Second-seeded Shenango defeated Serra Catholic 55-6 in the WPIAL Class A playoff first round on Friday. The Williams brothers—Jaeshaun and Jasyn—combined for 364 yards rushing and five touchdowns. Jaeshaun Williams finished with a season-high 149 yards and scored on a 69-yard sweep in the first quarter. Jasyn Williams scored on a 54-yard run with 7:14 left in the first quarter.

Shenango's senior quarterback Niko DeSalvo fumbled on the game's opening play, and Serra Catholic's Fred Leverett scooped it up and ran 40 yards for an early touchdown. However, Shenango rallied quickly. Jaeshaun Williams said of his brother's performance: "Honestly I feel like it's whoever feels it that day. We fumbled, but hey, we had to come back and hit hard."

With the victory, Shenango improved to 10-0, winning its tenth game of the season—a programme record. The Wildcats advanced to the second round of the postseason for the first time since 2020. This was the first time Shenango's senior class played in a WPIAL playoff game. The Wildcats will next face No. 10 Monessen, which defeated Jeannette 6-0 in other first round action.
