About Blue Steele Classical FencingWhen: Saturdays, 10 a.m.Where: St. Clair Park, Robertshaw Amphitheater, GreensburgWho can join: Sessions are open to anyone 18 and older, regardless of experienceFor more information: contact the group's Facebook page
TribLIVE's Daily and Weekly email newsletters deliver the news you want and information you need
It’s not just the agile and quick movements of fencing that draw Tom Huwalt to the centuries-old sport
but also the historical preservation aspect of the motions
“I’ve been obsessed with history and swords since I was a kid,” said the South Greensburg man
William Moore of Hunker also expressed an interest in fencing at a young age
but he didn’t pick up the hobby until later in life
Clair Park in Greensburg as a way to work on motor skills
“I love it from sort of a martial arts perspective,” Moore said
“I think it’s just a good way to get out
Huwalt and Moore co-founded Blue Steele Classical Fencing
a club that meets Saturday mornings in the Robertshaw Amphitheater
The sessions are relaxed and open to anyone 18 and older
Those who attend typically go through lessons and drills
“We start them from the foundations of fencing … then we just build from there,” Huwalt said
The sport’s first appearance in the Olympics was in 1896 in Athens, though it had been gaining popularity in Europe for centuries prior, according to the Olympics
Competitors must have quick footwork and balance to use a type of sword to hit an opponent in a specific target area on their body
The Blue Steele Classical Fencing group focuses on French and British sabre and smallsword sources from the Napoleonic era
Club members also have been trying out longswords
They have several historical books on hand
in order to stay as accurate as possible to the techniques
participants practiced moves while holding the swords and worked on hitting an opponent
“I really like how these guys do a lot of attention to doing drills,” in addition to the history research
Drills may not be as exciting as a duel or sparring
but it’s important to learn the basics
“That’s the core and foundation,” he said
Huwalt and Moore have been pleased by the interest so far
The group has been meeting at the park since December
“We hope that we can add a few more members this summer and continue to grow and also keep our historical focus,” Moore said

The board of directors approved its budget with a deficit of $6.5-million
the federal government slashed the number of international student visas it issued by a further 10 per cent from the 2024 cap
and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will issue 437,000 study permits
with Ontario being able to issue approximately 117,000 of those permits
A 40 per cent reduction of international students coming to Canada was expected this year
we certainly have seen the impact of policy as it relates to international students," said St
and we have taken that into consideration and we've had to pivot
and we've been pivoting for the past few months in our planning and so forth."
Some of that planning and pivoting included the suspension of 18 programs at St. Clair this fall
Some of the impacted programs include journalism
and some programs offered at the Chatham campus such as office administration
Fall admissions for those programs are suspended while students who are currently enrolled in year two or three will be allowed to finish out their studies
no further program reductions are anticipated
"If programs were to be identified right now
there would would be potentially students with no options
perhaps going into a program they do not want
we did not want to do that because we know the impacts," Silvaggi said
Silvaggi says the college still remains in a good position financially with $74-million in reserves
"We need some time to make sure that that operation budget can get to a place
obviously we have to be no worse than a balanced budget
but certainly we have something's up our sleeve if you will
and there is a lot of work to do." he said
dealing with a lot of the inputs that are coming in
it keeps us on our toes," Silvaggi added
VP of Communications and Community Relations
Clair won't know the full impacts of international student numbers until around 10 days after the fall semester begins
A Pell City man was booked on a bond exceeding $3 million following his arrest on multiple drug-related charges in St
42-year-old John Moss faces several charges

he has been charged with non-payment of child support
The total bond amount was set at $3,130,650.95
A DoorDash driver accused of attacking a St
Clair Shores restaurant owner last weekend after a dispute has been charged
was arraigned Tuesday in 40th District Court in St
The Eastpointe resident is charged with unarmed robbery
malicious destruction of property valued between $200 and $1,000
aggravated assault as well as the delivery and manufacture of marijuana
A magistrate set Godbold's bond at $25,000 and scheduled his next court hearing for Tuesday
The magistrate also ordered the defendant to wear a GPS tether if he posts bond
Court records on Wednesday said Godbold is representing himself
he faces up to 15 years in prison for the robbery charge
up to a year for the destruction of property charge
up to a year for aggravated assault and up to four years for delivery of marijuana charge
Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido said his office has filed an emergency motion for a bond hearing to revoke or raise Godbold's bond
"This was not a spontaneous act," the prosecutor said in statement
This attack was a threat to public safety and a complete lack of respect for our laws."
