North Allegheny took the short trip to Pine-Richland High School to compete against the Central Catholic Vikings in the WPIAL Championship game. The Vikings got off to a hot start and the Tigers could never recover falling to Central Catholic by a score of 42-7.

The Vikings got things started immediately as Jayden Alexander returned the opening kick 96 yards to jump out to a 7-0 lead. After a North Allegheny three-and-out and a good Central Catholic return, the Vikings drove 44 yards in six plays to make the score 14-0 at the end of the first quarter.

It looked like the Vikings would be in the red zone again when Aiden Nasiadka returned a punt inside the 20, but Bradyn McConneha punched the ball out and Gavin Ust recovered it to give NA the ball back. Even with a little momentum, a Tiger fumble was picked up and returned by Central’s Nick Curinga to the end zone to make the score 21-0. Things stayed calmed until just over two minutes left in the second quarter when the Vikings drove 94 yards in 10 plays, capped off by a Roman Thompson two-yard touchdown run to make the score 28-0 at the half.

North Allegheny punted on the opening drive of the third quarter. Central Catholic turned it into points again with another Thompson touchdown, and the mercy rule was invoked as the Vikings went up 35-0.

After a 43-minute weather delay, Alexander found the end zone again, this time from 58 yards out to expand the Central lead to 42-0 in the fourth quarter. After an NA punt, the Tigers forced a turnover as Kellan Frank caused and recovered a fumble. The Tigers broke the shutout when Brady Brinkley hit Cameron Kushner on a five-yard pass.

Luke Rohan led the Tigers in rushing with 40 yards. Brinkley finished the night 12-for-23 with 145 yards and a touchdown. Ben Kern was NA’s leading receiver with four catches for 74 yards. Frank, Eli Janowiak and Mason Brown all had seven tackles for North Allegheny while Kushner had six.

The North Allegheny seniors were named the Wright Automotive Player of the Game. This group made it to four WPIAL championship games, claiming two WPIAL titles along with a PIAA championship appearance.

The Tigers season ends with an 8-4 record. Congrats to head coach Art Walker and all players and staff on another successful campaign.

The second-seeded North Allegheny Tigers hosted the No. 3 seed Norwin Knights at Newman Stadium on Friday night in the WPIAL Semifinals. After a slow first half, the Tigers exploded for 28 points in the second half to pull away from the Knights and advance to their fourth straight WPIAL Championship game.

Both teams traded punts on their first couple of possessions before Norwin drove the ball to the North Allegheny 24-yard line. The Knights converted a 41-yard field goal to take a 3-0 lead after a quarter of play. After trading punts to start the second quarter, NA began to move the ball. The Tigers finally got on the board when Brady Brinkley hit Cameron Kushner over the middle for a 56-yard touchdown pass and gave North Allegheny the 7-3 lead.

Norwin responded with a solid drive of their own, going 68 yards in 12 plays. The Knights attempted a 29-yard field goal, but Lincoln Hoke blocked the attempt, and the score stood where it was heading into halftime.

The Tigers exploded out of the gates in the second half after forcing a Norwin three-and-out. Brinkley found Kushner on the first play of the second half, this time from 58 yards out, and North Allegheny led 14-3.

NA forced another punt and three plays later found the end zone again when Luke Rohan scored from 31 yards out and the North Allegheny lead expanded to 21-3.


Norwin threatened late in the third quarter, getting to the Tiger 14-yard line, but Norwin quarterback Tristyn Tavares was sacked by Owen Urschler, Grant Girty and Kellen Frank on fourth down to preserve the 21-3 lead going to the fourth quarter.

North Allegheny started the fourth quarter with a 13-play, 54 yard drive that took up five and a half minutes but a missed field goal kept the score where it was. Norwin found some life, responding with an 80-yard touchdown from Tavares to Jake Knight to cut the score to 21-10. The Tigers responded right back when Rohan scored on NA’s next offensive play going 57 yards and the NA lead blew up to 28-10.

On the ensuing play for Norwin, Tavares’ pass to the flat was intercepted by Mason Brown and the Tigers were in business once again. Rohan found paydirt for the third time in the game from 11 yards out and North Allegheny had a commanding 35-10 lead. Tavares ran one in from two yards out to make the final score 35-17.

Kushner was named the Wright Automotive Player of the Game, finishing with three catches for 119 yards and two touchdowns. Rohan led the way, rushing for 181 yards and three touchdowns. Brinkley finishes six-for-14 for 158 yards and two touchdowns.

Hoke led the NA defense with 11 tackles and two and a half sacks. Frank had 10 tackles while Brown and Tydes Alualu each had nine tackles. The Tigers had six sacks as a team.

North Allegheny advances to the WPIAL Championship game next week where they will take on the top-seeded Central Catholic Vikings. The game will be played at Pine-Richland High School and kick off is scheduled for 6:05 p.m. This game will be broadcast live on the North Allegheny Sports Network.

North Allegheny traveled to Harmony to take on the Seneca Valley Raiders at NexTier Stadium in the regular season finale. The Tigers jumped out to an early lead but were ultimately tripped up by the Raiders by a score of 21-18.

NA got off to a great start as they received the opening kickoff and drove the ball 80 yards on a drive that took six and a half minutes. A Luke Rohan six-yard run finished off the drive and North Allegheny jumped out to a 7-0 lead.

The Tiger defense forced the Raiders to punt, and the offense looked to be on the move again, driving to the Seneca Valley 24-yard line. However, a fumble denied the Tigers any chance at points, and the score was 7-0 at the end of the first quarter.

