Jared Hartman, Belle Vernon’s dynamic quarterback/linebacker, a stocky, 6-foot-1, 210-pound rock, typically prefers to not take credit for much of the Leopards’ success this year without insisting that his teammates join in spotlight.

Friday night at Greensburg Salem, following a 43-3 rout of the Golden Lions, was no different.

Hartman, a senior, passed for 254 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Leopards (4-1, 3-1) to their consecutive WPIAL Class 4A Big East Conference victory at Offutt Field.

“My O-line comes with me,” Hartman said, surrounded by a throng of frontmen.

“I appreciate these guys like no other. I love you all,” he said, gesturing towards them.
