Bishop Guilfoyle captured its first-ever Pennsylvania state football championship Friday with a 19-18 win over Clairton in the Class A championship game. Clairton was looking for its fifth overall title, which would have put the Bears one behind Southern Columbia, which has won the most Class A titles with six.
