Photos, stories and scores from the 12th week of the high school football season
It was a Friday some may never forget.
Bellefonte won its first district championship since 1999 in a season punctuated by firsts and making history. State College also kept it rolling with its four straight playoff berth with a victory in the subregional.
As always, you can find scores around the state and highlights below, along with links to our game stories. In addition, at the very bottom is a photo gallery from the Bellefonte and State College games.
Bellefonte 34, Johnstown 12 (FINAL)
What happened: Improbable. Unlikely. Impossible. A few months ago, no one would’ve ever expected this kind of run for the Red Raiders — especially after an injury to its starting quarterback. But there’s been nothing usual about this team. It’s made history seemingly every other week, and that all came to a head Friday night. The Red Raiders are district champs. Said senior Stephen Kutches: “It wasn’t expected three months ago. Even years ago, we never thought we’d come and do this. It’s amazing.”
State College 48, Erie 12 (FINAL)
What happened: The Little Lions’ passing game was on, and the Erie Royals could get very little going on the offensive side of the ball. Said State College coach Matt Lintal: “If you told me before the game we would’ve given up 12 points, I would’ve taken that in a heartbeat.” Tommy Friberg and Brandon Clark dominated.
