ALLISON PARK, PA-- It’s not fun having your fate in someone else’s hands. Hampton knew that coming into their 2025 season finale against West Mifflin. 

Hampton came into Friday night not mathematically eliminated from playoff contention, but more so out than in. It’s something that was on the minds of the players all week. One game to decide their season. 

Regardless of the outcome, the 2025 season would be an improvement over their two previous seasons. In 2023 and 2024, the Talbots finished the season with a 3-7 record. This included a disastrous finish to the 2024 campaign. Something that head coach Steve Sciullo called “unacceptable” earlier in the season. 

Hampton’s defense was the story once again in their 15-13 win over the West Mifflin Titans in Week 10. With the big spectacle of senior night, with the players walking through the big arched balloon that says “Hampton Talbots” across the top, all the feels were set in before the opening kickoff. 

But the senior night festivities were put in the back of mind on the opening possession of the game. Evan McAneny had a rare fumble that was run back for a touchdown to tilt the field in West Mifflin’s direction almost immediately. 

The Talbots, to their credit, did not panic. Not one bit. As soon as they got their hands on the football next, they marched right down the field and scored a touchdown themselves. However, the Titans would block the point after to retain their lead at 7-6. 

It was a relatively sluggish night for the Hampton offense as they barely could move the ball up and down the field for most of the night. The only chunk yardage plays the Talbots got were from the multitude of personal foul penalties the Titans committed post-play. 

But even with a slow night, coach Sciullo was pleased with how the offense kept persevering despite not moving the ball effectively. 

“We just kept fighting," Sciullo said. "That’s what this game is a lot of the time. Who can endure the most and survive. And tonight, it was us.” 

The keyword in that quote was “survive”. Bot teams had to endure the cold, sharp air all night long. This resulted in multiple fumbles throughout the night. Something that even baffled the head coach. 

But what kept the Talbots’ season alive was the outstanding play on defense. The Talbots played a similar game from a couple of weeks ago against Chartiers Valley. 

Bend, but don’t break. Or at least don’t break too much. 

Hampton had allowed the Titans' offense to move the ball down the field effectively through a good portion of the night. The Titans relied on their star running back, Armand Hill, who came into the game with over 1,100 yards rushing, to find the gaps in the Talbot defense. 

He did a lot on Friday night, which included finding the edge on some big rushes when the Titans moved the ball east and west. On one of those east-west plays, Hill found the edge off the left side and found the endzone on a 32-yard score, which would be the only offensive touchdown the Titans scored all night. Something Defensive coordinator Dan Gigler was very pleased about. 

“That was our focus this week, the running back,” Gigler said. “I told the kids before the game he’s going to rip off a big run at some point. So, when it happens, [because we knew it was going to happen, we can’t hang our heads. We just need to turn the page and keep moving forward. They step up to the challenge this week, though. We kind of knew that this was a little bit one-dimensional. Really good at running the football with [Hill], and that was our focus this week. And put a big emphasis on it, and our guys stepped up to it.” 

One guy in particular was defensive back Shane Restori 

Restori had two interceptions that helped tilt the field in Hampton’s direction. In the third quarter, Restori intercepted West Mifflin quarterback Zawaun Glover at the goal line, followed by a 47-yard return to set the Talbots up nicely and close to Titan territory. 

“I saw the alignment they had on the offense, and I just made a play and broke on the ball and played a play for the team,” Restori said. 

The defense was outstanding all night. They did what they’ve been doing all season, making splash plays when splash was needed. 

“I think we played great,” Restori said. “I think that’s a good way to end the season or to keep it going if we got playoffs, but this is a great way. We just played awesome, we shut [them] down. Good all around, every single one of us.” 

Now with the season officially over, the Talbots will look to build upon a strong defense heading into next season. Something that Dan Gigler is looking for is how the underclass will step up next year in bigger roles.

“The underclass that play for us, the juniors and sophomores that played for us tonight, were going to rely on them to be leaders, not next season but in the offseason,” Gigler said. “And getting guys to buy in when we start in February. Because I think there's a good group of juniors on this team. That are vocal. And good compassionate leaders, and I think we need to rely on those guys moving forward.” 

The offseason will be long and short. Workouts start in February, as Gigler mentioned. And the coaching staff will have a lot to ponder on in these coming months. As for the team, the underclassmen, Gigler spoke about will be given their opportunity to show what kind of leaders they are. 

