It was Mr. Green in the stadium with the football.
Clairton leads 6-0 at halftime after a 26-yard touchdown run by quarterback Desimon Green with 8:28 left in the second quarter. The Bears missed the extra point, which could prove important. Remember, when these teams played at Heinz Field in 2009, Clairton won, 14-13. That was because Rochester attempted a would-be game-winning two-point conversion with 1:10 left and failed.
Through the first half, defense has dominated. Total yards: Clairton 146, Rochester 42. The cold, windy weather continues to be an issue, especially for the passing games. The two quarterbacks combined have completed 3 of 11 passes for 42 yards and four interceptions.
