North Allegheny outlasts Central Catholic for WPIAL title, 35-21

NORTH HUNTINGDON, Pa. — North Allegheny won its fifth WPIAL title in its championship game against Central Catholic Saturday.

With two big-time high school programs meeting in the WPIAL 6A championship, many expected a heavyweight fight. Central Catholic (7-4) and North Allegheny (10-1) threw haymakers all night and eventually the Tigers knocked out the Vikings, 35-21, winning NA’s first WPIAL Class-6A football championship.

North Allegheny will play State College next week in the PIAA quarterfinals.
