The Parade All-American team in 1994 included only eight quarterbacks across the country. One was Peyton Manning. Another was Eric Kasperowicz. At North Hills, Kasperowicz was one of the best all-around players in WPIAL history. He had 6,869 career yards and also had 20 career interceptions as a defensive back. He is still among the top 20 passers in WPIAL history with 5,500 yards (330 of 581 attempts). He also rushed for 1,369 yards and had an unforgettable senior year, leading North Hills to WPIAL and state championships. He completed 164 of 274 for 2,781 yards, rushed for 837 and intercepted 14 passes. And late in the state championship game, he threw for a 28-yard touchdown fourth-and-goal and then ran for the two-point conversion in a 15- 14 North Hills win. After high school, Kasperowicz went on to play linebacker at the University of Pittsburgh.
