Cooking for a cause
Rotary clubs serve up comfort food to benefit charities this fall

Chili and barbecued chicken
will be on the menu this fall for two area Rotary clubs raising money for local charities.
For each group, planning for the fundraisers begins months in advance.
“Once we know the Steelers schedule, we can pick the date,” said Joe Verduci, co-chair for the South Fayette-Bridgeville Rotary Club Chili Cookoff, now in its 18th year. The Steeler schedule is released in the spring, when the Rotary reserves the pavilion at Fairview Park in Bridgeville for the popular event that he said draws between 600 and 800 attendees.
This year, the cookoff will be held on Saturday, Oct. 19, from noon to 4 p.m. Tickets are $10. For Brian Schill, club service director for the Rotary of Upper St. Clair-Bethel Park, Breakfast Club, finding the chairperson is the vital first step followed by the date. “Fortunately, the two chairs from last year are serving again as chairs, Sally Morrison and Theresa Kozleuchar,” said Schill. “They have 32 people (volunteers) to corral to make this happen.”

Labriola’s Italian Markets plans new location for North Strabane
By Jon Andreassi Staff writer
A family-owned Italian market that has long been a staple of the Pittsburgh region is planning a new location in North Strabane Township. Leonard Labriola’s Italian Markets will open a fourth location at the site of the former Kings Family Restaurant at 580 McClelland Road.
Owner Leonard Labriola said they are still early in the process, and are looking to open by next spring.
“I always told my children … I always wanted to put a
store in the South Hills. I think that is a very great area,” Labriola said last month. “This came about in April. I was brought to that site. Oh, my goodness, how could this be available? And it was. It’s a terrific spot. It’s a terrific retail opportunity.” According to Washington County property records, Labriola’s purchased the McClelland Road property on Sept. 4 for $2,725,000. Labriola’s currently has locations in Aspinwall, Monroeville and Warrendale. A nowclosed location in Penn Hills is still used as a warehouse and kitchen. Their markets offer
a wide selection of cheeses, deli meats, pasta, homemade sauces, bread and desserts. They also sell prepared meals and homemade soup.
“We sell anything that you can think of in an Italian product,” Labriola said. In Aspinwall, there is also the Labriola Winery. Labriola said the North Strabane location will also sell its selection of wines.
Labriola said his father, Leonard Labriola Sr., opened the first store in 1929 on Larimer Avenue in Pittsburgh’s East Liberty neighborhood.

Peters Township school board appoints new superintendent
By Jon Andreassi Staff writer jandreassi@observer-reporter.com
The current deputy superintendent of Peters Township School District will take over as the superintendent next school year.
The board of school directors voted 8-1 at a special meeting Monday to name Dr. Jennifer Murphy as the superintendent on a three-year contract. Alexandra Binsse was the dissenting vote.
The decision came after Dr. Jeannine French announced over the summer her intention to retire at the end of this school year.
“I’m really humbled by this opportunity and overwhelmed by the positive outpouring I’ve received from the community, staff, parents and board members,” Murphy said in an interview Wednesday.
Murphy will step into the role next July, and will receive an annual salary of $225,000.
She has been with Peters Township School District since 2013 and has served as assistant and deputy superintendent. She previously worked in Pittsburgh Public Schools as a teacher, assistant principal and principal.
“Dr. Murphy is a proven, student-centered leader
whose thorough knowledge of our schools and community will ensure a smooth and successful transition,” said Rebecca Bowman, president of the board of school directors, in a press release. “Her record of partnership with families, staff, and administrators, built over more than a decade in Peters Township, positions the district to build on our strengths and reach new goals.”
Binsse did not respond to an email seeking comment regarding her vote against hiring Murphy.
Going forward, Murphy said that the rise of artificial intelligence will be among the biggest challenges facing the district and education as a whole.
“How do we use it, and how do we teach students to use it ethically?” Murphy said.
She added that the district is also committed to make sure its schools remain a safe place for students to receive an education.
“We always have a lens on school safety, making sure we are maintaining the safest learning environment for our students, staff and teachers,” Murphy said.
She credited her predecessor for helping her prepare to take the next step as the district’s leader.
“I felt like I was prepared to do so because Dr. French is an amazing mentor, and it has been a great opportunity to work with her and the entire team for the past decade plus,” Murphy said.

