WPIAL Class AA Roundup: Jeannette, Pryor top Brownsville 60-0 in romp
Games are listed according to the classification of the winning team.
It didn't take Terrelle Pryor very long to put the opening stamp on his senior season.
Try 11 seconds.
The all-everything quarterback took Jeannette's first offensive play 53 yards for a score, pacing the Jayhawks -- ranked No. 1 in the WPIAL by the Post-Gazette -- to an easy 60-0 romp against Brownsville last night.
Terrelle Pryor didn't need to do very much for Jeannette in this Interstate Conference contest, and finished 3 of 4 for 97 yards and a touchdown, while rushing once for 53 yards and that opening score, after Brownville's onside kick attempt backfired.
Running back Jerry Harris was the star for the Jayhawks, scoring four touchdowns.
