THAT DOGWOOD CHARTER SCHOOL IS LOOKING FOR A HOME IN ONE OF FOUR DISTRICTS – PETERS TOWNSHIP, BETHEL PARK, BALDWIN OR WEST JEFFERSON HILLS – AND IS STILL TRYING TO FIND A SUITABLE BUILDING.
closure toward the end of October.
“The township felt that we were changing the use and needed our own separate occupancy … They were not willing to allow us to stay there unless we brought everything up to current educational code, which we knew was not able to be a possibility,” Opat said.
According to Opat, 72 K-8 students who had enrolled either moved to home school, cyberschool or back to their home district.
Opat told the school board that Dogwood is looking for a home in one of four districts
– Peters Township, Bethel Park, Baldwin or West Jefferson Hills – and is still trying to find a suitable building.
School directors appeared somewhat skeptical, wondering how Dogwood could guarantee students would not be put in the same predicament, and why the school was applying in multiple districts.
“If you find a building in another district, are you just going to withdraw your application then?” asked school Director Lisa Anderson.
Opat replied that it wouldn’t be her decision to
make, but clarified it is not their intention to open multiple schools.
Dogwood Charter School operates under the philosophies of English educator Charlotte Mason, with a focus on “relational education” and the relationships between students and the subjects they are learning.
“Charlotte Mason was very much about, ‘They will take in what they can take and what they can’t, they won’t, and as the years progress they take in more each time on the topic,’” Opat said.
According to Opat, many of the students who attended Dogwood struggled in traditional education environments. Many of them are neurodivergent and diagnosed with conditions such as ADHD.
During public comment, multiple parents in the Peters Township School District who were sending their children to Dogwood spoke highly of their family’s experience with the school.
“I’m also a mom to neurodevelopmental differences that are across the spectrum,” said Heather Machin. “My younger two were the ones who started at Dogwood this year. I don’t want to get emotional here, but the difference in them was night and day coming off of the bus.”
The school board has not yet scheduled a date for the continued hearing.
BP police warn of new scam
Bethel Park Police Department is warning residents of an unusual scam that involves unsolicited deliveries.
According to a press release issued by the police, the “brushing scam” sees its potential victims receiving packages in the mail they did not order, with no sender information.
The packages typically contain jewelry or small electronics, as well as a QR code. Police warn not to scan the code with their phones, as the scammer could access personal information.
According to police, you may keep the item in the package if you wish, or you can mark it “return to sender.” Anyone with information can contact police at their tip line, 412-851-2773.

tape, paper, sticky notes, glue … things that were disposable, but as a parent we would dole out carefully. It was like a ‘yes’ day in a box.”
Passes to their local recreation center to swim or take lessons are great, especially with something they just want to try out, Pratt said. For kids who like to cook or be in the kitchen, Crate, located on Greentree Road in Scott Township, offers Cooking with Kids classes for ages 6 and older and camps for kids ages 9 and up during the summer.
It’s a way to create memories in the kitchen.
“In my opinion, food memories are the best memories I have with family members, friends, whether we are creating food together or sitting around the table chatting. And whenever they take these recipes home and re-create them, they can talk about the experience that they’ve had together in our kitchen,” said owner Jen Clark.
Classes are two-and-a-half hours and include eating what is prepared. Classes fill up quickly, and gift cards are avail-
able. For more information go to www.cratecook.com.
To teach your child about investing, consider purchasing a share of stock. The company, GiveAshare, sells single shares of stock, allowing the recipient to become a real shareholder and receive a framed certificate.
“Our goal is make it easy for people to buy shares as a gift,” said Erin Clerici, co-owner of GiveAshare.
The intention is to primarily teach kids, but they have found adults can benefit as well.
“We really want to use it as a tool to teach kids, or anyone, about stocks and investing and give them a tangible piece of a company they can relate with … a visual representation that they can put on their wall reminding them about the value. And then every mailing from their company becomes a learning experience,” said Clerici.
