The Jeannette Jayhawks were given the 'rock-star' treatment after routing Brentwood last night, 47-28, in the WPIAL Class AA semifinals at Elizabeth Forward.

Jeannette players ran into the stands to meet their adoring fans after a game that was not as close as the final score. The Jayhawks led, 47-7, after three quarters.

One of the players walked out of the bleachers holding a Heinz ketchup bottle in anticipation of the trip to the WPIAL title game Friday at Heinz Field.

Junior quarterback Terrelle Pryor led Jeannette to seven touchdowns on its first seven possessions, and he only needed to throw one pass.

"I actually wanted to pass more, but it doesn't matter. I like passing, but I like running," said Pryor, busy after the game having his picture taken with children at the request of their parents.

Pryor rushed for 114 yards on nine carries, scoring three touchdowns. This included an electrifying 45-yard run in the second quarter.

Jeannette drove 72 yards after the opening kickoff to lead, 7-0. Pryor scored the touchdown on a 1-yard quarterback sneak. Pryor threw a 23-yard pass to Davonte Shannon that put the ball at the Brentwood 1. He also kept the drive alive by scrambling 18 yards on third down-and-8 from the Jeannette 30.

Jordan Hall then returned a punt 68 yards for a touchdown with 5:42 left in the first quarter for a 14-0 lead. Brentwood cut it to 14-7 when Eric Coxon passed 15 yards to Akeem Moore on fourth- -and-goal on the first play of the second quarter.

But the Jayhawks came right back with a 70-yard drive. Hall's 22-yard cutback run for a touchdown raised the lead to 21-7 with 8:04 left until halftime.

A 7-yard Brentwood punt gave Jeannette the ball at Brentwood's 29, which led to Pryor's 5-yard touchdown run with 5:06 left in the first half. Shannon added a 5-yard touchdown off a lateral to make it 34-7.Pryor then scored by going 45 yards untouched with 1:52 left in the half for a 40-7 lead.

Brentwood (10-2) had its 10-game winning streak snapped. The Spartans gave up more points than they had in their previous six games.

"Everybody played well, what else can I say," said Jeannette coach Ray Reitz, who almost seemed surprised by his team's domination.

"We have great athletes, and the kids are playing well right now. Terrelle [Pryor] is a tremendous athlete, but we've got other kids.

"You want to take Terrelle away, we've got other kids. Terrelle can throw the ball very well, but there are other things he can do. We just haven't had to have him throw the ball."

Brentwood (10-2) drove to Jeannette's 25 to open the second half, but gave the ball up on downs. Hall responded with a 75-yard touchdown run to enable the mercy rule to go into effect at 47-7 with 7:32 remaining in the third quarter.

Hall finished with 121 yards on six carries.

Da'Von Moore scored meaningless fourth-quarter touchdowns for Brentwood on a 75-yard run with a screen pass, a 63-yard punt return and a 9-yard pass from Coxon with 59 seconds left.

Jeannette's defense relentlessly pressured Coxon, sacking the Brentwood quarterback nine times for minus-71 yards.

"That was just an old-fashioned butt-kicking there," Brentwood coach Kevin Kissel said. "I told our kids all week that [Pryor] was a tremendous athlete, but they have other athletes and they have a good line. That kid ran for a lot of yards, but he obviously didn't do it on his own. They just took it to us."

Jeannette gets a rematch in the final against Greensburg Central Catholic. Jeannette beat the Centurions, 7-2, Oct. 27.

"They want to play us again," Reitz said.

"It will be a great game. [It's] two teams from the same conference [Interstate] that don't like each other. We'll see what happens."

"We showed everybody that we can play on a dry field," Pryor said.

"And we can play defense. Being a Jayhawk is about heart. That's how we play."