Something Gigler is looking forward to. It’s not easy ending the season this way. It really isn’t. But even with all the missed opportunities on the field, this team competed hard. Every practice and every Friday night. 

Something Steve Sciullo loved about this group of Talbots. You could hear it in his voice when he spoke about it. 

“These kids fought the whole time," Sciullo said. “They played their butts off all year long. I was so proud of the way they closed the season. The way they played with class and dignity. Proud of them, the way they fought the whole year, and the way they finished the season at home.”

ALLISON PARK, PA-- Hampton’s football season is officially over. 

The committee has decided to give the Chartiers Valley Colts the eighth and final seed in the 2025 WPIAL Class 4A playoffs. 

It’s something that Hampton was aware of Friday night after their 15-13 win over the West Mifflin Titans in their 2025 season finale. 

Chartiers Valley had the head-to-head win over Hampton when they defeated the Talbots 22-13 in Week 5. In that game, the Talbots ' defense played very well and kept Hampton at least within striking distance. 

When asked about his thoughts were about the season in general, head coach Steve Sciullo made it known that opportunities were left on the table. 

“Missed opportunities cost us a special room," Sciullo said. "We had a few missed opportunities in the Armstrong game. And a few missed opportunities in the [Chartiers] Valley game. 7-3 looks a lot better than 5-5 and probably helps us in the wild card.” 

That Chartiers Valley game will be on the minds of the coach and the returning players for some time. The offense awarded the Colts 8 points in the game. Take away those 8 points (plus an extra point) and it’s a tie ball game. 

In the Armstrong game, Hampton blew a multi-score lead heading into the fourth quarter. The Hawks scored three touchdowns in that fourth quarter to win the game 35-28.

Coach Sciullo sounded proud of the way his team played this season. Even though deep down, you could tell he knew it could be the last team he would have with this group. Despite the uncertainty, the Talbots locker room post-game was still in a celebratory mood. As it should be. They did what they knew needed to be done. Win. 

They controlled what they could control. 

Now, as the offseason begins, Sciullo and the team will have to regroup. The Talbots are losing a lot of contributing seniors. That of Willy Haselrig, Evan McAneny, Jack Halli, and Andrew Carr, just to name a few. 

But they will also be getting back their quarterback, Andrew Reschoff, who suffered a season-ending injury earlier in the year. Along with two dynamic players on defense, Shane Restori and Joey Stephenson. 

This news will leave a bitter taste in Hampton’s mouth. But it will be something to improve upon for next year. A winning culture is on the horizon. Everyone in that locker room can feel it. The Talbots got to keep sharpening the iron. 

“These kids fought the whole time," Sciullo said. “They played their butts off all year long. I was so proud of the way they closed the season. The way they played with class and dignity. Proud of them, the way they fought the whole year, and the way they finished the season at home.”

Football Game Notes vs Mars.pdf

ALLISON PARK, PA—Willy Haselrig is the dawg of dawgs. His presence is felt every time he takes the field on Friday nights. When he’s not the field. You can feel the difference.

His return to the Talbot lineup on Friday night could not have come at a more perfect time. Hampton is fighting for their playoff lives, and with their biggest game of the season next week, it needed Haselrig to boost its offense and team as a whole. He was really excited to get back into game action. 

“It felt really good”, Haselrig said. I was kind of bummed sitting down on the sideline watching my boys play football. Especially last week after the win.” 

His teammates were bummed to see him sit on that sideline, too. Nonetheless, his return boosted a Talbot offense that put up at least 35 points for the second consecutive game.

“It felt really good”, Haselrig said. “Our offense was lacking in the first half of the season. But I think we pumped it up out there, and our defense pumped it up too.” 

Haselrig finished the night with 5 receptions for 107 yards. That’s an average of 21.4 yards per catch. 

Talk about impact and splash. 

“He’s Willy Frickin Haselrig”, as head coach Steve Sciullo put it more modestly. “He’s one of our best players.” And that’s all we ask him to go out and be. Just be himself and go make plays and do what he does.”

And for the record, coach Sciullo did use the word “frickin”. I have it on audio record for proof.

Make plays is all he does indeed. He’s really good at splash. 

Splash is something Hampton will rely on going into next week against Mars. 

“We face them every year,” Haselrig said. “We know what they do, we know they're going to try and run the ball and throw screen passes. So, I think that’s what we're going to prepare for on defense.”

Haselrig’s return came at a perfect time. With the big game next week and Hampton fighting for a playoff position, the Talbots need the roster as healthy as it can be. 

