This pick 6 appeared to be 96 yards, which would make it the third-longest in PIAA title game history: 100 yards - Daequan Hardy (@phqbclub, 2018) 99 yards - Darnell Farrow (Perry, 1989) More title game records here:

Technical note: I've seen varying reports of the distance of this Joey O'Brien pick 6 (including the official PIAA boxscore, which confusingly lists it at 0 yards). I'm inputting it into our PIAA Title Game Record Book at 96 yards, which seems clear to me from this video.
