To say it rained for the duration of the Greater Latrobe at Thomas Jefferson WPIAL quarterfinal playoff game, would be a disservice to mother nature.
The Ligonier Valley Rams playoff run came to an end Friday at Blackhawk High School 52-0 falling to Beaver Falls on a rain-soaked night.
The Ligonier Valley Rams mantra as they have entered the WPIAL Class 2A playoffs has been “why not us?”
The last time the Greater Latrobe Wildcats won a postseason contest, Lyndon B. Johnson was the U.S. president, the Beatles were two years away from breaking up and a Big Mac cost 49 cents.
The Ligonier Valley Rams were relentless in every sense of the word Friday in securing the school’s very first WPIAL playoff victory against the Western Beaver Golden Beavers 27-20 Friday at Greensburg Salem.
Greater Latrobe head coach Ron Prady experienced plenty of playoff success during his time as an assistant at Penn-Trafford. At this time a year ago, he and the Warriors were set to embark on a postseason run that culminated with WPIAL and state titles.
With the Wildcats’ place in the postseason already secured with a trip to Highlands High School on Nov. 4 to face Highlands in the opening round of the WPIAL Class 4A football playoffs, Friday’s exhibition matchup against Butler Area served as a close to the regular season, a palate cleanser after the 54-14 loss to McKeesport and a chance to honor the team’s seniors.
They started claiming their spots on Thursday.
The pregame hype surrounding some football games can often lead to the game itself being a letdown.
Well, if there is any good news to come out of Greater Latrobe’s 54-14 shellacking by the No. 2-ranked McKeesport (9-0, 6-0) at Memorial Stadium Friday, it was that Thomas Jefferson was at its home offering the Connellsville a similar thumping.