Haselrig knows what this upcoming game means. And he wants to do his best to prepare. 

“I’m going to work on running my routes crisper and try to score some touchdowns to get us the win,” said Haselrig. 

Haselrig and the Talbots face off against the Planets next Friday night at Planet Stadium. 

ALLISON PARK, PA—As the saying goes, “Defense wins championships”. But what wins championships? Games. And Hampton leaned on that “dawg” mentality in their 38-0 win vs the Knoch Knights on Friday night.  

And in this game, Hampton’s defense game together as a collective unit to pitch its first shutout of the season. Over the last two games, Hampton’s defense has allowed a combined 7 points. That’s it. All be it, against teams that don’t have strong records, but 7 points is 7 points allowed, no matter the level of football.

“It’s the leadership”, Defensive Coordinator Dan Gigler said. “Coach just talked about Andrew Carr, Gavrie Goetzman, Joe Stephenson; those are guys I lean on, on the field. I told all those guys they have to think like us coaches when they're on the field. And they took it upon themselves to speak to each other this week, make good decisions, talk to each other, and communicate. So important key aspects of the game tonight, that’s why we had success; it's all on those guys.” 

For the second week in a row, Andrew Carr was flying around like a Ford Mustang out there. More specifically, like the Mustang that Steve McQueen drove around San Fransico in that iconic car chase scene in the 1968 classic “Bullitt.”  If there was a big defensive moment in the game, you could bet your mortgage that #7 was part of it. He and Gavrie Goetzman were the best players defensively. Hands down. 

“Fantastic,” head coach Steve Scuillo said. [Andrew Carr] and Gavrie Goetzman are our scorpion position; played awesome tonight. They were our dog chain player of the game; dogs of the week.” 

For reference, the team has a big chain that has the Talbot logo around it that is handed out at the end of each game. 

But the defense has been playing great. Opponents aside. And everyone is pleased to see the unit come together after getting gashed twice in three weeks. 

“[The defense] been playing great the last two weeks”, Sciullo said. “7 points in the last two games is awesome. And we just [want to] make sure we go there to Mars and stop their run game and make them beat us another way instead of handing to [Ayden] Yocum.”

The defense will need to have its best game of the season next week. Yes, the defense has only allowed 7 points the last two weeks, but the Mars Planets are a much better team than the Indians and the Knights, with all due respect. Mars put up 56 points against the Knights last week and 46 against the West Mifflin Titans the week prior. But the Planets can be stopped. Mars has been held to under 20 points three times this season. It's something Hampton will need to study this week during film sessions. 

“We have to stop Yocum,” Sciullo said. 

He’s right. To say the least.

Ayden Yocum just tourched the McKeesport Tigers. He finished the night with 24 carries for 234 yards and 2 touchdowns. This included a 93-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. Mars will have a fire lit underneath. They’re coming off a 56-31 loss to McKeesport. 

The Talbots know this. Everyone will bring their best next Friday. 

“[Mars] is definitely a well-coached team, Gigler said. We’ve known that for a couple of years now. They have some good players this year. So, I think we just have to come in tomorrow. Break down what we did tonight and start to look at them ahead. And I think the way our seniors play on defense it's helped us a lot. We’ll have to see what Mars does; it's hard to say right now. But our seniors their focused, and the way they communicate on the field helps us along the way.” 

Mars and Hampton is like the Steelers-Ravens rivalry. Pine-Richland-North Allegheny. Yankees-Red Sox. 

Okay. I think you get the point. 

This week's practices will need to be the best Hampton has had all season. Not just because it's “Mars week” but because they are fighting for their playoff lives. Hampton now stands around the 10^th seed position in the WPIAL Class 4A standings. The top eight teams make it in. Hampton will need a lot of help along the way. But they need to help themselves first. There is no question they need to win out to make the postseason. But one week at a time. Like I said, it's “Mars week”. 

Willy Haselrig's return to the lineup was a big boost to the Talbot offense that already had been performing well in his absence. Willy’s impact was felt on Friday night. Hampton needs all the help it can get from a health standpoint. Something that has been up and down this season. 

Hampton’s biggest game will be watched by many. It always is. But back to the main point of a good week at practice, Hampton will put up a dog fight with the high-powered Mars offense. And what do they need to improve upon for Mars? 

“Continue to stop the run,” Sciullo said. “And play the pass with the guys we play the pass with.” 

