(Industry),Pa.) In this editon of ” Thru the Eyes of Sly Washington” we travel to Western Beaver High School. The Golden Beavers under first year coach Derek Moye could secure a play-off spot with a win against the heavily favored Freedom Bulldogs. A Bulldogs win would mean a share of the 2A MAC title with Neshannock.

On a wet and sloppy afternoon the Golden Beavers turned in an outstanding defensive and offensive display. After a scoreless first quarter, Western Beaver puts the first numbers on the board in the second as they scored a touchdown with the extra point. Freedom fought back a little in the third quarter, taking what they could get with a  field goal. The score was 7-3 in favor of the Golden Beavers going into the fourth quarter. Western Beaver was able to get one last touchdown in the fourth, ending the game with a score of 13-3. Western Beaver secured the fourth play-off spot in the MAC because they had beaten Riverside in head to head competition. With the loss Freedom falls into a second place tie with New Brighton at 5-2 in the MAC. The Bulldogs receie the second play-off spot over the Lions due to beating them head to head. Neshannock who beat Shenango on Friday secured the section crown finishing 6-1 in the MAC with their lone loss coming at the hands of New Brighton.
