State record in tow, Clairton continues to go big-game hunting
Joe Koch, with a Clairton WPIAL story from 2012:

"For once, the Clairton High School football coach won't have to answer questions about his team chasing ghosts as the Bears made history with a 58-21 victory against Sto-Rox in the WPIAL Class A championship game last Friday at Heinz Field.
The win marked the 60th in a row for the Bears, who now set their sights on Berlin Brothersvalley at 7 p.m. Friday at Somerset's Golden Eagle Stadium.
Berlin Brothersvalley, the District 5 champion, advanced to the PIAA Class A quarterfinals with a 14-6 victory against North Star last Friday night in a first-round game, also played at Somerset. The winner of that game meets the winner of the Port Allegany-Sharpsville game in the semifinals."