Simple. That’s all that’s needed. 

They handled business against Indiana and Knoch. Two teams that they needed to handle business against. That was step one. Step two. Mars. They’ll get to step three when they get to step three. 

Playoffs are in sight. One step at a time. This team knows who they can be if they are let into that tournament. It's fun to see this team come together over the course of a long season that passes quickly. And we see what happens to teams when they get hot at the right time. 

The days get shorter and the road gets narrower. But these dawgs continue to grind every day. Everyone notices it. Their hard work is paying off. 

Mars next.

Hampton returns home for senior night on October 24^th when they host the West Mifflin Titans. And after that. Who knows. 

 >

ALLISON PARK, PA-- A lot can go wrong in a season. A lot can go right as well. Tonight, the right heavily outweighed the wrong. Hampton came into Friday night, only scoring points 23-points offensively in their previous 3 games combined. But all was forgotten from the opening possession. 

Hampton put 21 points on the board in the first half against Indiana alone en route to a 35-7 win. Hampton’s offense struggled mightily leading into the game, but finally came alive in the critical conference win. 

“It felt great; it was good,” said head coach Steve Sciullo. “It’s been a tough few weeks, so it was nice to get out here and win.” 

Hampton had been getting some offensive production from Willy Haselrig, but with Haselrig still sidelined with an injury, Hampton looked to others for offensive production. Specifically, Jack Halli, who has been a Swiss Army Knife for the Talbots. He contributed to all facets of the game with two touchdowns, a reception on a fake punt, and his team's leading fourth interception. 

“Honestly, I’m happy with my individual performance, Halli said. “But I’m more satisfied with the team. The team really came together in crucial moments, and we really stuck it to them tonight, and it felt good to get that losing streak out of the way and get a win under our belt again.” 

The biggest task for Halli was when he was called upon to fill in at quarterback when Andrew Reschoff went down with an injury. This isn’t the first time Halli has filled in at quarterback. He helped fill in for Reschoff when he was out earlier in the season. But with both Haselrig and Reschoff out, Halli will be used as the interim quarterback for the foreseeable future. Coach Sciullo was also happy with how he handled getting thrown into the game at a critical point. His teammate Evan McAneny was pretty impressed with his performance. 

“He did great, McAneny said of Halli. “He offers more of a running aspect to our offense, and that really helps productively in the run game, so they don’t have to key in on me, one guy.” 

Speaking of Evan McAneny, he was the other big contributor in the win. McAneny had 17 carries for 108 yards in the first half alone. He found his holes and attacked them with purpose, grinding out every yard possible. 

“It was a good time,” McAneny said. Definitely got the ball rolling in the 1^st half, at the end of the 1^st half.” I was definitely pretty productive. 2^nd half started a little slower, and then we really hammered it down and put the game away.” 

They put the game away a lot sooner than that. The Talbots were rolling. They put four consecutive touchdowns on the board before missing a field goal on their fifth possession. Nonetheless, the offense was able to produce points and carry the momentum throughout all four quarters. 

“We were super productive tonight,” McAneny said. “Credit to the O-Line, our tight ends, blocking, receivers, everyone put in a combined effort for our success.” 

McAneny would finish with a whopping 26 carries for 148 yards and 2 touchdowns in a breakout game. It was something that Coach Sciullo wants to see out of his workhorse. 

“Evan played great tonight, Sciullo said. “He’s been wanting to break out; this was a breakout game for him. We want to see him turn it on.”

With Reschoff and Haselrig down, the team will be going through that adversity Sciullo talked about following the loss to Chartiers Valley. There is no question that Sciullo trusts Halli as QB3. Halli is used to stepping into that role. He and McAneny will be taking the bulk of the running game. 

Halli will also look to continue his defensive wizardry. Four interceptions is no easy task in high school football. Just ask Hampton teacher and former legendary basketball coach Joe Lafko, who holds the record for most interceptions in the state of Pennsylvania. Halli’s defense has come up in critical times. Something the Talbots will look to build upon down the stretch.

Speaking of the defense, Andrew Carr was all over the field. He had a couple of tackles for losses that helped stall some of the Indiana drives. The defense has played well over the last few games (with the exception against a few high-quality opponents). Hampton has allowed 20 points in their two home games. Feeding off each other and feeding off the crowd. Defense wins championships, but offense wins games. 

Everyone was happy to see the offense finally getting rewarded after putting in the work and effort, trying to muster any kind of points. 

