, was sensational. He made plays all night long. My favorite moment came when he made an incredible contested catch in the end zone, only for it to get called back. On the very next snap, Pine-Richland ran the same play. Taylor went up again, climbed the ladder, and snagged it right over the same defender for six. That’s the kind of confidence and dominance that separates him, he’s going to win his rep, and there’s nothing you can do about it. He made his presence felt in all three phases. On special teams, he ripped off a big punt return touchdown, bursting through traffic and leaving North Allegheny’s coverage unit in the dust. On defense, he was physical from his corner spot, coming downhill and making multiple open-field tackles. Pine-Richland was already a consistent championship contender without him, but his addition has made them a full-blown juggernaut, not just in 5A, but statewide. It’s worth remembering their lone loss earlier in the year to Central Catholic, when Taylor returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown before exiting with an injury. You can’t help but wonder how differently that game might have gone if he stayed on the field. When Taylor’s out there, he changes everything. He’s that kind of difference-maker.
