Center High School Trojans Football

This is the official site of the Center High School Trojans football team.The 2007 season has now concluded, with many changes having occured with the team, as well as the staff and quarterback club. On the team, we lost much senior leadership, including Nate Glasser, Evan Blankenship, and our starting Quarterback, Carl Farrow just to name a few. Also, the new leadership of the quarterback club board was elected. Additionaly, former Center Head Coach Don Phillips was named as Athletic Director to replace Ray Hoppa, and Jim Vendemia was named Athletic Coordinator. Also, Carla Copple and Lauren Dmitsak were named cheerleading sponsors. Even through all of the changes, the team had a successful camp, played two scrimmages against established AAA teams, and felt well prepared for the always difficult MAC . With new starting quarterback Preston Dawson at the helm, the team traveled to Sto Rox to open the season in MAC Conference play. Preston was injured in the opening minutes of the game, which meant that senior backup quarterback Zack Spearing came in to guide us through the game. Although we played with much heart, we fell short, by a final of 27-26 in overtime. Then, we played host to the Freedom Bulldogs, to continue section play. Our record improved to 1-1, and 1-1 in the conference with a 34-7 win. Next, the team prepared to go into Beaver Falls, where we played the Fighting Tigers, a team we beat last year. Although we scored first, we came up short in the end, falling to Beaver Falls 28-7, which dropped our record to 1-2. Next, we played host to the Ellwood City Wolverenes. Scoring 5 times in the first quarter, we went on to the victory, 59-0. Our next home game was a big one, as we hosted the section leading Beaver Bobcats. That was homecoming. The homecoming queen was Anna Mancini, and the king was Michael Vula. John Fedko's Skylights was in attendance for a packed house, and the Center High School Band was named band of the week. Sarge Alberts Stadium was rocking as our boys played a phenominal game, but fell just short to Beaver, 18-13.Next, we traveled to New Brighton, where we took care of business and came away with a win 35-20. We went to Quaker Valley for our last conference game before our non conference contest with District 10 Franklin. The Quakers came out victoriously on that night, 12-10. We then made the treck to Franklin High School near Oil City, PA. We came out of our only non conference game with a win, 41-7. Our final game of the season was at home on senior night against Aliquippa. Our seniors played a great game as well as the whole team, rallying from 20-0 to a tie in the third quarter, but we ran out of steam and fell to the Quips 36-26. That was the conclusion of our season. We finshed with a 4-5 record overall, and a 3-5 record in the MAC. The Center Quarterback Club thanks anyone and everyone who supported the program this year, and hope to see all of you back next year! Thank You!
