STATE COLLEGE (AP) — After a miserable start, Imhotep Charter surged ahead at just the right time.
Sam Prescott scored 21 points, including four foul shots in the second overtime and a layup that tied the game in regulation, as the Panthers (32-1) rallied from 12 down to defeat Pittsburgh North Catholic 75-67 to take the state Class AA title on Saturday.
Jesse Long’s buzzer-beating 3-pointer over the outstretched arms of Ivory Wells tied the game at 63 to send the game into the second overtime.
But the Trojans (28-3) seemingly ran out of energy to keep up with the athletic Panthers.
Prescott’s two free throws with 1:58 left gave Imhotep Charter the lead for good at 69-67, while North Catholic missed its last six shots.
Long finished with 20 points, while Henry Pwono added 16 points and eight rebounds.
Erik Copes had 11 rebounds and blocked seven shots for the Panthers.

too bad...looks like someone out-recruited you guys. Guess you'll have to up the recruiting budget next year...
hahah well put
Only 2 of 12 teams in A,AA,AAA title games were public schools.
Add the AAAA and there were 5 of 16 public schools. Notice a pattern?
When this issue gets kicked around the discussion usually centers around placing private schools in their own league or making them play up. What is PIAA removed residency restrictions for all publics schools?
So what if they removed residency restrictions? If a kid lives in Moon Area School District wouldn't he go to Moon? Or are you saying they could go anywhere they wanted for free?
Just kind of confused on this. And if thats the case then that is just as bad. Recruting would be 100 times worse with that than it is not. Recruting is for college not high school.
