Seven Starters From Jeannette Football Team Lead Jayhawks to State Basketball Championship


The nation's top high school football recruit Terrelle Pryor has another Pennsylvania state championship gold medal to hang around his next.

Saturday, Pryor and six of his football teammates led Jeannette to a 76-72 overtime victory over Philadelphia Strawberry Mansion and the PIAA Class 2A state basketball championship.

Pryor scored 23 points in the victory for the Jayhawks, who became the first school in the very powerful WPIAL to ever win state football and basketball championships in the same year. Jeannette (25-4) used only seven players in the game, and all seven were starters on the football team.
