Louis B. Ruediger | Tribune-Review Jeannette quarterback Brad Birch passed for more than 1,600 yards and 30 touchdowns as a freshman. Oregon assistant football coach Joe Moorhead called Team 412 Elite coach Will Reynolds on Wednesday, and Reynolds turned it into a conference call. He called Jeannette freshman quarterback Brad Birch on another cellphone and let him hear the good news from Moorhead, a Central Catholic grad and former Penn State offensive coordinator.
