Central Catholic has three venues for home games this season. The Vikings' home opener last night was at the Wolvarena in Turtle Creek against undefeated Mt. Lebanon.

Even though Central Catholic was No. 1 in the Post-Gazette's WPIAL and PIAA Class AAAA rankings, the Blue Devils were expected to provide a challenge. Instead, the Vikings made themselves at home, rolling to leads of 21-0 at halftime and 35-0 in the fourth quarter en route to a 35-7 victory.

D.J. Myers led Central Catholic (3-0), scoring touchdowns three ways: on a 7-yard run, a 3-yard pass from Tino Sunseri and a 52-yard punt return. He had not scored in the previous two games.

Jeff Knox gained 76 yards on 14 carries, including a 5-yard run to open the scoring in the first quarter. Andrew Taglianetti made it 14-0 in the second on a 55-yard interception return.

Central limited Mt. Lebanon (2-1) to five first downs, 110 yards of offense and one score, Dave Offner's 1-yard bolt.