He also said a judge will hear the motion during Godbold's probable cause conference on Tuesday
"We are committed to protecting our hardworking business owners and residents
Authorities allege Godbold and another man assaulted the owner of the Amigos Street Tacos restaurant on Greater Mack
Police said they were called to the business at about 7 p.m
Saturday for a report of a robbery and assault
the restaurant's owner was assaulted by a DoorDash driver after they got into an argument
Detectives said the suspect tried to grab a food order
The suspect assaulted the owner and broke a window at the restaurant
Investigators said the suspect left the business but returned with another man
The two men then assaulted the restaurant's owner
Police said they have not yet identified the second assailant
Clair Shores police located the suspect in a vehicle near the restaurant and conducted a traffic stop
Detectives said officers arrested the suspect
The incident is the latest in Metro Detroit involving a DoorDash driver
Also on Saturday, an 18-year-old man and a 17-year-old allegedly carjacked a DoorDash driver in Southfield and led police on a car chase
Last week, an Oak Park man accused of shooting a DoorDash delivery driver in March was charged
In March, a DoorDash driver was charged after he allegedly pulled out a gun during a disagreement over a delivery in Bloomfield Township
DoorDash representatives could not be reached for comment Wednesday
The individual memories differ but the common thread is that all of them are somehow involved in every one of those recollections
Ask any of Perkiomen Valley’s six seniors what their earliest memory is of playing with or even against each other and they’ll likely give six different answers
What won’t change is that at least one if more of the other five of them are also prominently involved
The defining senior class in District 1 this year
plays its final game together Friday night in Hershey
Their path has led them to the one game they haven’t yet played in with the one championship they haven’t won as the final reward
The last team standing between PV and a state title is Upper St
a group that in several ways has a story quite similar to the Vikings
“We’d go to the PAC championships together as a team and watch the older girls and I remember sitting there next to Bella
Grace and Julia and just saying ‘we’re going to be there one day,’” PV senior Lena Stein said
“We felt like we were going to be on that floor one day and we did
I just have so many memories with them going back to when we were little.”
Bella Bacani is one of three 1,000-point scorers in Perk Valley's starting lineup
Whether it was a young Grace Galbavy trading baskets with a young Bella Bacani and thinking what a nightmare it’d be to play against that girl for the next 10 years or a young Quinn Boettinger recognizing in one of her first PVBL games that this was pretty fun for a bunch of eight-year-olds missing layups
the group that would become the Perk Valley seniors had early intuitions they had something special
A couple of them went back earlier that third grade
but that’s the consensus year when it first started coming together
Grace Miley and Julia Smith enter Friday’s game with a 109-15 record at Perk Valley; the group is 86-7 over the last three years when Galbavy has been with them
Stein was certainly onto something when she made that proclamation in the stands all those years ago
“I remember back when we first started playing in a league
me and Julia were on the same team playing against Quinn and Lena
we didn’t even know how to dribble,” Bacani said
“We’re just passing it back and forth to each other the whole time
I remember Julia made a shot and even Quinn and Lena on the other team were jumping into the air cheering for her
We’ve been cheering for each other since day one
Bacani said it feels like a blur that she’s even a senior heading into her final game
the point guard thinking it was yesterday where she was a freshman earning some varsity minutes alongside her friends in the same class
Stein and Boettinger had a similar feeling that even through PVBL
Perk Valley and traveling all over the country as teammates with the Comets on the AAU circuit
Boettinger vividly remembers when her dad Paul
Stein’s dad Ed and a couple other parents helped organize some third grade PVBL teams then had them scrimmage each other
so the score was like 8-6 but I just remember being with those girls and realizing how nice they were and how fun it all was,” Boettinger said
we made our team and we instantly all clicked
There was never a moment where we felt like it wasn’t the right fit.”
transferring to PV prior to her sophomore year but she was always around directly or indirectly and
“I used to hate playing PV growing up
it always felt like 1-v-5,” Galbavy said
“Me and Bella used to go head-to-head
I think the one game we both had between 15 to 20 points and I just left thinking ‘I can not believe I have to keep playing these girls,’ only to end up on the same team.”
There’s something to this group that no matter where they go over the next four or five years in college
they’ll find their way back together eventually
we’re going to see each other,” Bacani said
PV’s season ended at the hands of the eventual Class 6A champion
that outcome is still on the table going into Friday’s game but at least this time
that decision will come on the final stage
but we’ve played to the fullest we could and got as far as possible,” Boettinger said
Perk Valley senior Grace Galbavy helped the Vikings win three District 1 titles in her three seasons with the team
in a bit of a rarity for a matchup pitting a team from the eastern part of the state against one from the west
PV coach John Russo took his team from one end of the PA Turnpike to the other in the second week of December
Clair back-to-back and earning wins over the two teams that ended up playing for the WPIAL Class 6A title
Teams can change quite a bit between December and March
but neither side is going into Friday’s matchup totally blind
“That was a good call on Coach Russo’s part
he called it the whole year,” Galbavy said
it was quite a while ago now but it’s good to have the film
kind of know what they had the last time and know your personnel.”
Friday will mark only the second time in program history that Upper St
the Panthers coming away victorious in 1999 in their previous trip
For 11th year head coach Pete Serio, it’s a run that’s felt a little extra gratifying after the hurdles the Panthers had to face the last three years
This year was the third straight season Upper St
Clair played for a WPIAL title and the fourth time overall in the past five seasons but just the first they came away with a championship
The last three seasons have seen catastrophic injuries derail promising seasons
last year an ACL injury taking down standout guard Rylee Kalocay early in the postseason
came back in just nine months and has only gotten stronger and stronger with each passing week
she’s been the spark but far from the only one playing at a high level this year
“It took her a little bit of time to get going
but these other kids have really stepped up
“It’s been the best year of my coaching career in terms of chemistry and enjoying the relationships we have together.”
