There will be a new Class A champion this season.

Our Lady of Sacred Heart had a strong start Friday, driving deep inside Clairton territory on its first two possessions, but got nothing to show for it. 

The Bears scored five times in just over six minutes in the second quarter and advanced easily over the defending champs, 41-0, at West Mifflin.

Clairton (9-2) used several big plays to grab a huge lead early. Kenlein Ogletree had a game to remember, making three interceptions and scoring two first half touchdowns on catches of 34 and 61 yards. Quarterback Brendan Parsons had a 66-yard touchdown run and Dontae Sanders scored from 10 yards out. 

“We have a great football team, I’m not taking anything away from OLSH, but we have some skilled kids,” head coach Wayne Wade said. “We’re big up front and our guys want it.”
