University Prep crushes Brashear to reach City League final

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 23 Oct, 06:08 · Archive

University Prep defeated Brashear 52-14 in the City League semifinals.

University Prep advanced to the City League final with a 52-14 victory over Brashear in the semifinals. The defending champions' offensive display was led by seven rushing touchdowns, with sophomore Tyrik Steele accounting for four of them in his first varsity start.

Steele, who missed the previous season through injury, said of his performance: 'I feel like I barely touched the ball. It just happened. I don't have any words to describe it. I didn't get to play last year due to injury, but I came back and showed who I really am tonight.' This was University Prep's second victory over Brashear this season; the teams played to a narrow result in late September.

University Prep is now in its third consecutive win, averaging 48.7 points per game during the streak. Coach Lou Berry said: 'We are still champions until someone beats us. So we are just trying to do whatever we can to defend that title and give ourselves a chance to compete next week.' A potential rematch with Westinghouse awaits if Westinghouse defeats Allderdice in Friday's other semifinal at Cupples Stadium. Westinghouse defeated University Prep 62-0 in their first meeting in early October.
