It was once again the final minute. It was once again star senior running back Sean Steckert scoring the deciding touchdown. For the second consecutive week, the Southern Lehigh High School football team walked a tightrope on their way to a PIAA Class 4A football tournament victory.

Last week, Steckert ran for a 7-yard touchdown with one minute left to complete Southern Lehigh’s comeback victory over Shamokin in the quarterfinals.

On Friday night, the senior running back powered into the end zone from 3 yards out with 31 seconds left in the fourth quarter to send the Spartans to a wild 28-24 win over Cardinal O’Hara in a PIAA Class 4A semifinal at Whitehall High School.
