The connection between Clairton quarterback Brendan Parsons and receiver Kenlein Ogletree has been described a few different ways. 

But now, a new adjective can be used.

It’s a championship connection.

Parsons and Ogletree hooked up for three touchdowns as the Bears routed Sto-Rox, 41-19, in Saturday’s WPIAL Class A championship game at Heinz Field.

Parsons posted 295 all-purpose yards in the contest, finishing 8 of 14 through the air for 201 yards and gaining another 94 yards on the ground on 20 carries.

“Brendan’s been a three-year starter for us and we’ve changed offensive coordinators a few times. Starting off the season, it was a little slow with us getting accustomed to a new offense,” Clairton head coach Wayne Wade said. “He took to it well. Those big 2,500, 3,000 yards passing, he’s one of those kids that can do that. With all the talent we have, we can kind of spread it around.”
