I know Purchase Line made it to the state semi-finals in 1990. Can't recall who all they beat but they were still AA at that time.

[konjo78]

I feel like laurel valley might of made a few dents too in the 80s with coach page.

[cleaverstuart]

LAUREL VALLEY (2-1) 1-0 Beat Conemaugh Twp. 34-20 (1993 PIAA class A 1st round), 2-0 Beat Eisenhower 34-14 (1993 PIAA class A Region III Final), 2-1 Lost to Duquesne 25-12 (!993 PIAA class A Western Final)

[cleaverstuart]

Purchase Line 0-1, lost to Canevin 28-12 in 1990 PIAA Class AA Western Final in the format that only the top school based on all games played from district 5, 6, 9 & 10 (Region III) would advance to the western final. Please note I don't remember if the city league (District 8) was part of Region III or not.