The cost depends on the stock’s market price. The lowest stock available is priced at about $48, and with fees costs about $94 for an unframed certificate. GiveAshare is based in Arizona, www. giveashare.com. Passes or tickets to museums such as the Carnegie Science Center, Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium, The Pittsburgh
Children’s Museum, Heinz History Center or Kennywood are options for spending a day or multiple ones with your family or one-on-one.
“It seems to be a very trendy thing right now, giving the gift of experiences, so Kennywood season passes are the perfect kind of gift,” said Taylor Bulischeck, marketing director for the Kennywood Park.
“Our season passes that you can buy during the holiday season are good for the entire next year, so that includes our core summer season as well as our Halloween event, fall fest and Christmas event holiday lights. With select passes, the gold and platinum, you get all the events all year long, unlimited admission to the park plus great perks, depending on which pass you purchase,” said Bulischeck.
For information, go to https://www.kennywood. com.
“The memories that families make at the zoo last a lifetime,” said Katie Hughes, director of marketing for the Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium.
“As a Pittsburgh resident, and from people who come to visit us regularly, anyone you talk to in Pittsburgh talks about times they came to the zoo and the excellent times they had had with their families,” Hughes said. “And it’s a great way to connect with wildlife.” December through February the zoo presents
“Penguins on Parade” Saturdays and Sundays. The zoo offers tiers of membership, including family memberships that includes two adults and all children in the household under the age of 18, as well as a grandparent membership for two seniors plus grandchildren under the age of 18. For more information, visit https://www.pittsburghzoo.org/.
“The experience gifts stretch out the magic of christmas. It’s not something they ‘open’ that day, but it’s something they still get to look forward to,” said Ritchey.

Township Manager Paul Lauer explained the large difference between expenses
“What that is mostly a reflection of is the fact that we have bond money that we’ve been holding onto to undertake projects in the park,” Lauer said.
Lauer added that the township will have more than $6.8 million in grant funding next year, 23% of the expected revenue. “That amount would be extraordinary for our community,” Lauer said.

Most Valuable Player
Stohl leads list of Almanac football all-stars
By Eleanor Bailey Almanac Sports Editor ebailey@thealmanac.net
Nate Stohl harbors a mean streak.
The Upper St. Clair High School senior exhibits the trait but only on the gridiron.
“Off the field, Nate is one of the most genuine, kind people you could possibly know,” said USC football coach Mike Junko. “A great teammate and leader.”
A high honors student with a 4.3-plus GPA, Stohl is involved in a plethora of extracurricular activities including student council, natural helpers and mentoring programs. He also belongs to Stand Together. The invitation-only, school-affiliated club deals with mental health and substance abuse issues.
Once the Panthers’ team captain stepped between the white lines though, Stohl turned into a modern-day Jack Lambert or Ray Lewis. He ruled both sides of the line and led USC to a conference championship and an 11-1 record.
“Nate just flipped a switch. Became a violent horse,” said Junko. “His intensity was unrivaled.
“He was just about the most disruptive player I have had the honor to coach on defense,” Junko continued. “On offense, physical violence was his calling card.”
Opposing players and coaches took notice. They couldn’t help but take into account the imposing figure – he stands 6-3 and weighs 270 pounds – playing guard on offense and end on defense.
“You had to know where he was at all times and make sure you used two guys to block him,” Junko said.
“There were a lot of good skill players in the South Hills this season but I don’t think any of those really talented players could change a game the way Nate could,” Junko continued.
Stohl also altered the tradition of selecting a quarterback, tailback or receiver for the prestigious honor of Most Valuable Player. Not only did he earn the distinction of Player of the Year in the Allegheny Six Conference, he garnered the distinction as The Almanac’s Most Valuable Player for the 2024 football season.