Sally’s Sanctuary to serve homeless women, children in crisis
By Karen Mansfield Staff writer kmansfield@observer-reporter.com
A new chapter is beginning for women and children in crisis as City Mission prepares to open Sally’s Sanctuary, an $8.3 million shelter designed to provide safety, stability and dignity to homeless women.
The skies were cloudy, but rain held off until after the Sept. 24 ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening of the new facility on South Franklin Street. The shelter, which is scheduled to open in October, will house up to 50 women.
“I’m deeply overwhelmed with gratitude to each of you who played a vital role in making this building a reality and helping us to meet the needs of the most vulnerable in our community,” City Mission Executive Director and CEO Diana Irey Vaughan told the more than 150 people who gathered outside of Sally’s Sanctuary. “I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the many donors, many of you who are here today, whose generosity made this project possible. Your sacrifice and commitment have turned a vision into a sanctuary of hope.”
The project took more than two years to complete, and was funded - 100% - through a mix of donations and grants from businesses, churches, the Washington County LSA, individuals, and others.
Irey Vaughan also raised funds for Sally’s Sanctuary by running half-marathons and marathons over the past few years.
Sally’s Sanctuary features three floors and includes multiple suites, an emergency shelter, laundry rooms, common areas, office space, and a large child care center. Each room has been designed to make sure women
feel emotionally and physically safe, and every bed in the shelter is covered by a quilt made by a group of volunteer quilters led by Canonsburg resident Wendy Hopwood.
Irey Vaughan called the quilts “gifts that will wrap each woman in warmth, comfort and love, and that’s what we hope for at Sally’s Sanctuary.”
The new shelter was named in honor of Dr. Sally Mounts, the mission’s former chief development officer who retired in 2024 and worked tirelessly to fundraise for the nonprofit. Mounts said the city of Washington has stepped up to help the homeless community.
thing to get together in those meetings.
In the afternoon meetings especially, people end up staying longer to catch up for another hour,” Verduci said of the chili cookoff event planning.
The food is served up hot to ticket holders on the day of each event.
Volunteers cook the gallons of chili for the Bridgeville-South Fayette fundraiser.
“We ask volunteers to each cook five gallons of chili, and if they want to compete, we have four separate categories: restaurants, business, personal and nonprofit,” said Verduci. Last year 35 booths offered up chili selections. Verduci is hoping for 40 chili options this year.
“We buy between 25,000 and 30,000 chili cups and spoons. We don’t want to run out,” Verduci said. A concession stand offering hotdogs will be available for the non-chili crowd, and for the kids, a bounce house, balloon maker and face painting.
It’s a drive-thru only event for the Rotary of Upper St. Clair-Bethel club’s chicken BBQ. The club purchases chickens from Weiss Meats, which are then prepared at Bethel Park High School by the nutrition staff the day of the event.
With the help of the nutrition staff at Bethel Park High school, the chickens are baked on site. “We put them in the pans and they bake them and make sure we stay out of trouble,” said Schill.
Meals include a half BBQ’d chicken, baked beans, coleslaw, dinner roll and dessert. Last year, 2,300 meals were prepared. Proceeds from both fundraisers are donated to local charities and organizations.
One of two large fundraisers for the Bridgeville-South Fayette Rotary club, Verducci said the chili cookoff has
raised between $12,000 and $13,000 the last few years. The club also holds a trivia night fundraiser in the spring.
Verduci said the funds are always used to support the Bridgeville Area Food Bank in various ways including their back to school program and Christmas toy efforts, as well as other needs for organizations such as the local EMS and the Bridgeville Public Library.
