In the fall of 2006, under the direction of Shawn Burkes, head coach,all knower, all seeer, (seriously, this dude knows everythign) they conquered their rivals during the regular season and won their district 7 championship defeating West Elk 48-12. Because of this victory St. Marys/ Pittsburg-Colgan, the runner up in the battle against Uniontown, traveled to Oxford for the first time in 5 consecutive seasons, all ending up with wins over the Oxford Wildcats. Oxford dominated the grid-iron, absolutely pummeling their opponent. But because of costly turnovers the scoreboard did not show Oxford on top. Final score Oxford 21, Pitt-Colgan 28. The Colgan Panthers would continue to defeat Canton-Galva but lose in the semi-finals to St. Mary.
