After setting a Pennsylvania single-season record for scoring and capturing its 11th WPIAL football championship the Bears are focused on winning a state championship.
Clairton scored a state-record 958 points in 2014 and have four Division I prospects on their 2015 roster—Aaron Matthews, Harrison Dreher, Noah Hamlin and Lamont Wade.
Wade, an All-American candidate, rushed for a WPIAL-record 2,762 yards and scored 47 total touchdowns last season.
Avonworth, which lost to Clairton in the WPIAL finals, returns 22 seniors, including running back Jamal Hughley and 6-foot-4, 230-pound quarterback Zach Chandler.
The Antelopes advanced to the WPIAL title game for the first time in 55 years.