“This is a tremendous honor to be selected as Almanac MVP, especially with the amount of talented players within the South Hills,” Stohl said. “I’m very grateful for this achievement. It would not be possible without my coaches, teammates and family and I am thankful for their endless support.” MVP was not the lone distinction for Stohl this fall. He was an all-conference performer on both sides of the ball, earning first-team laurels five times throughout his career. He also was the 2024 Bill Fralic Award recipient as the best interior two-way lineman in the WPIAL
As an offensive lineman, Stohl
paved the way for the Panthers to roll up 4,727 all-purpose yards, including 3,152 yards rushing. USC managed 393.3 yards per game while racking up 32.8 points per game.
As a defensive end, Stohl led the team with 16 tackles for loss and six sacks. He averaged 4.6 tackles per game.
“Nate was instrumental to our success,” Junko stressed. “His ability to alter a football game separated him from everybody else and made him the best player in the area.”
Stohl also blossomed into a leader for the Panthers. He took his role as captain seriously.
“I believe my role was to be a leader,” he said. “I tried to motivate the younger players to step up and to play for the seniors.”
Though the season did not end up with a WPIAL championship, Stohl considered the 2024 campaign a success.
“Finishing the regular season 10-0 and ending with only one overall loss are great accomplishments,” he said. “The team had a very successful season. It did not end the way we wanted, but there is still so much to be proud of.”
Almanac all-stars do it all on gridiron
By Eleanor Bailey Almanac Sports Editor
Versatility ruled the gridiron in the South Hills this fall as players excelled at multiple positions. In fact, some of the standouts were such forces on both sides of the ball that they garnered all-conference acclaim in dual capacities. The trait also runs rampant among this year’s list of Almanac allstars, which were compiled with the cooperation of the area coaches.
After surveying the coaches in the readership region as well as considering final statistics and records along with games covered throughout the fall, the 2024 Almanac football all-stars were assembled for this edition.
Two-way lineman Nate Stohl from Upper St. Clair leads the list as MVP and was joined by several of his teammates. (Consult companion article for details.) Panther rivals, Peters Township and Bethel Park placed five individuals on the all-star list while Mt. Lebanon garnered three spots and South Fayette added one representative. The Indians curtailed USC’s march to a WPIAL championship. They handed the Panthers their first and only loss of the season, 7-3, and advanced to the Class 5A finals for the second year in a row. Peters Township finished runner-up, falling to Pine-Richland in the championship contest and posted an 11-2 overall record. The Indians were runners-up to USC in the Allegheny Six Conference.
The tandem of Nolan DiLucia and Nick McCullough
powered the high-scoring offense – the Indians averaged 30 points per game – while Mickey Vaccarello, Reston Lehman and Nick Courie anchored a defense that surrendered only 10 points per outing and recorded two shutouts. All five were first-team all-conference performers with Vaccarello and McCullough claiming honors on both offense and defense. Lehman added second-team recognition as a punter.
A three-year starter, DiLucia played in PT’s secondary all season while operating the offense. He entered the 6,000-yard passing club of which there are less than two dozen members. He also has rushed for 1,000 yards in his career. A junior, DiLucia ranked fourth in the WPIAL with 2,525 passing yards this fall. He completed 174 of 270 trials for 23 touchdowns. He rushed for 506 yards, a 5.5yard average, and added four more scores.
McCullough proved to be DiLucia’s top target. He had 54 receptions for 1,071 yards. He led the Indians in scoring with 102 points and with 17 touchdowns. He finished with 1,824 all-purpose yards. Defensively, he picked off six passes and had four tackles for losses. McCullough also returned
four kicks for touchdowns, including the decisive 97-yard score in PT’s win, 7-3, against USC. Lehman, Vaccarello and Courie anchors the PT defense from their linebacker slots. Vaccarello recorded eight sacks and 22 tackles for loss. He added two interceptions and scored two touchdowns
Stohl takes his talents to Princeton where he will be utilized on the offensive line. He is anxious to fill in anywhere he is needed. During the
Nolan
on defense. In two seasons, he amassed 21 sacks and 44 tackles for loss.
As a tight end on offense, Vaccarello managed two touchdowns.
