The Fox Chapel football program has had a difficult few weeks. Senior kicker Harran Zureikat continues to be a bright spot for the Foxes.

Zureikat kicked a 57-yard field goal Friday night in Murrysville. While Fox Chapel lost its fourth consecutive game, 21-10, in non-conference play to Franklin Regional, Zureikat has continued to hit long field goals.

Zureikat, who will play Georgia next season, made a 54-yard field goal during a 63-3 loss to Pine-Richland two weeks ago. That kick was one-yard short of the WPIAL record, which was set by Hopewell's Rocco Marcantonio last season. Marcantonio tied his own record earlier this season, which has now been shattered by Zureikat.

Bishop Hoban's Gerry McGroarty has the Pennsylvania state record with a 64-yard kick in 2003.
