Bout Dat! 60 

Clairton uses the ‘Bout Dat’ moniker to, as Tyler Boyd put it, “let everybody know what we are all about.” 

It would be hard-pressed these days to find anybody who doesn’t know what Clairton is all about now, and it has nothing to do with the ‘Bout Dat! 60’ championship T-shirts the Bears donned minutes before Friday’s game ended.

Football Team Keeps Mill Town’s Heart Beating

Picture
Published: November 21, 2012

CLAIRTON, Pa. — Up the hill the Clairton High School Bears walked from school, climbing Miller Avenue to catch a bus ride into history. Car horns honked. A man did a celebratory dance on the sidewalk. A girlfriend waited outside her house for a kiss. For a mill town that has known mostly defeat since
the steel industry declined in the 1980s, football is bringing incessant victory. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/22/sports/in-clairton-pa-a-high-school-football-team-keeps-a-towns-heart-beating.html?ref=todayspaper
