With some versatile athletes, Seneca Valley starts fast but runs into challenge tonight
9/7/2016
Some believe playing basketball in the winter will keep an athlete from becoming a better football player. At Seneca Valley, it seems to have helped.
Technically, the Raiders are the highest-scoring team in the WPIAL’s two largest classifications. OK, so they’ve only played once so far — a game in which they hung 48 points on a rebuilding Peters Township in Week 1 — but it was an offensive outburst all the same for a team that features four basketball players as major contributors and one who could develop into one.
Quarterback Jack Cook, a starter since his sophomore year in basketball, tossed touchdown passes last week to Payton Skalos, Jake Bunofsky and Jake Holl, all of whom play both sports with Cook.

Seneca Valley's scout-team offense practiced at times Tuesday without a football. It was one technique used by Dave Vestal and his first-year staff at Seneca Valley in the three days they had to prepare the Raiders for the most successful option offense in the WPIAL. No. 10 seed Seneca Valley (5-4) visits No. 7 McKeesport (8-1) at 7:30 p.m., Friday in the first round of the WPIAL Class AAAA playoffs.
