Strath Haven quarterback Jake Kitchin never envisioned himself scoring three touchdowns in one game.
It wasn’t just any old game, either. It was the District 1 Class 5A championship in front of a crowd of thousands packed inside the Chester Athletic Complex.
Playing behind the best offensive line in the county, Kitchin was more than happy to get the opportunity to score points for his team. Strath Haven’s version of the Brotherly Shove worked to perfection each time.
“I definitely have to give props to my offensive line,” Kitchin said. “Three quarterback sneaks there, wow. It was like Jalen Hurts and Jason Kelce, a little tush-push action. A lot of credit to the line for getting me in there “
Kitchin’s final QB sneak from a yard out helped put the second-seeded Panthers ahead eight points late in the fourth quarter. Haven held on to capture its 13th District 1 title — all under the guidance of coach Kevin Clancy — with a 28-20 victory over No. 1 Chester Saturday. It marked the Panthers ‘ second district championship in three seasons.
