South Park’s Kenyan Brown runs for a first down against Seton LaSalle in November.
WPIAL title-winning South Park teammates Eric Doerue, Troy Cunningham and Kenyan Brown were among 17 WPIAL football players chosen to compete in the PSFCA Small School East-West Game this spring.
The roster was announced Thursday.
The Pennsylvania Scholastic Football Coaches Association organizes two East-West all-star games each year, one for small schools (Class A to 3A) and another for big schools (4A to 6A). Both games are May 18 at Cumberland Valley.
Kickoff for the small school all-star game is noon. The big school game starts at 5 p.m.
The big school East-West roster will be announced Friday.
Joining the South Park trio on the west’s small-school roster were Bishop Canevin’s Kole Olszewski, Eddie Benton, Henry Barbisch and Braiden Sudor; Central Valley’s Mason Dixon, Quinn Connolly, Mike Bendekovic and Tyler Ondrusek; Our Lady of the Sacred Heart’s Iseia Schulz and Vann Kavals; Clairton’s Zaemear Correll; Fort Cherry’s Shane Cornali; Beaver’s Brady Mayo; and Serra Catholic’s Tonino Fassinger.
South Park won the WPIAL Class 2A title in November. Cornali helped Fort Cherry win in Class A.
The PSFCA also organizes the Big 33 Football Classic on May 25. Big 33 rosters were announced last week.
