Bob Bartley threw four touchdown passes, including two in the final 1:15, to lead Hampton to a 29-28 win against Keystone Oaks in the first round of the WPIAL Class AAA playoffs last night at Dormont Stadium.

The victory earned Hampton (5-5), the fourth-place finisher in the Greater Allegheny Conference, a fourth consecutive berth in the quarterfinals. The Talbots will meet No. 3 seed Blackhawk (9-1) Friday or next Saturday.

Bartley completed 20 of 40 passes for 371 yards and connected with Joe Cangilla on 12 of those passes, which covered 252 yards and three touchdowns.

Bartley connected with Cangilla on a 61-yard scoring strike in the first quarter, then found Dan O'Mara on a 22-yard scoring play in the third quarter.

Bartley and Cangilla connected on a 10-yard touchdown pass with 1:15 left. The Talbots then recovered an onside kick and scored again with 0:13 remaining on a 6-yard scoring pass from Bartley to Cangilla.

Keystone Oaks (6-4), the second-place finisher from the Big Seven Conference, competed in the Greater Allegheny Conference the past two seasons and Hampton recorded regular-season wins of 42-0 and 49-20. Talbots tailback Steve Paskorz rushed for a combined 562 yards in those two games, but did not play last night because of a hamstring injury that has sidelined him for the rest of the season.

Without Paskorz, the Talbots were held to 0 yards on the ground.

The fine outing by Bartley overshadowed the strong performance of the Golden Eagles' John Fuhrer, who rushed for 239 yards on 34 carries and scored on runs of 4 and 50 yards.
