Two Philadelphia Catholic League high school football teams won PIAA state championships over the weekend, including one that won its first in school history.

Roman Catholic defeated Bishop McDevitt (Harrisburg), 28-6, Friday night in the PIAA Class 5A championship game at Chapman Stadium in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, to secure the program’s first state title.

Cahillites senior quarterback Semaj Beals, a three-star University of Akron recruit, had four total touchdowns in the victory. He completed 18-of-26 passes for 231 yards to go along with his four scores.
