CLARION, Pa. (D9Sports.com) -They had already become the first District 9 team in 12 years to play in, let alone lose, three one-point games in a season. The Kane Wolves were in no mood to make more of that kind of history.
Considering the history would’ve been the first team to lose in three straight championship games, no question the Wolves happily enjoyed their second district title after beating the Brockway Rovers, 33-14, Friday night.
“I’m just glad that stat still stands,” said Wolves head coach Todd Silfies, whose team lost to Karns City in the last two Class AA finals before dropping to Class A this year. “It feels great.
“Our guys were extremely hungry tonight,” Silfies added. “We talked about it more than we normally would actually. Gold is a lot better than silver. And we know that now.”
Kane lands in the PIAA quarterfinals next week against District 10 champion Sharpsville, a 29-14 winner over West Middlesex also on Friday night. The game will be played at a D10 site and time to be announced.
