  • 1994 Mckeesport Tigers Football
    1994 MCKEESPORT TIGERS FOOTBALL The 1994 McKeesport Tigers pitched four shutouts and permitted just 7.8 points per contest. And so it is fitting that the defense is remembered for the goal line stand in the PIAA Quad-A Final against nationally-ranked Downingtown that secured a perfect 15-0 season for Coach George Smith and his club. Brandon Short, who went on to a stellar career at Penn State and with the New York Giants, led the surge that prevented the Whippets’ two 1,000 yard rushers from scoring early in the fourth quarter. With 6:34 remaining, the Tigers’ wishbone triple-option offense churned out a 9-play 67-yard drive chewing 3:50 off of the clock. Glenn Allen’s 31-yard blast set up quarterback Bill Isbir’s 11-yard scamper around the left end that put the Tigers up for good 17-14. A Downingtown fumble on the ensuing kickoff was recovered by Keonte Campbell and sealed the deal on McKeesport’s first undefeated season since 1936, its first WPIAL title since 1938, and its first-ever state crown. That championship season galvanized a community rocked by the collapse of its industrial base as 52 busloads of fans made their way to Altoona to witness the game on a cold and rainy night. ROBERT “TICK” CLOHERTY Robert “Tick” Cloherty sported a black and white striped shirt with pride during 25 basketball and 35 football seasons, officiating seven WPIAL Championships and scores of playoff games. Fair and precise between the white lines, Cloherty served as President of the West Penn Basketball Officials and President of the Eastern Association of Interscholastic Football Officials.

OFFENSE: RB TIKI BARBER, NEW YORK GIANTS • Facing the league’s No. 1 ranked rushing defense (69.3 yards allowed per game entering Week 6), Barber rushed for a season-high 185 yards on 26 carries (7.1 average) in the Giants’ 27-14 road victory over the Atlanta Falcons. The 185-yard performance is the fifth-highest total for Barber and the 33rd time the 10- year veteran has gone over the century mark (three times in 2006). Barber led a New York attack that amassed 259 yards on the ground against a defense that had allowed just 277 rushing yards in Atlanta’s previous four games combined. For the day, the former Virginia standout had eight runs of at least 10 yards, the highest single-game total by a player since Seattle’s SHAUN ALEXANDER accomplished the feat in 2004 (11/14/04). This season, Barber is tied with Atlanta’s MICHAEL VICK for the most 10+ yard runs in the league with 19.

NFL Draft 2017 Scouting Report: QB Kyle Sloter, No. Colorado *Our QB grades can and will change as more information comes in from Pro Day workouts, leaked Wonderlic test results, etc. We will update ratings as new info becomes available. I don't make many scouting reports 'free view', but this is a unique case and I'm doing a series of background articles and reports on this player, so this particular scouting report is open for all to consider. It's also a little different than our normal scouting reports, so for more evidence of our work check out the free samples on our home page. Considering new readers to this, I need to begin by putting a lot of my cards on the table… It's a strange and magical tale that has unfolded with Kyle Sloter's college career. I'm going to attempt to convince you that Kyle Sloter is one of the five best QB prospects in the 2017 NFL Draft. Quite frankly, I think we could have been arguing for him as the top prospect had things turned out differently early in his bizarre college career (more detail on that in a moment). I do believe he has that kind of talent. Few in the football business will agree with that last statement…or would even allow it to be entertained for discussion, but I hope you'll hear my story and decide for yourself.
