Fox Chapel senior Brian Papich ran in a track and field meet Friday afternoon at Pine-Richland and was in a hurry to finish so he could get to the Cager Classic skills competition in the evening.
To speed things up, he had to high-jump with the girls. He ended up winning that event — along with the 100-meter dash and triple jump — but then teamed up with a girl to post another victory at the Cager event.
Papich also is known for his leaping ability on the basketball court, but it was his shooting from long-range that helped he and East teammate Ally Cujas of Ford City win the Co-ed Team Hot Shot contest at Highlands High School.
