Andrew Burda J.T. Stahlman Cameron Russell

They made
their points!

This is quite the trio, here, as Venango Catholic's Andrew Burda confronts  (so to speak) Cranberry's Cameron Russell and J.T. Stahlman in a 2019 game. Burda is the last Venango County player to score more than 50 points in a game, hitting 52 on Jan. 25, 2021, vs. Forest Area. He also reached the 1,000 points milestone that night.  Russell and Stahlman were best known for their roles on Oil City's three-time District 10 championship football teams.
