Confidence isn’t lacking inside the football locker room at Serra Catholic High School.
A year after winning WPIAL gold and playing in a state championship game in Hershey, the Eagles are faced with the tall task of trying to replicate last season’s success.
Can they do it?
They surely believe so.
“We have the confidence to repeat,” Serra head coach Jose Regus said. “It’s everyone’s expectation to win championships, but once you get there and you do it, you always have that feeling of wanting to get back. That’s what we’re focused on.”
Last season, the Eagles compiled 15 wins, including a 35-12 triumph over Beaver Falls in the WPIAL Class 2A championship game in late November. They went on to the state playoffs, where they eventually suffered a 62-25 defeat at the hands of powerhouse Southern Columbia.