While Kaolcay is the only of USC’s six seniors going on to play at the next level
it’s a group that traces its roots back to third grade origins
Olivia Terlicki and Meredith Huzjak have emerged as consistent complimentary pieces to Kalocay
the two seniors acting as marksmen from the perimeter throughout the playoffs
Grace Howell and Claire Rosenberry are the other two seniors who play a prominent role for USC
She’s the only one of the top six in the rotation who isn’t a senior but junior point guard Ryan Prunzik has also been excellent all year
Serio specifically highlighting her play alongside the senior guards
Huzjak and Terlicki) have been playing together since the third grade
they even played AAU together for three or four years,” Serio said
“That shouldn’t overlook our point guard
she’s one of the biggest reasons why we’re here just because of her energy and what she brings to us
deflections and steals and you can’t get as far as we’ve gotten with just one or two kids.”
the Panthers went through a three-game losing streak capped by a defeat against their main competition in District 7’s Class 6A in Norwin
Clair has lost just one game since then and has won eight straight games entering Friday’s title game
“Something happened over the last six or seven weeks – who knows what it was – but the calmness and the freeness by which they’ve played
how they’ve played together and how they’ve shared responsibilities
“Ever since that losing streak happened
It’s been wonderful to watch.”
Lena Stein believed early on that she and her teammates in Perk Valley's Class of 2025 would contend for titles
Trace the lines and Perk Valley and Upper St
Clair’s pathways this season hit a lot of the same points
Both teams are led by a core of seniors who have been together for quite some time
both teams have seen their share of postseason heartbreak and both teams know four years together comes down to one last dance together
The Panthers aren’t trying to make it anything more than that
“They know what’s there,” Serio said
“Five of my top six kids are seniors and they know this is it
so we do talk about our time together and how it’s ending
It ends regardless of whether we win or lose on Friday
so I think we’re kind of focused on that
“We want to go out the right way.”
This extended end to the state tournament has afforded the Vikings ample opportunity to stretch out their days together
After the team’s quarterfinal win over Hazleton
the senior players found themselves at Miley’s house watching videos of their fourth
fifth and sixth grade travel teams long into the night while sharing a lot of laughs and just as many tears
They’re not the only ones thinking about the end of it all either
“My mom came into my room the other day sobbing
“Lena was crying the other day and that got me all worked up about it
it’s like family and it kind of sucks that it is coming to an end
“We’re all going to move on and do great things but it’s just different when you’re in the same place and on the same team.”
Galbavy pointed out that in just a few months
each of them off to college and on to the next stage
All that matters is the last 32 minutes they get to spend together with Vikings across the front of their jerseys and the two words Smith said after winning the District 1 title: “still hungry.”
I never thought I’d get to the day where there was just one more,” Stein said
“I couldn’t ask for a game I’d more want to end it on than this
we’re ready and with my girls I’ve been with since the third grade ready to end this together.”

"When did you open this restaurant?" asked Faraz Javed
Jose owns five other locations across metro Detroit
But he will never forget what he experienced this past Saturday around 6 pm
"What was going through your mind?" asked Faraz
Jose says it all started when a DoorDash driver came to pick up an order
"The toilet wasn't connected to the water," said Jose
and you didn't want anyone to use it," said Faraz
But Jose says the suspect still used the restroom
and I told him whatever you did in the bathroom
I took it from here and put it over there," said Jose
That's when the suspect still grabs the order
resulting in a scuffle."So he grabbed the food and threw it on the ground
That's when I picked up the phone to call 911," said Jose
That's when Jose also decides to report the incident to DoorDash

ST
– A massive underground construction project is going to begin in February beneath the Nautical Mile in St
Construction on a new sewer line is expected to begin on Feb
Even though the construction will be taking place underground
it will still impact drivers on Jefferson Avenue
The goal of the project is to cut down on sewer discharges into Lake St
two pipes flow water upstream and downstream of the storage facilities but only one pipe flows between the two
The project will install a second pipe between the storage facilities
“So that creates this bottleneck and this is that’s why you end up with more discharge
putting an additional 60 inch pipe down between nine mile and 10.5 mile road we won’t have this bottleneck anymore
---> Massive underground project aims to protect Great Lakes from sewage runoff
Jefferson Avenue will be reduced to two lanes in certain areas
but only the areas where crews are working underground
There are nine stages planned for the construction
When construction is ongoing from Revere Street to Rosemary Street
north of 10 Mile Road will be one-way traffic
Bon Brae will be fully signed for ingress/egress traffic
A map of the traffic closures can be found here.

Leia Gaccione, chef/owner of Morristown's South + Pine American Eatery and a regular guest on food television
is opening The Saint Clair in Montclair in June
The Saint Clair will take over the Church Street spot previously helmed by Scala Del Nonna, which closed in February. Gaccione
who started her culinary career in Montclair and moved to the city two years ago
"It's an amazing space on my favorite street in my favorite city and
Gaccione says renovation of the space is underway but that it's mostly cosmetic
The name The Saint Clair pays homage to its Church Street location and the churchy architecture within
and the redesign will double down on the theme
says the new look will be "stunning and not like anything I've ever seen."