The Upper St. Clair-Bethel Park, Breakfast Club’s effort raised $65,000 in 2024, the largest amount ever for the event. Funds were awarded to 36 charities during the Night of Giving celebration held in April, including efforts to support domestic violence victims, camps for special needs individuals, trail maintenance, fallen veterans and their families and others.
Tickets for the chicken BBQ can be purchased at www.chixbbq.org. Tickets for the chili cookoff are available at www.bridgeville-sfrotary.org/. Interested sponsors should contact the Rotary Club.
To launch a project like Sally’s Sanctuary, said Mounts, communities should “plant your campaign smack dab in the middle of a region of people that have a proven history of charitable generosity.”
“Since 1941, churches, corporations, civic groups, local government, grant makers and literally tens of thousands of individuals have taken such good care of their homeless brothers and sisters, and a lot of you are sitting here today,” said Mounts. “Today, you can walk from Washington hospital on North Main Street all the way down to the end of Canonsburg and not see one
homeless tent or cardboard box. In fact, if someone planted a homeless tent in front of the Trust Building, in the space of about half an hour, 50 people would stop, open the tent flap and say, ‘Get yourself down to City Mission,’ or even ‘Come on, I’ll walk you down.’”
“So few places in America take care of and reintegrate their homeless neighbors back into the community like Washington County does, and the evidence of the Mission’s success of transforming lives is everywhere in this county,” Mounts said.
Walt Turner, a City Mission board member and the campaign chair who spearheaded fundraising efforts for the facility, said Sally’s Sanctuary is “a much-needed resource for the local area.”
Nationwide, from 2023 to 2024, there was a 26% increase in sheltered homeless women, which contributed to record-high homelessness numbers across the United States.
City Mission has been tracking a rising need among women in the community over the past few years. A needs assessment study conducted in 2022 found that local business owners, human services employees, and pub-
lic officials identified a new women’s shelter as one of the most pressing needs in the Washington area.
Sally’s Sanctuary is the Mission’s response to that need.
“Homelessness is a growing problem, and the only way to fight against it is for the whole community to stand together.
With Sally’s Sanctuary, we saw businesses, foundations, churches, financial institutions, and individuals from all walks of life embrace this project for the good of the community,” said Turner. “This big, beautiful building is going to save lives.” At the end of the ribbon cutting, pastors and faith leaders from Washington County laid hands on the building during a prayer dedication. Tours of Sally’s Sanctuary followed.
The City Mission has operated for more than 84 years, and the opening of Sally’s Sanctuary increases the Mission’s capacity to 209 beds in four shelters that house men, women, women with children, and veterans. City Mission’s programs address short-term needs including food and shelter, and long-term needs such as drug and alcohol counseling, mental health and medical treatment, legal aid, and employment training.
Pennsylvania joins nine other states to form health coalition
By Karen Mansfield Staff writer kmansfield@observer-reporter.com
Pennsylvania has joined a coalition of northeastern states in an effort to develop public health and immunization guidelines amid concerns about changes at the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
After months of informal talks, 10 Northeastern states, including Pennsylvania, announced in a press release Sept. 18 the formation of a bloc called the Northeast Public Health Collaborative that will issue vaccine guidance and coordinate public health efforts independent of the federal government.
Historically, almost all U.S. states, including Pennsylvania, have accepted immunization guidance from the CDC. But changes at the agency under President Donald Trump and U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., including the firing of its director, have shaken the trust of many public health experts.
