Westmoreland campus clippings: Seton Hill, Saint Vincent rookie football coaches notch victories

Kevin May has been around wins at Seton Hill before having served as the football team’s defensive coordinator for six years.

Now the new head coach has a win all to himself.

So does Saint Vincent’s Casey Goff, another rookie head coach who is off and running.

May guided the Griffins to a 42-21 win at West Liberty on Saturday.

Saint Vincent and Goff took care of Hilbert, 28-7, in the season opener at Chuck Noll Field in Latrobe.

May, a Griffins alum, replaced Dan Day in June after Day, who also played at Seton Hill, resigned to pursue other opportunities.

The Griffins (1-1) put up 21 points in the third quarter to push past West Liberty.

Sophomore Boden St. Marie passed for 183 yards and three touchdowns to pace the offense, and senior Ritchie McCormack registered 11 tackles, including two for loss, and grad student Richard Johnson added 10 stops and two sacks.

Sophomore Darius Patterson had two interceptions in the win. Patterson was named the PSAC West Co-Defensive Player of the Week.

Junior quarterback Jake Phillips (Hempfield) shined in his first game with the Bearcats, completing 17 of 26 passes for 199 yards and four touchdowns.

Junior Chris Downs caught six receptions for 100 yards and two TDs, and the defense was led by sophomore Nathan Parker, who rang up 18 tackles, senior Andrew Gelin, who had 10 stops, and junior Robbie Labuda (Mt. Pleasant) had nine.

Junior Jonathan Puddie had an interception for the Bearcats.
