HERSHEY — Two long touchdown passes from Capri Thompson to Terrish Webb and two late touchdown runs by Tyler Boyd led Clairton High School to its third straight PIAA Class A football championship Friday with a 35-19 triumph over Southern Columbia at Hersheypark Stadium.

The victory was the 47th straight for Clairton, the longest active high school football winning streak in the nation.

Clairton finished the season 16-0 for the second straight season. The Bears lost their season-opening game in 2009 to Laurel, but won the remaining 15 games that season.

Southern Columbia, which won a PIAA record five straight Class A championship games from 2002 through 2006, finished its season at 14-2.

Webb opened the scoring with an 88-yard pass from Thompson — a PIAA Class A championship game record — just one play after a Southern Columbia punt with 3:55 to play in the first quarter.

Clairton compiled 436 yards of offense, including 218 yards rushing on 14 carries by Boyd, a junior. Thompson was 4 of 9 passing for 165 yards.

The Clairton defense sacked QB Brad Fegley eight times for 55 yards.

Matt Moore rushed 16 times for 136 yards for Southern Columbia.

“This is obviously devastating for our kids,” Southern Columbia head coach Jim Roth said.