"We're going to completely transform the space and
kind of inspired by the ceilings and architecture
we're going carry that churchy vibe into the decor," she said
"And also inspired by the 1996 movie 'Romeo + Juliet' with Leonardo DiCaprio and Clare Danes
I love all the drippy candles in the church and the fluorescent signs of crosses
so we’re going to give a little nod to that as well
Gaccione says she's bringing her emphasis on sustainable
local and seasonal foods to the menu at The Saint Clair
"I like to cook in a very mindful and thoughtful way with food that's nourishing for the body and nourishing for the soul," she says
"I'm looking forward to doing something different and really being a sanctuary for food lovers here in Montclair

(WXYZ) — A 20-year-old man has been charged in the brutal attack on a local business owner inside his own restaurant
The attack happened Saturday evening at Amigo Street Tacos in St
The horrific video went viral on social media and left community members shocked
Watch our report when we spoke with Jose Perez in the video player below:
Daveon Jahmel Godbold of Eastpointe was arrested after the attack during a traffic stop near the restaurant and was taken to the Macomb County Jail
aggravated assault and delivery and manufacture of marijuana
Godbold was arraigned Tuesday and will have to wear a GPS tether if he posts a $25,000 personal bond
Authorities say Godbold was picking up a DoorDash order
We spoke with the victim on Monday. Forty-five-year-old Jose Perez told us it all stemmed from a dispute over an out-of-order restroom.
"The toilet wasn't connected to the water," Perez previously told us. He said the suspect still used the restroom.
"He came to the counter, and I told him whatever you did in the bathroom, it's not right, so the order you came to pick up, I'm not going to give it to you. I took it from here and put it over there," Perez said.
That's when the suspect still grabbed the order, resulting in a scuffle.
"So he grabbed the food and threw it on the ground. And he started to act so violent. That's when I picked up the phone to call 911," Perez said.
Watch surveillance video of the incident in the video player below:
Just before the suspect took off, Perez says he kicked one of the windows. That's when Perez also decided to report the incident to DoorDash.
Video then shows the suspect returns with an accomplice, and both men can be seen attacking Perez.
Perez said this is what was going on in his mind at the time: "Just to protect myself, to save myself."
"Saturday was really bad. My head was all swollen, my back, my knee," Perez said.
Police are still searching for the accomplice.
The St. Clair Shores community came together to support the local business after the assault. Perez owns five other locations across metro Detroit.
If you have any information about this case and the suspects, you are urged to call the St. Clair Shores Police Department at 586-445-5305.
Clair’s boys team has been its chemistry
“Our team really fought for each other,” coach Danny Holzer said
I think it was our team chemistry definitely helped us do that.”
That chemistry helped the Panthers win the WPIAL title and reach the PIAA Class 6A semifinals Saturday
the Panthers’ chemistry and willingness to play for each other against steep odds was apparent
already had a 33-19 lead at intermission and scored the first six points of the third quarter
the Cahillites took a 21-point lead with 5:32 left in the third
ignited by a putback from Tyler Robbins and capped off with a dunk in transition by Kaamil Jackson
Clair to within 46-35 in the last 30 seconds of the third quarter
though Shareef Jackson helped Roman Catholic get a bit of momentum back with two free throws with 25 seconds to go in the period
The momentum carried into the fourth period
when Sebastian Edwards hit a 3-point basket and C.J
The Panthers had a couple of mini-runs in the fourth quarter but never came closer than 11 points
when Robbins made two free throws with 45 seconds remaining to make it 57-46
The Cahillites’ 10-2 run in the second quarter put them up 28-17 and allowed them to stay up by double figures the rest of the way
and they didn’t need to shoot so well,” Holzer said about what needed to happen for the Panthers to win
“(Sammy) Jackson hit two 3-pointers and (Semaj Jackson) also hit two of them
That’s four 3s out of those two players
and that really made the difference.”
The Panthers also had 10 of their 18 turnovers in the first half
while Roman Catholic had just three giveaways in that time
“We had to shoot better and control the ball better,” Holzer said
“It was just too many turnovers.”
Shareef Jackson led Roman Catholic with 19 points and six rebounds
Robbins had a double-double with 18 points and a game-high 12 rebounds
a 69-58 winner over Imhotep in the other semifinal
for the gold medal at Hershey’s Giant Center next Saturday at 8 p.m

Upper St. Clair celebrates beating New Castle and winning back-to-back WPIAL Class 6A championships Friday at Petersen Events Center.
The top-seeded Panthers used their height advantage, physical defense and rebounding, plus timely outside shooting to defend their Class 6A boys basketball title Friday night with a 65-43 victory over No. 2 New Castle at Pitt’s Petersen Events Center.
It was Upper St. Clair’s fifth WPIAL championship, all under coach Danny Holzer.
“It is different because it’s back to back,” Holzer said. “It’s basically the same team — we only lost two kids from last year’s team. All these guys were here last year. They’re all special. It doesn’t get old, but certainly this one was different.”
Upper St. Clair (23-2) became the first team to win back-to-back WPIAL titles in Class 6A since the sport expanded in 2017.
“It’s special because we’ve been playing together since third grade,” said senior Julian Dahlem, while wearing a back-to-back champs T-shirt. “The 10 seniors have been on a team together since third grade; we stuck with it. That’s the most special part about it. To do it twice like no one else has, it’s something special. It will never be forgotten.”
New Castle (21-4) remains tied with Aliquippa for the most WPIAL titles in district history at 14.
The Panthers allowed just 39 points per game this season and kept up that stingy trend in the final, limiting New Castle to 17 of 53 shooting (32.1%), including 7 of 22 from 3-point range.
Upper St. Clair also held a 39-23 rebounding advantage, fueled by the Robbins brothers. Senior Tyler Robbins, a 6-foot-10 Miami (Ohio) recruit, had 12 points, 12 rebounds and five blocks. Sophomore Ryan Robbins, a 6-7 forward, added nine points, two rebounds and two blocks off the bench.