Vaccarello, who plays basketball, has committed to Stanford. According to the Cardinal linebacker coach Bobby April, Vaccarello is “technically sound in coverage, taking on blocks and tackling. He has the athletic ability to play well in space and run through tackles.”
Nate Stohl has been named The Almanac MVP for his two-way efforts on the football field this fall for Upper St. Clair. The Princeton recruit led the Panthers to the Allegheny Six Conference championship and the WPIAL Class 5A semifinals before dropping their first game of the season. USC finished 11-1 overall.

DiLucia ranked third in the WPIAL in passing this fall. The Peters Township junior surpassed the 6,000-yard passing mark in his career as well as has accumulated 1,000 career rushing yards in leading Peters Township to the WPIAL Class 5A finals.

Nick McCullough led Peters Township with over 1,000 yards in receiving and scoring with 17 touchdowns.
Mickey Vaccarello anchored Peters Township’s defense. The senior is a Stanford recruit.
Reston Lehman
Lehman has been a two-way starter since his freshman year. The 6-4, 230-pound outside linebacker had four sacks, 11 tackles for loss, three interceptions, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.
A junior, Lehman is a four-star recruit. He has visited Maryland and has offers from Pitt, Penn State, Nebraska and Indiana among others.
Meanwhile, Moore managed to be the No. 4 rusher in the WPIAL with 2,084 yards on 285 carries and No. 3 in scoring with 196 points.
Moore averaged 7.3 yards per carry. He added 398 more yards on 26 receptions for an 18.8-yard average.
Moore led the Black Hawks in scoring with 32 touchdowns. He also tacked on four, 2-point conversions.
comes of games. For him to be firstteam defensive back speaks highly of his level of play.”
Because of his injury, Petras did not play defense. He saw limited action, not returning to the lineup until Oct. 11 against USC. Though played in six games, he added to his legacy.
A 5-9, 180-pound senior, Courie completed PT’s linebacking core. In addition to earning firstteam all-conference acclaim, he was a second team performer at running back. He led the Indians in rushing with 661 yards. He scored 14 touchdowns. He also averaged 6.3 yards per catch.
Courie is a standout lacrosse player that owns a 4.4 GPA.
Bethel Park put up impressive statistics in reaching the semifinals in the WPIAL Class 5A playoffs and posting a 10-3 record.
Tanner Pfeuffer and JaVaughn Moore were the headline makers while Clancy Orie and Mitch Paschl anchored a defense that allowed 16.3 points per game. Despite surgery for a torn labrum, Ryan Petras returned to all-state form and contributed to BP’s high-powered offense, a unit that produced 40.6 points on average.
“JaVaughn broke the single-season record at Bethel Park and that speaks volumes because there have been a lot of good ones to come through the program,” Peckich said. “He’s been pretty impressive. He’s a great kid, Quiet and reserved. His future is bright.”
Orie’s future includes an appointment to the Naval Academy where he will play defensive end for the Midshipmen, who recently upset Army.
The 6-3, 255-pound senior amassed 75 tackles, eight sacks, 12 tackles for loss, 14 quarterback hurries and forced two fumbles en route to all-conference honors on defense.
“Clancy really dominated games. He continued to do what he did as a junior but he impacted the game more,” Peckich said. “Opposing teams had to game plan for him. They tried to slow him down but he has too much athletic ability.”
He played in 38 games, amassing 1983 receiving yards, 1,260 rushing yards and more than 1,000 yards in returns. He scored 44 career touchdowns, 39 on offense and five on kick returns.
“Ryan’s such a dynamic player. Despite limited action, he broke all career receiving records. He’s been one of the better players for four years here,” Peckich said. “He’s a tremendous person and student-athlete.”
Petras, who has been a four-year starter on the baseball team as well, owns a 4.2 GPA. A two-time all-state performer, he is bound for Princeton next fall.
Although BP loses five standout seniors, Will Sabatos will be relied upon to carry the banner.
A 6-1, 185-pound sophomore, he garnered Almanac Rookie of the Year.