“We played a few good defenses, “said Sciullo. “It was good to get some points on the board.” 

Sciullo was also commenting on a couple of possessions that weren’t converted in the red zone, and that he wants to see cleaned up before next week. But the offensive productivity was tonight's big factor. 

Even with a big win, there is always room for improvement. While Hampton won by 28, they weren’t perfect. Sciullo mentioned not converting in the red zone, but also, he brought up some of the stuff he wants to see cleaned up before next week, when asked. 

“We [want to] block better; we [want to] tackle better,” Sciullo said. “That’s the base of football. That’s how it's been forever, and that’s what we [want to] do. If we can block, if we can tackle, we've got a good chance of winning.” 

Hampton continues their two-game home stand next week when they host Knoch. 

ALLISON PARK, PA-- Jack Halli has been no stranger to filling in where the team needs him. That proved to be pivotal in the Hampton’s 35-7 win over Indiana on Friday night. 

Halli’s night began on the opening drive when he scored his first touchdown on a 10-yard run to get the Talbots on the board early. He continued to contribute to the scoring when he threw a 2-point conversion pass to Ryan Scully. 

“Honestly, I’m happy with my individual performance, Halli said. “But I’m more satisfied with the team. The team really came together in crucial moments, and we really stuck it to them tonight, and it felt good to get that losing streak out of the way and get a win under our belt again.” 

Later in the quarter, he caught his team leading fourth interception that stopped an opening drive from the Indians. Halli was pumped coming to the sideline as he jolted his teammates. Following the interception, the Talbots' offensive drive stalled, and it appeared Coach Sciullo wanted to punt the ball. But he had other plans. Jake Lucas faked the snap and rolled out to his right and found a wide-open Jack Halli to move the chains and give Hampton the first down yardage. 

Halli was soon called upon again when quarterback Andrew Reschoff went down with an injury, and with Willy Haselrig already out, Halli was trusted with taking the reins behind the center.

“Coach Sciullo at practice, he really sets us up for worst-case if anything were to happen,” Halli said. “Since Andrew [has] been back, I’ve still been taking reps at quarterback during practice, and Coach Sciullo can trust me to be out there on the field if I need to be thrown in that position. Whenever Andrew went down, he threw me in there. He had all his trust in me, and it was great.” 

Halli was able to give life to an offense that had a frustrating couple of games leading into Friday night. The Talbots only put 23 points on the board combined in their previous three games. Halli’s role was pivotal in Hampton’s win.

Halli would cap off his night with a 53-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. He continued to find the gaps in the defense and make the right decisions when it came time to throw the ball. Head coach Steve Sciullo was very impressed with his performance, especially when he took over as quarterback.

“Wonderful man, Sciullo said. “He brings great energy, he was poised tonight, he ran the ball well, he was all over the field. That’s why he was the dog of the week.” [Sciullo’s comments were followed by a mimic of a dog barking].  

Overall, Halli was pleased to see the offense get back on track after a rough couple of weeks. 

“It definitely was mixed emotions there. I’m real happy we finally got into the motion of it again. Especially after our quarterback got hurt and I had to get thrown in there right before halftime, but it definitely felt good to get our offense clicking again.” 

With Haselrig and Reschoff both questionable, Halli has emerged as a reliable QB3. One that Steve Sciullo will look to going into next week. You can almost bet that Halli will be getting more reps at quarterback throughout practice this week. 

 >

ALLISON PARK, PA – All the energy was felt on Friday night as Hampton finally played in front of their faithful for the first time in 364 days. With an inspiring pregame ceremony honoring first responders, and a walkout that featured the players entering down the bleachers through the student section, Fridley Field was juiced up after a long year without football. 

However, that energy quickly died down as the night got off to a rough start. On the opening kickoff, Willy Haselrig sent the crowd into a frenzy with an 80-yard touchdown return, only to be called back due to a holding penalty. 

The miscues only piled up from there, as before Hampton even got off a snap from scrimmage, coach Steve Scuillo had to call a timeout to get his offense all on the same page. While the opening drive looked promising for the Talbots, penalties would end up halting them, which would lead to a punt. 

All the miscues would end up being a big factor in the game as Hampton would have multiple drives stall due to penalties. Coach Scuillo was displeased with how the penalties were a big contributor to the Talbots' 22-13 loss on Friday night. 

