It's been nearly 15 years since Bethlehem Catholic has been alive this deep in the PIAA championships, but the Hawks hope they can keep that winning momentum going when they take on District 5 champion Somerset this Saturday at Chambersburg.

Both teams enter the contest 12-1, as Somerset, a school located 70 miles east of Pittsburgh, have had little trouble taking care of business this year.

The Eagles average 38 points a game and actually came in second place in the Laurel Highlands Conference, as their lone defeat of the season was a 27-3 blemish to Class A Bishop Guilfoyle, who will be playing in the PIAA quarters this weekend as well.

The offense that Becahi will see this week is a complete 180 from the single-wing they saw against Crestwood, as Somerset feature a no-huddle, spread offense.

"We're basically going from one extreme to another," said head coach Joe Henrich about preparing over the last two weeks. "They [Somerset] run some basic stuff, but they really rely on their key guys."

One of those culprits is junior quarterback Dylan Barnes, who has thrown for 1,418 yards and 19 touchdowns. He's also been picked off six times this year, as well as being second on the team in rushing with 620 yards and nine scores.

Junior running back Jake Heiple leads the team's ground attack with 1,320 yards and 22 TD's.

Senior tight end/defensive end, Bryce Mostoller, might be the major issue for Becahi this weekend, as he's the Eagles main threat in the passing game, as he leads the team in catches (31) and yards (520). He's scored five touchdowns, as wide receiver Raven Beeman leads the team with seven receiving scores.

"They're obviously a quality football team," said Henrich. "We know what they like to do offensively and they've given up around 10 points a game on defense. It's always tough to gauge teams on film at this point of the year, since you don't really know what type of competition they play. All we know is that we'll be ready."
