West Catholic had itself quite a memorable 2010 season, winning the school’s first PIAA football championship with an utterly dominating performance. 2011 could figure to shape up much the same way for the Burrs, who return several key pieces from their state championship team, including potential Division-1 prospect Mike Makor.
Makor, a 6’3, 310-pound athlete in the trenches for the Burrs, had received interest, but no verbal offers, from five Division-1 programs, according to national recruiting service Rivals.com. Makor has heard from Boston College, Central Florida, Temple, Virginia and Wake Forest.
Including Makor, the Burrs return four starters from their 2010 offensive line (Dom DiGalbo, Eric Wyant and Todd-Jamal Waters). Makor & company helped to pave the way for a powerful West Catholic rushing attack that produced three 920+ yard rushers and a 1,400-yard passer. The Burrs averaged 386.7 yards of offense (285 rushing) and 36.5 points per game, scoring 79 total touchdowns (62 rushing, 17 passing). In the Burrs’ final four playoff games (Bok Vo-Tech, Northern Lehigh, Lewisburg and South Fayette), the team ran for 1,538 yards (384.5 rush yards per game), including 400-yard outputs against Northern Lehigh and South Fayette.
West Catholic finished 13-2 overall in 2010. In the last four years, the Burrs have won no fewer than 11 games, and are owners of an 80-17 overall record (.817) since 2004.