Sabatos was a first-team all-conference performer on defense, accumulating 43 tackles. He had one interception, one defensive touchdown, 2 tackles for loss and five pass break ups.
Pfeuffer concluded his standout high school football career as Bethel Park’s all-time passing leader, surpassing 6,000 passing yards. He finished the 2024 season with 2,656 yards and 31 touchdowns to rank second in the WPIAL, just 31 yards behind North Catholic’s Joey Feltitsky.
Of his two-year captain and threeyear starter, BP coach Phil Peckich said, “Tanner’s the most accomplished player in school history as far as statistics. He also was one of the top passers in the WPIAL. That speaks a lot to what a leader he was for us.”
Stohl
FROM PAGE B1
offseason, Stohl plans to have a “swift transition” to college football by getting faster and stronger while maintaining his physicality, IQ and motor for the game he loves.
Getting a degree propels
Stohl, not necessarily pursuing a NFL career. The 17-yearold son of Matthew and Carrie intends to earn a business degree. His main thought in picking Princeton has been the finality of football.
“It will end at some point so it’s silly not to get an Ivy League degree,” he has said. “So I am set up for after football.” Junko agreed, particularly with Stohl’s choice of Princeton over several other offers.
“Nate had a lot of opportunities to go to a lot of places for college,” Junko said. “He chose Princeton because he had an eye toward his future
Orie also excelled at tight end this fall. He had 15 receptions for 245 yards and three touchdowns.
Petras and Paschl, however, led the Black Hawks in receiving.
While Paschl had 39 grabs for 666 yards and 12 scores, Petras had 30 catches for 500 yards and six touchdowns.
Defensively, Paschl posted 42 solo tackles. He also had three interceptions.
“Mitch has a tremendous year on defense and on offense,” Peckich said. “He’s a tremendous athlete. An impact player. His interceptions and forced fumbles swayed the out-
after football. He is going to have a huge impact on that program on and off the field over the next four years.”
Stohl’s excellence on the line paved the way for several other Panthers to garner recognition, including his linemates Bobby Fleckenstein, Mason Geyer, Brock Gillespie, Austin Middleton and Michael Albert, who is also a Princeton recruit.
Fleckenstein and Geyer earned first-team all-conference honors at tackle and center on offense while Middleton was a first-team pick at tackle on defense. Fleckenstein and Gillespie were two-year starters for the Panthers, who
“Will played because Ryan was hurt and on the defensive side, he did a great job from Week Zero,” Peckich said. “We are excited about his future and the player he will become.”
At South Fayette and Mt. Lebanon, they are thrilled regarding the prospects of their respective quarterbacks Drew Welhorsky and Patrick Smith. Both earned first-team all-conference honors.
The latest in a long line of outstanding QBs at South Fayette, Welhorsky was a true dual-threat. He led the Lions in both rushing and passing.
Welhorsky threw for 1,695 yards and 14 touchdowns and rushed for 850 yards and 12
were 18-3 during that span.
“Brock was the best guard in the league beside Nate,” Junko said. “Bobby anchored our right side of the line.
“Austin led the team in tackles in some of our biggest games,” Junko added. “Pretty impressive when you are on the same line as Nate.”
A three-year starter, Albert provided a “strong, physical” presence on the defensive line. He collected 55 tackles and recorded three sacks.
USC ranked as the No. 2 defense in the WPIAL behind Clairton. Van Hellmann, Charlie Bywalski and Julian Dahlem were three reasons why the Panthers allowed
touchdowns. He even caught a TD pass.
Welhorsky, who is a standout lacrosse player, helped the Lions to six consecutive wins to start the season. South Fayette qualified for the Class 5A playoffs and finished the season at 6-5 overall.
The latest in a long line of Smiths, who excelled both offensively and defensively at Lebo, Patrick rushed for 1,100 yards and passed for 1,600. He scored 15 touchdowns.
A junior, Smith also started at linebacker for the Blue Devils, who reached the semifinals in the 6A playoffs.
