Steel-High can win its third PIAA football championship in four years and its second in a row Thursday afternoon.
The undefeated Rollers face District 7 champion Fort Cherry at 1 p.m. at Cumberland Valley High School, a hop, skip and a jump from their home turf. It’ll be the final game of quarterback Alex Erby’s career. The Naval Academy recruit is one of the best to ever do it in the Keystone State, owning the career passing yards and touchdowns records with a chance to set the single-season TD mark in his last hoorah.