The states include Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts, Maine, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, Maryland, Vermont, and Delaware.
Pennsylvania Department of Health Secretary Dr. Debra Bogen said, “Protecting public health has always been a collaborative effort. Continuing to work with public health experts in other states allows the exchange of best practices, pursuit of efficiencies, and opportunities for collaboration to better meet the needs of Pennsylvanians.”
Representatives from several of the states had met in person in Rhode Island in August for discussions. The group said it will meet regularly to collaborate on vaccine recommendations, data collection, and emergency preparedness, among other health efforts. The East Coast states are
looking to coordinate vaccine recommendations because of changing guidance from federal health officials.
Earlier this month, the Pennsylvania State Board of Pharmacy, which is responsible for determining when and to whom Pennsylvania pharmacists can administer vaccines, also voted to accept immunization recommendations from non-government health organizations like the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, along with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
That decision effectively allowed them to bypass guidance from the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practice, amid concerns the group has become politicized.
The Trump administration has tried to fire roughly 10,000 Health and Human Services employees, including 2,400 at the CDC. Many of those firings were halted in court, though. Those fired include CDC Director Susan Monarez, whose layoff prompted four top CDC officials to resign in protest.
Under the leadership of Kennedy, a longtime proponent of antivaccine views, the CDC is no longer recommending COVID-19 vaccines for healthy children or pregnant women. Kennedy fired 17 members of the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee and replaced many of them with members who have voiced concerns about the safety and efficacy of vaccines, in a break from scientific consensus. And he cut roughly $500 million from a series of mRNA vaccine research projects. On Sept. 18, the Northeast collaborative made its first recommendations, which depart from Kennedy’s recent changes to CDC guidelines in that they recommend the COVID-19 vaccine for healthy children 6 months to 2 years old and pregnant women. For children ages 2 to 18, they
recommend weighing a child’s risk level for COVID-19. That’s consistent with what national medical organizations such as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians recommend. Dr. Puthiery Va, director of the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention, in a statement, called the group “an incubator for solutions in public health,” adding that Mainers are “known for their resilience, neighborly support, and a collaborative approach to solving community challenges.”
The Northeast Public Health Collaborative is now one of two such health blocs. Earlier this month, four Western states –California, Oregon, Washington, and Hawaii – banded together to create the West Coast Health Alliance.
On Sept. 17, the West Coast Health Alliance issued its first set of recommendations. The group also recommends the COVID-19 vaccine for healthy children 6 months to 2 years old and pregnant women. And for children aged 2 to 18, they also recommend weighing a child’s risk level for COVID-19.
“Whether it’s responding to a pandemic or an outbreak or preparing for a large-scale event such as the upcoming FIFA World Cup, with three host cities in the Northeast, working together helps keep our residents safe and healthy,” New Jersey Acting Health Commissioner Jeff Brown said in the release. “We look forward to continuing to do so with our colleagues in the Collaborative.” Kennedy, however, maintains the Department of Health and Human Services “is putting the restoration of public trust above any pro- or antivaccine agenda. The public must know that unbiased science guides the recommendations from our health agencies. This will ensure the American people receive the safest vaccines possible.”