“The Talbots can’t beat the Talbots,” coach Steve Scuillo explained. “The amount of penalties we had on offense makes me want to throw up from time to time. I got to be more aggressive in the first half with the play calling, too. Just disappointed tonight, in myself. I thought the kids played really hard.” 

Played hard, they did. The defense, as a collective unit, only allowed 13 points to a Colts team that scored 104 points in their two previous games combined coming into Friday night. This included shutting out the Colts' offense in the entire 2^nd half. The only points that came from Chartiers Valley in the 2^nd half was a pick-six that Julius Best intercepted. This was to the great delight of the coach, who was proud of his defense. 

“I saw some fight and some fire,” Scuillo said passionately. “Football sometimes can be tough. I think the philosophy we use, I’d rather a team do a ten-twelve play drive, make them make mistakes rather than give up big plays, so they’re doing exactly what we're asking them to do. Unfortunately, just wasn’t enough tonight.” 

The offense, however, was never able to get a full footing as the game continued. About midway through the 2^nd quarter, coach Scuillo opted to substitute quarterback Andrew Reschoff, who was easing his way back from injury, with Willy Haselrig, who subbed in for Reschoff when he was out. 

“Andrew came back from his ankle, and we were having issues there,” Scuillo said. “I wanted to give the offense a spark, and Willy provided that.” 

Haselrig’s return was short-lived. About halfway through the 3^rd quarter, Haselrig appeared to have injured his leg. He was evaluated by the trainers and did not return to the game. Coach Scuillo stated that his status is “To be determined,” and they will know more later. 

With any season in sports, there is adversity to be faced. Starting the season with four straight road games is uncomfortable for anyone. Hampton has now lost two in a row and three of the last four. With all that has transpired over the last couple of weeks, coach Scuillo is still impressed with how his squad has handled their own adversity with conference play looming. 

“We play really hard. Our kids play hard,” said Scuillo. “And when adversity strikes, we tend to do alright. We just can’t behind the eight ball again. We’re not necessarily built to come back all the time. But our kids did a great job of fighting and sticking with it.”

With the non-conference games behind them, coach Scuillo wants to see the self-inflicted wounds eliminated, especially on offense. In addition, the Talbots potentially could have a small question mark at quarterback heading into Week 6. With Andrew Reschoff still easing his way back into full-time play and Willy Haselrig’s status unknown, the Talbots will have to rely on their other resources to anchor the backfield, such as Jack Halli and Evan McAneny. Overall, he wants to see his team get back to the basics when asked about what he wants to see cleaned up before next week. 

“Just our execution on offense,” Scuillo said. “When we block the right people, we’re pretty good; when we don’t, we’re not.” That’s football. It sounds simple, but that's why we practice all week… We want to make sure that all the little inches of football are taken care of Monday through Thursday, so on Friday, these guys can go play free and have fun.”

Hampton heads back on the road to open conference play against the McKeesport Tigers next week. They return home on October 3^rd when they host Indiana

Hampton Talbots vs Chartiers Valley Game Notes 

Varsity Football Friday, September 19th, 2025 

>

In a back and forth game that saw the lead change hands several times, the Hampton football team pulled out a thrilling victory against their rival from on Mt. Royal, the Shaler Titans.  The Talbots threw the first punch with a 22 yard TD pass from Haselrig to Borgo to take the 7-0 lead.  Shaler responded take a 14-7 lead into the half.  The Titans extended their lead to 21-7 at the end of the 3rd quarter.  The Talbots didn't waiver and began chip away at the lead in the 4th quarter.  First Evan McAneny burst through the line for a 37 yd TD run. The 2 point conversion was good to cut the lead to 21-15.   Then the Haselrig to Borgo connection struck again with a “you got Mossed” higlight catch to Borgo. PAT was good by Jake Lucas and the Talbots took the lead 22-21 late in the 4th quarter.  Shaler drove the ball to the Talbots 18 yard line with under a minute left in the game and after coming up short on 3rd down sent their kicker out for a 35 yard field goal which was successful.  With no timeouts and starting on their own 35 yard line the Talbots offense began to move the ball down the field.  After a Haselrig run to the Titans 29 yard line and 8 seconds on the clock.  Coach Sciullo sent out Jake Lucas to attempt a 46 yard field goal.  Jake was up to the challenge splitting the uprights with room to spare.  After a toucback and a desperation play with 3 seconds left the Titans were unable to pull any magic and the Talbots take the victory.  Up next for Hampton is a trip to the south hills as they take on 5A Upper St. Clair on September 12, 2025 at 7 pm
