#WPIAL Playoff victory droughts that got snapped tonight
@chbucs1 won their first playoff game since 2000! (Had been 0-13 since last win)
@ShalerFB won their first playoff game since 2009!
@HopewellVikesFB won their first playoff game since 2012!
Tough loss last night for our Shaler Titans against a strong Butler
Tornadoes team.
Not the result we
wanted, but we're keeping our heads up.
Plenty of season left, and we'll be back stronger.

The last team weβre going to discuss is Shaler. Similar to South Fayetteβs Welhorsky, JUNIOR QB Aaron Aversa lead his team in both passing and rushing. Aversa finished the season with 475 yards passing and 3 TDs with a 47% completions percentage and tacked on another 415 yards on the ground. We expect a step forward for Aversa and if he can increase those numbers in 2025, Shaler could be a team that settles around a .500 record and competes for a spot in the 2025 playoff field. Shaler also returns their top 2 WR targets in SENIORS Troy Cignetti and Jonathan Saban. The two WRs hauled in 26 catches for 328 yards. With solid protection from Shalerβs offensive line, it would give Aversa ample time to make plays, and we could see a significant improvement from the Titans in 2025.
No idea who the kid is, but just watched some film and @ShalerFB QB can spin it. Give that kid some time and he could cause problems. Nice WR group too.
Thanks to @NCtrojansFB and @SHALERFOOTBALL for coming to Mars today to compete and get in some quality work.
We got better today!
Best of luck to you this season!!
