West Mifflin wins on 2-point conversion in OT beating Central Valley 36-35

Written by Charlie Magovern on .

Charlie Magovern recaps the game, West Mifflin over Central Valley:

"Derrick Fulmore's successful two-point conversion run in the first overtime earned West Mifflin a 36-35 victory Friday night against Central Valley at North Allegheny High School as the Warriors advanced to the WPIAL Class AAA title game next Friday at Heinz Field.

West Mifflin (11-1) originally decided to kick the extra point after the touchdown, but once Central Valley was called for encroachment before the kick, coach Ray Brazso called a timeout to think about it before calling a quarterback sneak.

"We got the penalty, so I thought we might as well go for it and it paid off," Brazso said.

Fulmore led all rushers with 156 yards on 19 carries and three touchdowns, and, while his overtime touchdown set up the win, a shoestring tackle by DiAngelo Mitchell on Central Valley's Robert Foster saved it."
