W-E-S-T, West! West! West! Looks like another fine start to the Burrs season. I know it’s early, but I can taste the chocolate in Hershey already. Keep up the fine play West Catholic and focus on last year’s unfinished business. Remember, we showed a lot of people that we belong in the state playoffs and if we keep our nose to the grindstone there’s no reason we shouldn’t be knockin’ on that door in Hershey once again.Keep working hard and set your goals high and don’t be denied until the goal is accomplished. Good luck in 09!

Attended many games last year. Live in Lancaster and took the Lancaster Catholic bus to the game.
Fastest backfield I've ever seen.

What a ride Burrs! It was a pleasure to see my high school, West Catholic, compete on the grand stage for the state title. A Hoosiers type moment indeed for a city Catholic school to get that opportunity. I know you are disappointed at the outcome, but nothing to be ashamed of. As my brother remarked,” One of the most exciting live events he has ever seen” in reference to that fantastic display of high school football by both teams. I even watched the replay and was just as excited, although utterly flabbergasted that we did not win. You left it all on the field West Catholic and truly set the bar for future Burrs to compete on the highest level. Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year!

What a great First Season in the PIAA. You set the bar very high for the future. Way to go Burrs. I am not sure if "Ralph A. Rapino" was liked by all. Just kidding. Good to hear you are still in touch.