Niko Gidas had 11 points, and Jake Foster added 10 for the Panthers. Dahlem had eight points and eight assists.
Coaches and players from both teams said it was Upper St. Clair’s outside shooting that proved to be the X-factor as the Panthers converted 8 of 17 from beyond the arc.
“When we shoot well and we can go inside-out, it’s difficult to beat us,” said Holzer, who surpassed 500 career wins this season. “There’s no doubt. We’re a pretty good high school team. I think it all starts with our defense. Our half-court defense is just tremendous.
“We have two levels of defense that are tough to beat when we’re playing together.”
Upper St. Clair finished the first half on a 6-0 run to break a 23-23 tie and didn’t give up the lead. After a Ryan Robbins free throw, Tyler Robbins knocked down a corner 3-pointer off an out-of-bounds play, and Gianni Disora capped the first half with a steal and breakaway layup to give the Panthers a 29-23 lead at halftime.
“If we close that half the right way, we’re potentially going into halftime up one,” New Castle coach Ralph Blundo said. “That was the turning point in the game. For them, the way that they play, once they stretch that lead and get it to nine or 10, now we have to change the way we play.”
USC outscored New Castle 13-6 in the third quarter to pull away. The Red Hurricanes worked the perimeter offensively but shot just 2 of 8 from behind the arc in the quarter and were unable to close the gap.
“We carried that momentum into the locker room and brought it back out with us,” Upper St. Clair’s Tyler Robbins said. “They’re typically a good third quarter team. … We just played well in the third quarter.”
For New Castle, Ralphie Blundo scored 13 points, and Damian Harrison had 11. The Red Hurricanes were in foul trouble for most of the physical game. Qualin Davis, Kyrell Harris and Blundo fouled out.
New Castle also advances to the PIAA tournament and will host District 3 seventh-place finisher Cumberland Valley (21-5) on March 8.
“My job is to get my guys together,” Ralphie Blundo said, “and keep it going as long as we can.”
Upper St. Clair will host District 3 eighth-place finisher William Penn (19-8) in the PIAA tournament first round March 8.

Upper St. Clair’s Rylee Kalocay ices the game past Norwin’s Averi Brozeski during the WPIAL Class 6A championship game Saturday at Petersen Events Center.
Coach Pete Serio, denied titles in two of the last three years as the Panthers were stricken by injuries to star players — most recently Rylee Kalocay — was able to celebrate with his team after a 45-40 victory over defending champion Norwin in the Class 6A girls basketball final Saturday night at Petersen Events Center.
Pete was in his glory at “The Pete” as his go-to guard made good on her promise to her tough-luck coach.
“I told coach we’d win one for him,” said Kalocay, who missed most of last season with a knee injury. “He had a lot of confidence in us.”
And the No. 2 seeded Panthers (19-6) had a lot of faith in Kalocay, who scored a game-high 13 points and dished five assists as USC overcame a late rally by No. 1 Norwin (15-8) to win their seventh championship.
The Panthers had been to four finals in the last five years.
“Two years ago, we sat here (in the press room), and Rylee told everyone she would be back and we would win one,” Serio said. “Here we are.”
A Kent State commit, Kalocay came up with a rebound off a Norwin missed 3-pointer and went in for a layup with 11 seconds left to ice it.
The Panthers had to push back Norwin, which trailed by 13 in the first half but took its first lead with 2 minutes, 30 seconds remaining in the fourth on a 3-pointer by Bella Furno.
Norwin went on a 9-0 run to finally pull ahead. But the Panthers scored the game’s last eight points to claim the title.
“This is everything I thought it would be,” Serio said. “It’s very rare for a team to lead the entire game like that, lose the lead with two minutes to go, then come back to win. We had to fight and claw and dig deep.”
Two years ago, USC point guard and captain Samantha Prunzik broke her arm in the WPIAL semifinals and the top-seeded Panthers lost to North Allegheny in the championship game.
“After the last couple years, this is a lot more special,” Serio said.
Ryan Prunzik, who made her first appearance in these playoffs after resting her own knee injury, came up big this time as she added 11 points for the Panthers, who beat Norwin in two of three meetings this season.
“Ryan worked her butt off,” Serio said.
Kalocay called Prunzik the team’s rock.
Ava Christopher was the only Norwin player in double figures with 11 points. She helped spark the comeback.
Furno’s go-ahead 3 followed a pull-up jumper from Christopher that tied it 37-37 with 2:53 left.
But Kalocay delivered a 3 of her own and Prunzik made a layup as the Panthers regained the lead at 42-40 with 57.8 seconds to play.
“Kalocay is a nice player and we knew that,” said Norwin coach Brian Brozeski, who had been 3-0 in WPIAL title games. “But some of their other girls played well, too. Their forwards gave them a spark.”
Kalocay then grabbed a rebound in traffic and went the distance for a layup to make it 45-40. Norwin was out of time.
Norwin nearly overcame a bad first half in its bid for a repeat like the 2014-15 and ‘15-‘16 teams did.
The Knights shot 30.4% from the field before halftime (7 of 23), including 0 for 6 from 3, as they fell behind 23-15.
Upper St. Clair, meantime, got hot from behind the arc and made five 3s in the opening 16 minutes.
