HERSHEY — Two long fumble returns for touchdowns were part of a record-setting performance Saturday night for North Allegheny in a 63-28 victory over Coatesville in the PIAA Class AAAA championship at Hersheypark Stadium.
The Tigers‘ 63 points were the most scored in a PIAA championship, and it‘s fitting that their defense played a significant role.
Brendan Coniker returned a fumble 80 yards, and Kevin Edwards returned another 52, accounting for two of the Tigers‘ four first-quarter touchdowns. The 28 points were the most scored by one team in the first quarter of a PIAA final.
NA also became just the second Quad-A program to win multiple PIAA titles in a three-year span. Central Bucks West won three in a row from 1997-99.
“If you want to be remembered as one of the greatest of all time, you have to finish,” NA coach Art Walker said. “I don‘t think there‘s any question with this group of seniors that they‘ve got to be mentioned as one of the greatest of all time.”
