On Monday 3-16-09, the Bentworth School Board hired our new football coach - Coach Lou Rood.

He's been Coaching at the high school level for over 25-years.  During his head coaching time, as well as his many years as an assistant at BVA, he's been a part of staffs that have captured 9 Conference Championships, 6 appearances in the WPIAL AAA semi-finals, and 3 trips to the WPIAL Championships - where they won in 1995.

Seniors RJ Cline and Andrew Hoye were selected to play in this year's Tri-County All Star Game.  This year's Tri-County Coaches Association Football Classic was hosted by South Fayette in their beautiful new High School Football Stadium, Saturday evening - June 20th.

Final Score:  North 29  --  South 18


As the story-line reads....Char-Houston's "Banas does it all".  Even though he put up all the numbers for our side, look who made it to the front page of Sunday morning's O-R Sports page.  There, in BIG "Black & Gold", none other than our own "Big Guy" RJ Cline.

To see the picture, you'll have to get your hands on this morning's issue, but you could read the article here on the
Observer-Reporter Sports page


The score was North 29 - South 6, thru to the third quarter.  Then a hard to follow "mercy-rule" was put in place that seemed to put the ball in the hands of the South for the remainder of the game.


Penalty flags were-a-flyin!!  They ate up a lot of the second half, a half that seemed a bit more edgier than you would think an All Star game should be - probably due to a frustrated South.  But overall, it was a good game. 


Our Congratulations go out to RJ and Andrew for a job Well Done!  Good Luck Guys!!
