CLARION, Pa. -- Terrelle Pryor has another fan.

"He's every bit what they say he is," Karns City coach Ed Conto said of Jeannette's senior quarterback. "I have never seen a guy hurdle people like that or break tackles like that. ... He just does things that other high school football players can't."

What Pryor did yesterday was construct another chapter to his already legend-like status in Western Pennsylvania high school football lore.

He threw for 169 yards and two touchdowns, rushed for 101 yards and a score and vehemently stamped out any chances Karns City had as the Jayhawks (14-0) coasted to a 35-6 victory against the Gremlins (12-1) in a PIAA Class AA quarterfinal at Clarion University.

Jeannette advances to a semifinal against Wilmington (13-1), which defeated Bishop McCort Friday in a quarterfinal.

For a gauge on Pryor's ever-increasing celebrity consider this: Six men with footballs and other items stood outside Jeannette's locker room after the game. Their intentions were obvious -- they were looking to hand Pryor a Sharpie and have him scribble his signature on that memorabilia as he headed for the bus.

Maybe that memorabilia was headed for a mantelpiece, or maybe it was headed for eBay, but there was one certainty -- Karns City was headed for the end of its season when Pryor rose up late in the first quarter.

He led the Jayhawks on a 94-yard drive that ended with a 1-yard Jordan Hall run to make it 7-0.

Just as daunting to the Gremlins as the 24-degree wind chill was Pryor's performance in the first half. He rushed for 87 yards and a score in that span, but hurt Karns City with his arm, throwing two touchdown passes and for 133 yards on 5-of-9 passing in the first 24 minutes.

The most accurate barometer for Pryor's electrifying expectations can be easily measured. Once on a Pryor 7-yard run and another time when he gained 6 yards in the first quarter, the Gremlins fans cheered wildly. It seemed they viewed those nominal gains as moral victories.

But that all ended early in the second quarter when Pryor dazzled the more than 5,500 fans by going off-tackle, breaking the first layer and then roaring through the secondary for a 37-yard scoring run to make it 14-0 and effectively end Karns City's chances.

Headed into the game, Jeannette needed 21 points to set a state record for most points in a season and it eclipsed that mark of 755 in the second quarter, when Dane Vaughn caught a 5-yard touchdown pass to make it 20-0 and the extra point from John Staph lifted the Jayhawks to the record.

Hall then added another score, on a 6-yard pass from Pryor.

With 6:14 left in the third quarter, Jeannette put the mercy rule into effect for the 13th time in 14 games this season when Kenny Grant scored on a 14-yard run to make it 35-0.

"They were prepared well at first," Pryor said. "But, I kind of knew that we would put the mercy rule on them. I knew we could turn it up when we wanted and put them away and you saw what happened when we turned it up."

Karns City's points came with 6:12 left when starting quarterback Anthony Stimac ran 44 yards for a touchdown against Jeannette's second-team defense, which had entered the contest minutes earlier. Of Karns City, Jeannette coach Ray Reitz said, "They were 12-0 and averaged 43 points a game, so obviously they were doing something right."
