McKeesport vs. Central Catholic
The other semifinal game matches two teams familiar with each other. McKeesport (10-1) and Central Catholic (11-0) met in last year's quarterfinals, and they also have squared off in a preseason scrimmage the past few years. They meet again tonight at West Mifflin.
McKeesport's defense has showed some holes in a few games this season, giving up 21 points or more four times in the past six games. Now, McKeesport faces a Central Catholic team that leads WPIAL Class AAAA in scoring, averaging 43 points a game.
Central Catholic quarterback Tino Sunseri has a hot hand. In two playoff games, he has completed 20 of 24 for 305 yards and five touchdowns.
"We struggled defensively against Norwin," said McKeesport coach George Smith. "We gave them too many opportunities and they made some big plays. We have to do better than that against Central. I think we are going to have to play an almost perfect game."