The Panthers made 14 3s against the Knights in a section game earlier in the season.
Norwin was much better in the second half — 10 for 22, 45% — but couldn’t hold on to its late lead.
“They played is hard man-to-man,” Brozeski said. “They are a gritty defensive team.
“This was the closest (6A) bracket I have ever been involved with.”
Meredith Huzjak had eight points, all in the first quarter, for the Panthers.
Norwin made a push in the third, finally solving its 3-point dilemma as Furno and Christopher made back-to-back 3s, Christopher at the buzzer, to close the gap to 33-27.
Averi Brozeski scored off a steal, and Liz Yarosik made a layup to get Norwin within 35-31 in the fourth.
Norwin’s leading scorer, Kendall Berger, was held in check with six points.
“They prioritized me and didn’t let me get open,” Berger said.
USC cooled off after a hot start — it shot 37.8% (17 of 45) — but made defensive stops and kept its composure when Norwin encroached.
Serio and Brian Brozeski showed mutual respect for one another.
“I’m glad for Pete after all he has been through,” Brian Brozeski said. “He is a great guy and deserves this.
“This is going to be tough on our girls for a while.”
Both teams will open the PIAA playoffs Friday.
USC will host Manheim Township (19-8), while Norwin travels to play Altoona (23-2).
Upper St. Clair’s boys team won a WPIAL championship Friday night. Since the WPIAL started crowning girls champions in 1971, only four times has one school swept the boys and girls titles in the largest classification. Upper St. Clair joins Mt. Lebanon in 2010, Upper St. Clair in 1996 and Penn Hills in 1987 on the list.
Norwin was trying to make it a Westmoreland County sweep at the Pete. Three county teams, the Greensburg Central Catholic girls and Belle Vernon and Jeannette boys, won WPIAL titles over the last three days.

“I was going to get emotional whether we won or lost because I knew it was over,” Serio said after Upper St. Clair lost to powerful Perkiomen Valley, 58-27, in the PIAA Class 6A girls final at Giant Center. “Yeah, it hurts to lose like that. But to me, it’s about the six seniors, and it’s over.
Upper St. Clair is losing an accomplished senior class led by Kent State recruit Rylee Kalocay, and Serio shared after the game that he also is stepping down as coach after 11 seasons with the Panthers.
It comes a month after winning a WPIAL title.
“I love these kids,” Serio said. “What a ride they’ve given me this last year. I’m so glad they talked me into coming back. We’ve had so much fun. I know that’s why we’re so upset.”
But their ultimate storybook ending wasn’t to be.
Upper St. Clair made only nine baskets against a fierce Perkiomen Valley defense, a tough scoring night that quickly doomed the Panthers’ state title hopes. The District 1 champion led 30-12 at halftime and brought on the 30-point mercy rule late in the third quarter.
The Panthers were held to quarter totals of seven, five, seven and eight points.
“Our goal was to play until we couldn’t anymore,” Kalocay said of stretching her senior year. “Sure, it didn’t end up the way we wanted, but we played until we couldn’t. That’s really all you can ask for.”
This was USC’s second matchup this season with Perkiomen Valley. The Panthers lost by six points when they hosted the team from Montgomery County in December.
This time, the Perkiomen Valley upped its defense and Upper St. Clair shot only 23% from the field (9 for 38). The Panthers went 3 for 17 from beyond the arc.
Kalocay led with 10 points on 3 of 17 shooting.
“The way they played against us in December and from the film I’ve watched, that’s the best defense I’ve seen them play all year,” Serio said. “They were all over the place. They were everywhere.”
This was the first PIAA title for Perkiomen Valley (28-3), which was making its state finals debut. Upper St. Clair (23-7) was there for only the second time after winning a Class 4A title in 1999.
Quinn Boettinger, a 6-foot-3 senior and Navy recruit, led Perkiomen Valley with 16 points. Senior Grace Galbavy, a 6-foot guard headed to Wake Forest, scored 14 points.
“That team is really good,” Serio said. “I knew it. I didn’t want to say it and have a defeatist attitude going in, but they’re really good. They have two Division I players and two Division II players. They have four scholarship players, and they shot the crap out of the ball tonight.”
Boettinger went 8 for 14 shooting, and Galbavy made 7 of 13.
Perkiomen Valley coach Jon Russo said he used that early season visit to Upper St. Clair as essentially a scouting trip. Russo said he considered the Panthers to be a top four team in the state, so he was anticipating a playoff rematch.
“I knew we might see them again, so I told the girls we weren’t game planning, we’re just playing basketball,” he said. “Let me get my eyes on them and figure out what I can do to help you next time we see them.”
Russo said his team’s defensive focus was on limiting Upper St. Clair’s looks at 3-pointers. Perkiomen Valley decided it would rather USC face Boettinger in the paint.
“We figured if Kalocay can beat us going to the basket over and over again, we lose,” Russo said. “But if we can take away their 3s, we feel like our team can outscore anybody with 2s. You have to hit 3s to beat us.”
Perkiomen Valley had a 36-12 edge in points in the paint.
But the Vikings also had a 16-3 advantage in second-chance points and led 17-2 in fast-break points.
“Once things started going poorly, we never seemed to recover,” Serio said. “We never got that momentum boost that we kind of needed.”