Nearly a century later Labriola’s multiple locations continue to be owned and operated by the Labriola family.
“Mom and Dad gave us a good start,” Labriola said.
North Strabane Township Manager Andy Walz said the McClelland Road property is zoned to allow a business like Labriola’s to operate by right, so a conditional use application would not be necessary.
However, any alterations Labriola’s may plan to make to the building will require a building permit. Labriola’s has not yet filed an application for a building permit.
“We have met with them,” Walz said. “We have not received any official applications.”
According to Labriola, the building that housed Kings will remain, but the interior will be remodeled to fit their needs.
“We’re keeping the four walls. The interior will be demolished, and then we’ll put our footprint there. We’re not expanding it, we’re using the four walls,” Labriola said.

South Hills Showdown
USC hosts Bethel Park
By Eleanor Bailey Almanac Sports Editor ebailey@thealmanac.net
The Allegheny Six Conference serves up another football game that is expected to be hotly contested when Upper St. Clair hosts Bethel Park at 7 p.m. Oct. 10.
“It’s a game that is always circled,” said BP skipper Phil Peckich. “First and foremost it’s a rivalry because it’s a conference game and because of the nature of the distances between the two schools. Plus, these kids grow up playing against each other.”
USC head coach Mike Junko understands the reasoning. His Panthers are accustomed to handling the hype.
“It seems like everybody in our conference sets their countdown clocks and circles the USC game on their calendar,” he said. “For that reason, we never try to make our season about one game.
“Our kids understand that there is always a target on our backs. It is a testament to what we have been able to build over here and I think it has always been that way. It is a part of playing football for Upper St. Clair. When you are in that environment every week, it makes you a better football team.”
The Panther, who have won seven WPIAL championships and two PIAA crowns but none since 2006, had been the better team against all of its non-conference opponents this fall. However, they dropped their Allegheny Six opener on Sept. 26 against Peters Township, 24-20.
The game was a back-andforth, nail-biter until the final seconds of action when the Indians stopped the Panthers less than 10 yards from the end zone.
“Our kids showed a great deal of resiliency,” Junko said. “As a head coach you want your team to handle adversity and stick together in those tough moments.
“There were a number of times our kids could have given up in that game, but they showed a great deal of fight and tenacity. The outcome was not what we wanted, but we learned a lot about the character and grit we have on this football team. That game gave us a treasure trove of lessons that we can draw from as a team moving forward.”
The Panthers learned they could count on Ethan Hell-
does an incredible job and Junko puts him in position to be successful,” Peckich said. “Anytime you have a four-year starter at this level, it says a lot about you as an athlete, a player and a leader.
“What we have to do is keep the ball in front of us and make him make that second and third read. Peters Township did a great job of that.”
Bethel Park has an equally efficient signal caller in Evan Devine. Though only in his first full season as a starter because the senior played three years behind Tanner Pfeuffer (more than 6,000 career yards), Devine ranks seventh in the WPIAL in passing with 1,231 yards. He has completed 72 of 121 attempts for 1,231 yards and 11 scores.
Peters Township visits South Fayette
By Eleanor Bailey Almanac Sports Editor ebailey@thealmanac.net
After back-to-back home conference contests, Peters Township takes to the road for its final three games on the 2025 regular-season schedule. The journey begins with a 7 p.m. Oct. 10 kickoff at South Fayette and follows with frays at Baldwin (Oct. 17) and Bethel Park (Oct. 24) before the WPIAL Class 5A tournament commences on Halloween.
6:09 left in the third quarter. Lucas Rost (3 catches for 48 yards), Jeremy Poletti and Allen Kubina also had receptions for the Indians.
mann no matter what. Hellmann, who suffered a tick bite during the summer and developed Lyme’s Disease, suffered a relapse before the Peters Township game. He played, however, and submitted one of the finest performances of his career.
Hellmann completed 24 passes for 308 yards and two touchdowns – a 5-yard scoring strike to Randy Yan and a 40-yard TD target to Nico D’Orazio, who is the team’s leading receiver along with Bryce Jones.
“It was one of the gutsiest performances I have seen out of any quarterback that has ever played for me,” Junko
said. “People in the stands probably had no idea that he was a game-time decision and we had contingency plans in case he couldn’t play. Our guys rallied around him and he certainly had a performance for the ages.”
Hellmann is having a season that is already one of the best in program history. For the past few weeks, he has led the WPIAL in passing with 92 completions on 127 attempts for 1,581 yards. He has thrown 20 touchdown passes against only one interception.
“What jumps out at you is that, whether they like it or not, statistically they are a passing team and Hellmann
In a last-second loss to Moon, 23-20, Devine completed 14 of 24 passes for 237 yards, 66 of them to Santino Nowozeniuk. Devine rushed for the tying touchdown before Moon connected on the game-winning field goal in the final 13 seconds of play, a 36-yarder by Evan Senkevich.
“Evan does a good job, especially of protecting the ball,” said Peckich. “He keeps us in games and understands what we ask him to do. He is reserved and uses his creativity on offense to the best advantage for the team possible. He steps up and makes plays.”
Peckich pointed out the Black Hawks boast a balanced attack. In the loss to the Tigers, they recovered from a 14-0 deficit and rushed for all scores. David Dennison and Will Sabatos joined Devine in the end zone by using their feet.