The teams traded punts to start the second quarter before the Raiders put together a drive and went to the NA 30-yard line. On fourth-and-two, James Harrison made a huge stop for the North Allegheny defense to get the Tigers the ball back.

The teams once again traded punts before Seneca Valley drove 75 yards in five plays and Andrew Loebig found paydirt from two yards out late in the second quarter. NA blocked the extra point to hold onto the 7-6 lead. Following a North Allegheny punt, the Raiders tried a double pass that was sniffed out by Korry Pitts, who intercepted the second pass and the Tigers took a 7-6 lead into the locker room.

Similar to North Allegheny’s drive to start the game, Seneca Valley took the second half kickoff and drove 87 yards in 11 plays, taking up five and a half minutes. Loebig found Cayden Parker on a swing pass from 15 yards out, and the Raiders were on the board again. Parker connected with Adam Gehm on the two-point conversion, and Seneca Valley led 14-7 heading to the fourth quarter.

NA responded with a 17-play drive down to the Seneca Valley seven-yard line, but the drive stalled and Ethan Maravich connected on a 24-yard field goal to cut the Tiger deficit to 14-10.

The North Allegheny defense forced a three-and-out to give the offense the ball back, but a pick-six extended the Raider lead to 21-10. After another 10-play drive, the Tigers were stuffed on fourth-and-one, giving Seneca Valley the ball back. The defense came up big again, forcing a punt with 4:49 left in the fourth quarter. Needing a score quickly, the North Allegheny offense showed urgency and scored in 58 seconds when Brady Brinkley completed a 25-yard touchdown pass to Gavin Ust to make the score 21-16. Brinkley found Ben Kern on the two-point conversion and it was a field goal game at 21-18 with 3:51 remaining.

Unfortunately for the Tigers, Seneca Valley was able to run the clock out and come away with the 21-18 win.

Rohan was named the Wright Automotive Player of the Game going for 115 yards on the ground and a touchdown. Brinkley finished 24-for-40 with 249 yards and a touchdown. Kern led the Tigers in receiving with eight catches for 81 yards.

Lincoln Hoke led the NA defense with 10 tackles, two for loss. Kellan Frank had six tackles while Kai Inouye and Owen Urschler each had five tackles.

North Allegheny falls to 7-3 overall and finishes conference play with a 4-2 record. Seneca Valley finishes their season with a 4-6 overall record and 2-4 conference record. The Tigers will have the week off before returning to action on Friday, November 7 when they will host the Norwin Knights at Newman Stadium in the WPIAL Semifinals.

North Allegheny hosted the Canon-McMillan Big Macs on Friday night in a Quad County Conference matchup. With second-place on the line, the Tigers and Big Macs battled, but it was NA who came up with a turnover on the goal line at the end of the game to come away with the 21-13 win. The win was Head Coach Art Walker’s 200th career victory at North Allegheny.

North Allegheny punted to start the game. Canon-McMillan put together an eight-play, 50-yard drive and got to the North Allegheny nine-yard line before Mason Brown forced the strip sack that was recovered by Grant Girty and the Tigers defense got off the field without allowing any points.

North Allegheny responded with a 12-play, 76-yard drive finished off with Brady Brinkley finding Cameron Kushner from 26 yards out to give the Tigers a 7-0 lead after a quarter of play.

After a Big Mac punt, the North Allegheny offense got back to work, going 36 yards in eight plays, finished off by a Luke Rohan one-yard touchdown to make the score 14-0.

Both teams traded possessions without scoring before Canon-McMillan got the ball with 1:47 remaining in the half. The Big Macs drove 76 yards in 1 minute and 44 seconds, and Ty Jansma completed a pass to TJ Sabatucci from 10 yards out. Canon-McMillan cut the NA lead to 14-7 going into the half.

With the Big Macs getting the ball to start the second half, the Tiger defense stood tall, forcing a three-and-out to start the period. The North Allegheny offense made adjustments, and Brinkley hit Korry Pitts on a post route from 33 yards out to make the score 21-7.

Canon-McMillan responded, getting to the North Allegheny one-yard line, but couldn’t punch it in and settled for a Rhys Maentz 19-yard field goal to make the score 21-10 going into the fourth quarter.

After NA failed a fourth-and-four conversion, Canon-McMillan once again got inside the North Allegheny 10-yard line but couldn’t convert and had to settle for another field goal, cutting the NA lead to 21-13. Looking to run the clock out, the Tigers fumbled the football and gave the Big Macs the ball on NA’s 22-yard line. It looked like Canon-McMillan had an opportunity to tie the game when Jansma hit Matthew Hirsch on a slant route, but right before Hirsch crossed the goal line, Kushner punched the ball out and Kai Inouye recovered it and the Tigers survived a scare.

The NA offense was able to run the clock out, and North Allegheny prevailed, 21-13.

Brinkley was named the Wright Automotive Player of the Game, going 15-for-24, 208 yards and two touchdowns. Rohan led the Tigers in rushing with 110 yards and a touchdown. Ben Kern was NA’s leading receiver, making six catches for 61 yards.

James Harrison led the North Allegheny defense with 10 tackles. Lincoln Hoke made eight tackles, two for loss, while Inouye had six. Brown contributed five tackles and his strip sack.

North Allegheny improves to 7-1 overall and 4-1 in the conference. Canon-McMillan falls to 4-4 overall and 2-2 in conference play. The Tigers return to action next Friday when they travel to Pine-Richland to take on the Rams at 7 p.m. This game will be broadcast on the North Allegheny Sports Network.
