PA first held States in 1988, I know cause central won the first AAAA against cedar cliff. Acording the records Bethlehem catholic won the AA state championship in 1988 and jumped up to AAA and won that in 1990. So you are off by a year.

I don't know much about North Penn H.S. but I remember back in '89 & '91 my high school (Bethlehem Catholic H.S.) won states both those years. '89 was the first year PA held state titles, and '91 was my senior year.
Not much help for you but here's a "bump" anyways!!

Its says in 1990 they beat a team called Seton la salle, they are a local catholic HS in pittsburgh. From what i hear thou people say its not a true state championship cause all but one district doens't participate in States, PHILLY. Western PA are where the football factories are anyway. I couldn't begin to mention all the NFL stars that have come from WPIAL schools. The WPIAL has their own championship and the winners move on to states. All i really know about this north penn team is that they have a great RB and they have 1,600 boys grades 10-12 and central only has 682 boys 10-12, hardly a fair matchup as far as recruiting base. There are more schools in this area and i guess that results in lower enrollments. Central is all boys. in the past 7 games, 5 of them were in the state finals since 1993, Mckeesport,penn hills, woodland hills (3), north hills and upper saint clair. I think we gave up 43 points in out past 7 games.