The Indians, who are ranked No. 2 in the district, took a step toward claiming the Allegheny Six Conference title when they unseated Upper St. Clair in dramatic fashion on Sept. 26 at Confluence Financial Partners Stadium.
The Peters Township defense got the stop it needed in the final seconds of play and Nolan DiLucia paced the offense in the 24-20 triumph against the Panthers.
Nolan DiLucia, who has thrown for more than 7,000 career yards, completed 15 of 22 attempts for 277 yards. The Villanova recruit also tossed two touchdown passes.
P.J. Luke and Lucas Shanafelt were DiLucia’s top targets finishing with 73 and 71 yards in receptions and one score each.

Cole Neupaver was the leading ground gainer. Neupaver, who had three catches for 43 yards, rolled up 123 yards rushing on 30 carries. He scored the game-winning touchdown on a 4-yard run with 10:29 to play in the game. The defense, which has allowed just 7.6 points per game and has recorded three shutouts this season, was led by DiLucia with six total tackles, five of them solo. Rost and Luke followed with five solos each while Neupaver and Reston Lehman supplied four tackles each. Shanafelt had a fumble recovery. Meanwhile, the Lions are coming off a 49-13 win against Baldwin.
Drew Welhorsky completed 3 of 5 passes for 113 yards, 38 coming off a scoring strike to Daniel Speca.
South Fayette rushed for three scores, including touchdowns by Aayden Wright (49 yards), Bo Stover (7 yards) and Braedon Plasko (1 yard). Tyson Wright had a Pick6 and Anthony Charles returned a fumble 23 yards for another defensive score. Teagen Cahill and Logan Dedes hooked up for the final touchdown on a 43-yard pass. Luke Gillen kicked the extra points for the Lions.
Crunch time: CV embroiled into critical stretch run
By Eleanor Bailey Almanac Sports Editor
ebailey@thealmanac.net
Positive things have happened under Steve Spence’s leadership as Chartiers Valley High School football coach. In his first season at the helm, the Colts were 5-1 after whipping Laurel Highlands, 62-7, back on Sept. 26. CV also sat atop the Big Six Conference standings and were ranked among the Top 5 teams in Class 4A of the WPIAL heading into their clash on Oct. 3 at home against Belle Vernon, which uncharacteristically was 1-4 at the halfway point in the 2025 campaign.
“I am definitely proud of this group and how the guys have worked and prepared every week,” said Spence. “They have done a good job of putting themselves in position to compete in big games down the stretch.”
In addition to the Leopards, the stretch run includes this Friday’s visit to Trinity before entertaining No. 3 Thomas Jefferson at 7 p.m. Oct. 17. The Colts host Ringgold on Oct. 24 in the regular-season finale.
“Our last games are huge challenges against traditionally tough and respected programs that have been there
before,” Spence said. “I am sure we are considered underdogs but we go into the games telling our kids the same message: ‘Do little things right every day and prepare the same way.’ If you play to the best of our abilities, you will be able to go out and compete.’”
In their strong showing against Laurel Highlands, the Colts did exactly that. Against the Mustangs, Luke Miranda completed 9 of 10 passes for 199 yards and three touchdowns. Tayshaun Lewis rolled up 175 yards and two scores on seven carries.
Eight different players scored and the Colts received “big receptions” from everybody. Additionally, Julius Best had a TD grab to go along with an interception on defense. Jack Czarnecki and Damien Holloway pulled in scoring strikes. Luke Rosswog, Mike Lawrence, Zach Efthimiades and Seth McCabe also had touchdowns.
“We played well. We came out and played hard and were sharp from the start,” Spence said. “We also were able to take advantage of things that went wrong for them.”
Spence is aware of how quickly things can spiral out of control because last year the Colts were riding high after a blowout of the Mustangs. CV
proceeded to lose its final four conference clashes, all by big decisions. The slide started with a 68-21 debacle against Belle Vernon.
“They routed us at their place,” Spence said. He also noted that the Leopards’ 1-4 start was “not a reflection of the team they are” because of their pre-conference slate. “It was a brutal schedule,” he said of South Fayette, McKeesport and Central Valley before a clash with TJ.
“Belle Vernon is a very good team. Physical and an outstanding defense,” Spence said.
The Leopards were a “good test” for the Colts and prepared them for this week’s battle at Trinity, which ironically is coached by one-time CV skipper Dan Knause.
Spence said that he has a “lot of respect” for the Trinity program because the Hillers have sent quality players to Washington & Jefferson College, where he coached for 15 seasons before taking the position at CV. Spence also recognized Jonah Williamson. The Hiller quarterback ranks among the top passers in the WPIAL with 12 scoring strikes and 682 yards off 47 of 73 aerials.
“Trinity is as good as a team we’ve seen in Class 4A,” Spen-
Steve Spence has a discussion with his Chartiers Valley football players during a timeout in the action. In his first season at the helm, Spence has the Colts primed to make a bid for a playoff spot.

ce said. “They also have played one of the hardest schedules so far this season and that’s prepared them to play deep into the season and the playoffs. They have an outstanding quarterback and are extremely well-coached.”
CV’s opponent after Trinity is guided by one of the best
in the WPIAL. Bill Cherpak ranks No. 1 among WPIAL coaches with 10 district titles.
He led TJ to the Big Six Conference championship as well as the Class 4A title last year.
The Jaguars were PIAA semifinalists in 2024.
“People say TJ is down this year but 99.9 percent of the
teams in the WPIAL would take their down year,” Spence said.
“TJ is the standard of excellence. There’s a very good reason (Cherpak) is a legendary coach. He’s done incredible things. There is no bigger test for any team than playing against his teams.”