Serio, 65, went 152-104 in 11 seasons at Upper St. Clair, where his wife Suzie McConnell-Serio was his top assistant for the past seven years. He previously coached at Bishop Canevin, Mt. Lebanon and Peters Township, compiling 299 career wins.
“He tried to get loose last year but we wouldn’t let him,” Kalocay said. “We wouldn’t let him leave without a gold WPIAL medal. It’s been our goal for the longest time.”
Upper St. Clair’s Olivia Terlecki drives to the basket against Baldwin on Jan. 18.
Clair could not quite put away Garnet Valley in Friday’s PIAA Class 6A girls basketball semifinals
the Panthers were tied with the Jags at James Buchanan High School
But outside shooting by Meredith Huzjak and Olivia Terlecki finally gave the WPIAL champions the margin they needed in a 53-49 victory
Huzjak’s second 3-point basket of the game put Upper St
Clair up 40-37 one possession in the last quarter
and Terlecki followed with her fifth 3-point basket of the game to extend that lead
but 8-for-12 free throw shooting in the last two minutes did
as the Panthers held on to clinch their first PIAA championship game appearance since winning the title in 1999
including 5-for-6 shooting from beyond the arc
“I wasn’t feeling it in wamups,” Terlecki said
“But sometimes when you don’t feel it in warmups
Rylee Kalocay was keeping warm on both sides of the court
Clair’s last hoop with 3:59 to go for a 45-39 lead
But just as important was her steal by the defensive baseline in the final minute to protect a 51-46 lead
She hit the last two free throws for the Panthers with 10.5 seconds to go to seal the win
Ryan Prunzik provided four of the points in between Kalocay’s scores to keep Garnet Valley at bay
“Playing for each other,” was how Kalocay described the Panthers’ fourth quarter
“We get more excited when our teammates score than when we score.”
Awaiting the Panthers in the state championship game is Perkiomen Valley (27-3)
next Friday at Hershey’s Giant Center
who held Hershey’s chocolate bars with her teammates during the postgame celebration
said the Panthers have to make sure they get the five-pound version that comes with the state championship trophy
“We need to get one of those,” Kalocay said
Terlecki added that she felt playing against a taller team like the Jags was a good tuneup for the championship contest
a good team to play against now,” Terlecki said
The Panthers had a slow start and found themselves down 13-5 midway through the first period
but Terlecki’s putback got them within 13-10 at the end of the opening stanza
Terlecki stayed hot through the second quarter with three 3-point makes
The Jags scored the last four points of the half to knot it 23-23 at intermission
The game was again tied at the end of the third quarter
who had been held scoreless in the first half
A free throw by Kalocay with 4.7 seconds left in the period evened the score

The Panthers took control of the game in the first half thanks to a couple of big finishes to end the first two quarters
USC led in the final minute-plus of the first quarter by one point
but a couple of 3-pointers by senior guards Gianni DiSora and Nico Gidas
who beat the buzzer with his long-range shot
put the Panthers up 15-8 after one quarter
Clair scored the last seven points of the first half to go from up eight to leading by 15 points at the break

Clair played a role in the very slow start to its quarterfinal playoff game against visiting Woodland Hills on Thursday
the Panthers were able to find their scoring touch and slowly pull away from the Wolverines
Both teams struggled in the opening eight minutes
missing shots from the perimeter as well as layups and putbacks
Clair leading Woodland Hills by the paltry score of 4-3
USC coach Danny Holzer did not think rust had anything to do with his team’s blah start on offense
because (the layoff) was the same type of thing we faced last year
We kept it to the script of the same thing we did last year,” he said
we had some jitters and missed a couple of layups
our defense kept us in it until we loosened up and hit a couple of shots.”
Both teams picked up the offense in the second quarter
the Panthers and Wolverines combined for nine points in the first 90 seconds of the second quarter after scoring only seven points in the entire first stanza
the Panthers went on a 7-0 run that put them in front for good
There was concern three minutes into the game for USC when 6-foot-10 senior forward Tyler Robbins had his hands on a defensive rebound
He walked off on his own but was a spectator the rest of the first quarter
he was a “big” reason why the Panthers took control by outscoring the Wolverines 21-12 in the quarter
The USC guards were able to distribute the basketball to him down on the blocks where he was impossible to stop
altered shooting angles and created several turnovers with his long reach
“He’s a game changer for us,” Holzer said
“He does a really good job with his body and his length so he’s not making contact and picking up fouls
“We have a lot of different components to our defense
I think we pressure the ball well and do a good job of defending people’s actions
Plus we always have Tyler to take care of the paint area.”
The Panthers had four players in double-digit scoring led by Tyler Robbins with 17 points
Senior guard Nico Gidas was perfect at the foul line and hit two 3-pointers to finish with 14 points
Younger brother Ryan Robbins had a strong third quarter
and senior forward Kaamil Jackson tallied 11 points as well
Electric Wolverines junior guard Scoop Smith led all scorers with 22 points
leaving him 12 points shy of 1,000 for his career
He’ll have to wait until next year for that milestone as Woodland Hills’ season — and five-game winning streak — ends with a 12-12 record

Upper St. Clair’s Tyler Robbins gets ready for the opening tip against William Penn in the PIAA Class 6A first round Saturday.
