If you don’t know, now you know. Jeannette is 2-6-1 all time against Clairton but the Jays are winners of two straight. The first game ended in a 0-0 tie back in 1915 and the other games have been played since Jeannette dropped to Single A.

What’s at stake? With a win Friday night, Jeannette would claim its 27th conference title, 21st undefeated regular season, a home playoff game, and the likely #1 see in the WPIAL playoffs. Sounds like a big game to me!!

#4 Jayhawk Opponent Myron Pottios. He scored a Charleroi TD in the ‘56 title game loss to Jeannette. He then starred at Notre Dame and was selected in the 2nd round of the ‘61 draft by the Steelers. 5 rounds later the Steelers also selected Dick Hoak.

What’s at stake part 2? With a win Friday night Jeannette would claim three straight conference titles for the first time since ‘01, ‘02, and ‘03. This would also be the first back-to-back undefeated regular seasons since ‘02, ‘03 under Bob Murphy.

You can watch this one live Friday on WSN!

#3 Jayhawk Opponent Brian Davis. The Wash High back ran for 229 yards against the Hawks in the 1983 semifinals as a junior. In ‘84 Davis was the national high school player of the year. He went on to play at Pitt but left after his freshman year and never played again.

If you don’t know now you know. The Jayhawks have won championships in eight different WPIAL Conferences. Here is the breakdown...

#2 Jayhawk Opponent Russ Grimm. The only hall of famer on the list, Grimm threw 2 TDS and had 2 INTs on defense in a 1975 28-20 Southmoreland win over Jeannette. He then went to Pitt, where he switched to OL. He played for the Redskins and was a hall of fame inductee in 2010.

Throwback Thursday!! James “Buster” Clarkson is known for his accomplishments in baseball but he was a fine football player as well. He was a standout halfback for the 1932 WPIAL Championship team. He scored a 55-yrd TD against Greensburg in the final game

#1 Jayhawk Opponent Darrelle Revis. Revis Island started at Aliquippa in the early 2000’s and will end in the Hall of Fame. He had 121 total yards in an 18-4 win over the Hawks in the 2003 Championship game. He then starred at Pitt and was a 7-time NFL Pro Bowler.

Gameday!! Go back two years ago to Jeannette’s first ever win against Clairton. You can also see Robert Kennedy’s one-handed catch against his helmet at about the 42 minute mark. tribhssn.triblive.com/broadcast/?id=…

We started ten days ago in preparation for tonight’s big game. Here is the recap of the 10 greatest Jayhawk Opponents. Do you disagree?? Did I miss someone?? Let me know and Go Hawks!!

Anyone want some cereal from 1997? Might not taste very good 22 years later...

And the back of the box...

If you don’t know, now you know. Since the PIAA has gone to six classifications, 18 WPIAL champions have been been crowned. Of those 18, 11 have lost in the regular season. That’s 61% of champions who lost a regular season game. Still plenty of football to be played!!

Under Roy Hall the Jayhawks are 7-1 in first round playoff games. The only loss was a 30-22 defeat to the Freeport Yellow Jackets in 2010. The Hawks have only lost 8 first round games since 1990.

Jeannette and Sto-Rox have only played one other time. The Hawks defeated the Vikings 21-6 in the quarterfinals of the 1997 playoffs. The 2nd contest ever will be played Friday night at Sto-Rox with kickoff set for 7pm...

With a win Friday night against Blackhawk, the Greensburg Salem football team will earn the 700th win in school history. Jeannette gave Greensburg 22 of those wins and the last time the two teams played was in the 1972 playoffs. Salem is 22-16-2 all time against Jeannette.

Throwback Thursday!! Last week it was Buster Clarkson, this week it is nephew Marcus Clarkson. The Jeannette baseball coach was also a pretty good running back in the early 90s. His senior year he was a member of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette Fabulous 22 East Team...

If you don’t know now you know. Jeannette has not opened the playoffs as a road team since 2006. That year the Jays traveled to Laurel in the opening round and won 22-14. That would be one of the closest playoff games that year before a loss to Wilson in the state title game.
