Looking Back: Clairton vs. Rochester – 2010 WPIAL A Championship

by Tracy Painter

As I was going through my archive of past sports videos, I came across some incredible moments that deserve to be shared again. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of capturing some of Western Pennsylvania’s greatest high school sports moments, and I’m excited to take a look back at some of the standout games I’ve recorded.

One of those moments was the 2010 WPIAL Class A Championship between the Clairton Bears and the Rochester Rams. I was on the sidelines filming for Clairton, capturing what would be another dominant performance by the Bears. Clairton came out on top with a 12-0 victory, securing their third consecutive WPIAL Championship under Coach Tom Nola.

If you look closely at the footage, you’ll spot a young Tyler Boyd—before he became a standout at Pitt and later an NFL wide receiver—making plays for Clairton.
Watch Clairton’s highlights from the 2010 WPIAL A Championship game below.

This was just the beginning of a legendary run for Clairton, and I’m excited to continue sharing more classic Western PA sports moments in this Looking Back series.