Clair boys basketball team’s offense
They can play zone in an effort to shut down the Panthers’ big men inside
or they can go man to man to defend their talented guards
On Saturday in a PIAA Class 6A first-round playoff game
Neither game plan worked as the Panthers stormed out to a big early lead and cruised into Round 2 of the state playoffs with a convincing win over the Bearcats
“To come out and shoot the ball well was really big,” Upper St
we’ve been shooting the ball really well the last part of the season
All of those guys are capable and each one of them can shoot it.”
York William Penn came out in a tight 2-1-2 zone to limit USC’s height advantage with 6-foot-10 senior Tyler Robbins underneath the hoop
the Panthers guards said thank you very much and took advantage of the space behind the arc and started drilling 3-pointers
Four 3s before the midway point of the opening quarter put Upper St
Junior Jake Foster hit two 3s while seniors Julian Dahlem and Nico Gidas also connected on outside shots
“That’s what makes us a really special team
We have multiple guys who can shoot it,” Holzer said
“That’s what makes us tough to guard
It really makes it difficult when we have both the inside and outside game going.”
the Bearcats switched to a man-to-man defense and the Panthers started to get the ball to Robbins
The lead for USC by the end of the first quarter was 21-4
“Our guys hit a lot of 3s and that helps a lot,” Robbins said
“Jake Foster had a good (game) shooting
Hitting those 3s definitely opens things up inside.”
The icing on the cake near the end of the big opening quarter for Upper St
Clair was a sweet alley-oop slam dunk by Tyler Robbins off a lob by Dahlem to cap off a two-on-one break that erupted the big home crowd
“Julian kind of got loose like he typically does and just threw it up,” Robbins said
“I will usually just point to let him know to throw it up.”
Tyler wasn’t the only one in the Robbins household to enjoy the 37-point mercy rule rout for USC
“Little” brother Ryan Robbins enjoyed a big game off the bench for the Panthers
The 6-7 sophomore just missed a double-double with nine points and 10 rebounds
“We call him the monster because he plays like that,” Holzer said laughing
and he has good feet and hands for his size
Clair offense seems to be improving each game
The Bearcats were limited to only 10 first-half points and were 3 of 23 for 13% shooting from the field in the first half
and we work hard on our half-court defense,” Holzer said
and the kids know how important it is to us.”
Senior Tyson Smith and junior Jalen Swope each had eight points for the Bearcats
who end their season losing their last four games and finishing 19-10
Twelve USC players contributed to the scoresheet in the state first-round win led by Tyler Robbins with 15 points

Pittsburgh Union Progress
Clair fans held up two fingers during the closing seconds of Friday’s WPIAL Class 6A championship
signaling that their team was about to win a second consecutive title
Fueling the Panthers’ race to a repeat wasn’t two
Clair enjoyed a significant height advantage Friday against No
that propelled the Panthers to a 65-43 win at Pitt’s Petersen Events Center
It was the third WPIAL title in five seasons and fifth overall for Upper St
which became only the fifth team in the past 40 years to repeat as champions in the largest class
The last to do it was Pine-Richland in 2016 and 2017
with one of its titles coming in Class 4A (before the expansion to six classes) and the other in Class 6A
Nobody has done it at the 6A level and nobody has done it at St
so we’re the first,” said senior center Tyler Robbins
“I’ll obviously hope they do it again next year and get a three-peat
which also started 6-6 Kaamil Jackson and brought 6-7 Ryan Robbins off the bench
New Castle’s tallest players were 6-4 and 6-3
which was looking to break a tie with Aliquippa and win a record 15th title
devoted a lot of attention to defending Upper St
That allowed the Panthers to get some clean looks from the perimeter
and they took advantage of it by going 8 of 17 from 3-point range
with Nico Gidas accounting for three of them
“That’s the one thing that can’t happen,” said New Castle coach Ralph Blundo
“You hate to go into a game giving something up
and to some degree you are because it requires so much help and so much attention.”
Clair’s 3-pointers came during a first half that saw the teams deadlocked
following a 3-pointer by New Castle’s Damian Harrison with 1:33 left
using a 6-0 run to close the half as the Panthers surged to a 29-23 lead on Gianni Disora’s steal and layup in the final seconds
and we carried that momentum into the locker room and brought it back out with us,” Robbins said
but we just kind of played well in the third quarter
Clair limited New Castle to 6 points on 2-of-14 shooting in the third quarter and led
The Red Hurricanes got no closer than 11 points the rest of the way
Clair’s accuracy from 3-point range might have surprised some
but its outstanding play defensively should not have stunned anyone
The Panthers came in with one of the WPIAL’s top scoring defenses at 39 points per game
They would hold New Castle to 32% shooting (17 of 53) and limit the Red Hurricanes to their fewest points since scoring 39 in a loss to Imhotep Charter in the PIAA final in 2022
Ralphie Blundo led New Castle with 13 points and Harrison added 11
who was averaging a team-high 17 points per game
“When we shoot well and we can go inside out
who won his fifth title in the same season he picked up his 500th career win
“There’s no doubt we’re a pretty good high school team
I think our half-court defense is just tremendous
but [Julian Dahlem] and the rest of our perimeter guys are athletic and tough
We have two levels on defense that are pretty tough to beat when we are playing together
and we’ve pretty much done that the entire year.”
Clair got 11 points from Gidas and 10 from Jake Foster
and we came out and dominated,” Dahlem said
Holzer had a big smile on his face when speaking about this team
and the way it ended the WPIAL season as it started
“and that’s hard to do at any level in any sport.”
