Surprise ....Upper St. Clair moves on ! HARMARVILLE - Upper St Clair Kip Guenther knows he is in the beginning of building a program at Upper St Clair that has a lot of promise. Well, for the here and now we all received a little glimpse of the future at the Central Catholic Invitational this weekend. For the teams in Division A ....Serra, Monsignor Bonner and Shaler would probably look at USC's 2-4-0 start to the season and count a win on the CC Invitational slate....bad assumption. Eric Echard put the Panthers on the board early in the first 1-0. After Shaler's Justin Thomas tied the score falling down on the wrist shot at 4:44 of the 1st, USC got goals from Ian Joyce and Matt Major to take a 3-1 lead. Jeff Greenberg added two shorthanded tallies and Matt Moran a single as USC posted an impressive 6-1 victory over Shaler. Notable performance was turned in by USC freshman defenseman Kris McDonough, who was a dominating force on the blueline. The Panthers swept the bracket and moved on to the Semi-Finals on Sunday.
