  • 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.

These additional funds also allowed us to renovate and upgrade a section of Joe Walton Stadium and the football locker room area by commissioning a graphic and pictorial history of the program to enhance the team area and give it a more modern appeal.

Surprising Sports Treasures. Beaver Falls., PA, July 17, 2012— With the help of NFL stars, some very unique sports artifacts and a storied class of Circle of Achievement honorees, The Larry Bruno Foundation (LBF) will unveil its new Hall of Achievement Sports Museum at the Carnegie Free Library of Beaver Falls in a series of events on August 2-4, 2012. “You might expect a big city sports museum to have signed helmets, jerseys, and lots of game gear from NFL Pro Bowl players, but you might not expect that in Beaver Falls,” said Ron Main, Chairman of the Larry Bruno Foundation. Continuing, “Working with NFL legends like Joe Namath we plan to unveil some ‘hidden gems’ as our Foundation regularly contributes to a living, growing must-see exhibit for sports fans in Western Pennsylvania and the world.” Each year, the Larry Bruno Foundation, named for the legendary “Magical Coach” Larry Bruno, who spawned countless area coaches and who coached memorable players including Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Namath, will add to the displays in the Hall of Achievement. Some of this year’s additions include the Pro Football Hall of Fame Historic Hometown Plaque for Joe Namath, and the heaviest (and perhaps the most expensive) sports book ever published to chronicle the first 40 Super Bowls.

  • 82Nd Annual Convention of the AFCA
    82nd annual convention of the AFCA. JANUARY 9-12, 2005 * LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY President's Message It was an ordinary Friday night high school football game in Helena, Arkansas, in 1959. After eating our pre-game staples of roast beef, green beans and dry toast, we journeyed to the stadium for pre- game. As rain began to fall, a coach instructed us to get in a ditch to get wet so we would forget about the elements. By kickoff, the wind had increased to 20 miles per hour while the temperature dropped over 30 degrees. Sheets of ice were forming on our faces. Our head coach took the team to the locker room and gave us instructions for the game as we stood in the hot showers until it was time to go on the field. Trailing 6-0 at halftime, the officials tried to get both teams to cancel the game. Our coach said, "Men, they want us to cancel. If we do, the score will stand 6-0 in favor of Jonesboro." There was a silence broken by his words, "I know you don't want to get beat 6-0." Well, we finished the game and the final score was 13-0 in favor of Jonesboro. Forty-five years later, it is still the coldest game I have ever been in. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] No one likes to lose, but for every victory, there is a loss. As coaches, we must use every situation to teach about life and how champions handle both the good and the bad. I am blessed to work with coaches who care about each and every player.
