Council Rock North Indians- 1991 AAA & 1992 AA

CRANBERRY - Central Catholic's nickname is the Vikings, who are effectionately known in their brief 2001-2002 season as 'Midnight Madness'. A game tying goal against North Hills with just 31 seconds remaining in the opener and Tuesday affair with Brian Cersosimo's upstart Seneca Valley Raiders. Less than a minute into the first, SV's Dave Syska pounced on a rebound to give the Raiders a 1-0 lead. Central's Jeff Race and Glen Donahue scored less than a minute apart to give the Vikings a 2-1 lead at the end of one period. Central's Pete Wood took a CJ Bruce pass and beat John Hoffman to extend the lead to 3-1. But Seneca showed character as speedy Trevor Kuhlmann and Chris Hudson tallied to deadlock the game at 3-3. Race gave Cetral the lead back as he took a Hoffman rebound and beat him on the backhand with 3:50 remaining in the second. Eddie Martin then picked up a Race rebound on the power play and slammed it home to give the Vikings a two goal lead. John Zegarelli gave the Raiders new life with a goal with just :21 seconds remaining. In the third both teams had several chances, but the curfew clock decided another close game when it was halted with :19 seconds left. The rule that never seems to go away....while the league administration is at home sleeping and is worried more about frivilous items, its opportunity to become a legitimate school sport and have marketability and integrity are shallowed by a minor league rule, as Seneca watched any chance of tying diminish with the curfew buzzer (Imagine if that was a Woodland Hills - Penn Hills Football game... Riot gear would be appropriate). Final Score - Central Catholic 5 Seneca Valley 4
