WEXFORD — Two down, one to go.

The “Revenge Tour,” coined as such by Seneca Valley football coach Ron Butschle, is well under way for the Raiders following their stunning 31-14 upset of previously unbeaten North Allegheny in a WPIAL Class 6A semifinal Friday night at Newman Stadium.

Seneca Valley (9-3) rallied to defeat Central Catholic, 15-14, last week. The Raiders will face Pine-Richland — a 46-16 winner over Mt. Lebanon in the other semifinal — at 8 p.m. Nov. 17 at Heinz Field in the 6A title game.

Central Catholic, North Allegheny and Pine-Richland handed SV its three regular season losses.

“To get a shot at all three of them in the postseason is crazy, it's unheard of,” SV quarterback Gabe Lawson said. “Coach Butschle calls it The Revenge Tour.

“We're showing we're a different football team right now.”

Indeed.

Seneca Valley managed only 108 net yards of offense in its 10-6 regular serason loss at NA. The Raiders rolled up 394 Friday night, including 234 on the ground.

That ground game — plus receptions of 37 and 51 yards by Jake Stebbins — enabled the Raiders to complete touchdown drives covering 75, 94 and 91 yards while taking a 24-14 lead five seconds into the final quarter.

“Our coaches worked hard on game-planning for this one,” Butschle said. “We tried some different things and they worked.”

The biggest “different thing” was senior running back Jake Mineweaser. He had one carry in the regular season loss to the Tigers. He had 29 carries for 147 yards and two touchdowns Friday night.

Mineweaser's 11-yard scoring run — four plays after Ryan Kristobak's interception and 19-yard return to the NA 38 — sealed the deal at 31-14 with 9:47 to play.

“Jake was forced into the lineup because of aninjury to Matt (Stanger) a few weeks back,” Butschle said. “He's been playing so well ... You just can't take a guy out when he's going that good.”

The Raiders held a 17-14 lead going into the final quarter, but Stebbins' 51-yard catch down the right sideline put SV in scoring position just before the end of the third period.

Lawson found Luke Smith in the left corner of the end zone for a 12-yard TD toss on the first play of the fourth period.

“This was a one-possession game most of the way and we felt good about it,” NA coach Art Walker Jr. said. “But they were able to run the ball tonight and that's a credit to their line. Those guys played great against us.”

Mineweaser agreed.

“This was all offensive line tonight,” Mineweaser said. “They gave me the holes. They feel comfortable with me and I sure feel comfortable with them.”