“No matter what the records are, it is always a competitive game,” Peckich said.
Additionally, Dennison ranks as the No. 2 rusher in the WPIAL with 978 yards on 143 carries for a 6.8 average. He also ranks fifth in scoring with 15 touchdowns.
“Their quarterback and running back are both in the top 10 in the WPIAL in their respective categories,” Junko said. “I don’t think people realize how rare that is to have on one football team.”
“Since I have been here, they won on a blocked field goal. We beat them in conference but they won in the semifinals when our roster was depleted. We knocked them out of the playoffs the following season and last year we had the lead and they made a play.”
Junko credits Peckich and his staff for “retooling” the offense after Pfeuffer matriculated to Frostburg and All-state performer Ryan Petras went to Duquesne and 2,000-yard rusher JaVaughn Miller moved on to Robert Morris University.
“In this league, which is a passing league, you can win games in unorthodox ways but you have to be balanced,” Peckich continued. “In October and in November, when the weather is unpredictable, you can’t always be putting the ball in the air.”
Both coaches agree the contest will be physical in nature and strength as well as might will determine the outcome.
“In many ways they are more explosive offensively than they were last season,” Junko said. “They do a great job of putting stress on the defense.”
“The line of scrimmage is so important,” Peckich said. “The most physical team wins the game.”
Defense has been USC’s bread and butter as opposed to offense. While the Panthers do manage 38.5 points per game, they allow just 10.1 an outing. As a result, expectations are for a defensive struggle, decided in the late moments of the game.
Defensively the Panthers have their hands full.
“You really have to pick your poison with their attack,” he said. “I have not seen anyone have a lot of success slowing them down. Even in the games they have lost, they still have found ways to run it and throw it.”
with Carter Bonner, who has scholarship offers from Pitt, Penn State and West Virginia among others.
“Penn Hills has two power four wide receivers so we need to control the ball and keep their offense off the field. They also have a solid group of linemen,” added Perry. “We will have to be at our best to get a win.”
The Blue Devils displayed some of the best work this season when they defeated Seneca Valley, 41-20, for their first conference victory.
Patrick Smith dominated the action. The Penn recruit rushed for 124 yards and four scores of 5, 15, 1 and 55 yards. The senior signal caller also completed 12 of 19 passes for 257 yards and a scoring strike of 31 yards to Joe Malone.
“Patrick has a really good game passing, and of course, rushing,” Perry said. Perry added that he was also pleased with the “solid defensive play” of Jackson Steiner and Kris Kambitsis. Additionally, Colin Kramer caught four passes for 91 yards and Sam McAuley added a 5-yard TD run.
“It was good to get a win for the seniors on our team,” Perry said. “Their efforts and resilience speaks to the type of kids we have.”
The Blue Devils return to conference action with a home game against Hempfield on Oct. 17 and another road trip to Norwin on Oct. 24. Both contests kick off at 7 p.m.

CRUISE FOR A CAUSE
Bethel Park event raises $9,000 for St.
By Eleanor Bailey Almanac Staff Writer

Car enthusiasts from around the region took advantage of a summer-like autumn afternoon to view classic and vintage automobiles as well as raise money for a good cause when they attended the #Garystrong Memorial Car Cruise.
Held Sept. 27 in the upper parking lot of the Highpoint Fitness facility on Higbee Road in Bethel Park, the event raised $9,000 for the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The charity was favored by Gary Carmen, who at 61 passed away in 2023, a victim

of Sarcoma cancer. Edda Sheatsley attended the event with her husband, Mark, who attended Bethel Park High School with Carmen.
“I love this event. It’s so sweet that everybody comes here to look at the cars and remember Carmen,” she said. “It makes us feel like he is still here with us.”
The annual event has expanded in its third year. Not only did it include a plethora of motor vehicles, including trucks, it featured a bounce house as well as a swim party for children inside the adjacent fitness facility. Additionally, there were food vendors
as well as raffle prizes and a Chinese auction.
John Carberry coordinated the event with Jim Gastjeb, who runs the Rev ’Em Up For Kids car cruise held annually over the Labor Day weekend in South Park.
“It has something for everyone. We’ve had a strong turnout and a lot of support from the community and that’s what counts,” Carberry said
Gastjeb added, “It really has developed into so much more, but the cars still are the focus.”
Debbie and Gary Martin from Bethel Park agreed.
“We do enjoy car cruises,” they said as they looked over
