Saturday night, Matt Sieg ran for 277 yards and four touchdowns, threw for 171 yards and three more scores as Fort Cherry won an instant classic over previously unbeaten Bishop Canevin. Fort Cherry had leads of 21-0 and 34-12 but had to hold on late to get the win. Chartiers-Houston lost to Our Lady of the Sacred Heart, the Bucs’ 6th straight loss.
Friday night, Canon-McMillan scored first, but #1 Central Catholic rolled from there, handing the Big Macs a mercy-rule defeat. 5A #1 Peters Township crushed Baldwin to remain unbeaten. Trinity had a chance to take control of a 4A Big Seven playoff spot but couldn’t find the endzone, falling at Latrobe. Ringgld’s struggles continue, losing for the 21st straight game. Wash High held Waynesburg to just over 100 total yards as the top-ranked Little Prexies rolled. McGuffey blanked Sto-Rox, staying unbeaten in the Century while Charleroi lost for the fifth straight week. California blanked Mapletown, West Greene got by Monessen. Both winners are 3-0, both losers are 0-3. Beth-Center & Jeff-Morgan won to move into a tie for third. Carmichaels & Bentworth losses have them on the wrong side of the cut line with four weeks to play. Avella got enough players healthy to not only take the field but win at Carlynton with Burgettstown couldn’t hold a third-quarter lead, losing a one-point game to unbeaten Cornell.
