GTR-EFDerry6-090316 — Elizabeth Forward's Zachary Benedek tackles Derry’s Tyler Balega during the second quarter of their WPIAL contest at Trojan Stadium on Friday, Sept. 02, 2016, in Derry. Derry defeated Elizabeth Forward 27-15.

St. Francis (Pa.) football coach Chris Villarrial added two WPIAL recruits this week when Rochester’s Darius Goosby and Elizabeth Forward’s Zachary Benedek committed to the Red Flash.

Goosby, a 6-foot-3, 205-pound defensive end and fullback, announced his decision Tuesday. Benedek, a 6-1, 185-pound quarterback, committed Wednesday as a preferred walk-on.

St. Francis had nine former WPIAL players on last season’s roster and added Beaver Falls’ Amen Cottrill during the early signing period in December.