Smith’s top target was Noah Schaerli. An all-conference, first-
just 9.2 points per game. All earned first-team all-conference accolades.
A linebacker, Van Hellmann compiled 154 career tackles, 41 this season. He led USC in fumble recoveries. “Toughest kid I have ever coached,” Junko said of Hellmann, who has been a twotime all-conference performer. He holds several Division I scholarship offers.
A two-year starter, Bywalski shut down some of the league’s top receivers, including Ryan Petras from Bethel Park and Nick McCullough from Peters Township. “They had very little production against Charlie,” Junko said.
team performer, he pulled in 66 receptions for 1.018 yards, both top numbers in Class 6A. He scored 11 touchdowns and added three interceptions on defense.
Grayson Beck completes the all-star list. The 6-2, 210-pound linebacker was a first-team all-conference performer. He led the Blue Devils in sacks. A 6-2, 210-pound junior, Beck has several Division I scholarship offers, including from Columbia and Kent State.
Bywalski picked off a teamhigh three passes at cornerback. He also was a capable receiver, averaging more than 15 yards per catch. He scored two touchdowns.
A three-year starter, Dahlem has been a first-team all-conference selection for all three of those seasons. As a cornerback, he had one Pick-6 and three tackles for loss. He also dominated on special teams and offense. He led USC in rushing with 1,126 yards, an average of 93.8 yards per game. He led the team in scoring as well with 14 touchdowns.
Jacob Echeverria rounds out USC’s list of all-stars. He earned first-team all-confer-
ence recognition as a placekicker and a punter. He converted 47 PAT and kicked eight field goals to finish with 71 points. He averaged 40.3 yards per punt.
A junior, Echeverria is receiving Power 4 Division I interest from Penn St., Georgia, Ohio State, and West Virginia. Junko gained conference as well as Almanac Coach of the Year accolades. USC won 10 straight games that included a conference banner before falling to rival Peters Township, 7-3, in the WPIAL Class 5A semifinals because of several other key players. All were named to the Almanac All-Star roster.

Getting into the rhythm
WROC offers cardio drumming class
By Jill Thurston Staff writer
jthurston@observer-reporter.com
Some unlikely items add up to a calorie-burning, cadence-keeping good time at Westminster Presbyterian Church’s Recreation and Outreach center (WROC). Cardio drumming was introduced last year at the WROC. Class members use an exercise ball placed on a stand (often a circular laundry basket) and “drum” using two rhythm sticks, or actual drum sticks, matching the instructor’s routine set to upbeat music.
Bonnie Vello, 76, of Peters Township, was hesitant to try the first session, but now she’s a regular who looks forward to class each Friday at 2:30 p.m.
“I sing his praises all week. He’s a motivator,” Vello said of the instructor, Eric Horton. Horton, with All Star Therapies, is a physical therapist specializing in neurological disorders and Parkinson’s Disease. All Star Therapies developed its brand of cardio drumming called All Star Drumming.
The hour-long class is set to a variety of music that makes it easy to keep the beat. Horton calls out the moves, which can be modified for ability and even done from a sitting position.
Debbie Walker of Fayette hadn’t heard of the class before receiving an email and decided to try it. “It’s challenging, and I burn the most calories in this class.”
Classes at the WROC are designed to support all aspects of wellness.
The goal is to “bring people together and develop their faith through recreational activities. It’s a non-threatening environment where people can gather,” according to Kathy Long, WROC director.
Class members George and Heather Perinis, ages 84 and 68, of Mt. Lebanon, joined because they both enjoy the exercise combined with the percussion element.
“Aside from physical benefits, the (drumming) class releases endorphins, the ‘happy hormones,’” said Long.
“The endorphins help relieve and reduce stress and improve your health. If you

“The people are really friendly,” Vello said. “You get a workout, but you are so uplifted by the class. And the music is great.”
Horton brings his high energy, gets into the groove (he actually uses vinyl sticks after breaking several sets of wooden sticks) and even sings a line or two.
