Avonworth is undefeated and riding high after big win vs. Thomas Jefferson

The football team at Avonworth High School is undefeated and riding high after last week's big win against Thomas Jefferson.

Avonworth, the defending WPIAL 3A champions, hosted Thomas Jefferson last Friday and came up big with a 41-14 victory over the defending 4A champions.

The Antelopes are now 4-0 on the season and are feeling good with last week's win as they prepare to face Hopewell on Friday night.

"41 to 14 was not what I expected," said Avonworth's Dimitri Velisaris.

Velisaris, a junior running back, racked up 166 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries last week in the win against Thomas Jefferson.
