Ron Sciarro Discusses Plan For Steel Valley On Coaches Corner

The Riverside Panthers are headed to the 2A Semifinals in the WPIAL High School Football Playoffs, and they will be playing the Steel Valley Ironmen at 7:30 on the campus of North Hills.

But before they did that, they joined the Beaver County Radio Sports crew for some wings and talk on last night’s Coaches Corner. Coach Ron Sciarro was the guest of honor, and he spoke about what his team’s plan for dealing with the defending state champions would be:

 

This is the fourth meeting in the last two seasons between the Panthers and Ironmen, with Steel Valley winning the prior three. The last meeting was a 48-28 loss for Riverside back in Week 1.

Coverage on Beaver County Radio begins at 7:00 pm for Friday night’s game.

Jeannette 30, Rochester 26

During the early afternoon hours of November 10, the citizens of Beaver County looked at the ground, saw the snow, and realized that winter had come early.

Later that evening, Rochester looked to the scoreboard of Peters Township, saw the score, and realized that winter had come early.

The Rams saw a 26-15 lead slip in the final minutes, and an Isaiah Winters touchdown catch with a minute on the clock sends the Jeannette Jayhawks to the 1A Semifinals with a 30-26 win on 1230 WBVP.

Bob Barrickman breaks down how the scoring went:

Rochester’s season comes to a close at 8-3.

Riverside 28 vs. Frazier 0

  • It was a crisp cool night for the opening round of high school playoff football. It was all Riverside throughout this one. Riverside did play a sloppy game, but Frazier’s play was ever sloppier. There were a laundry list of flags to end the first half, which took forever with less than two minutes left. Riverside came out swinging in the second half and Frazier continued to get penalties and no points. The final score was Riverside-28 Frazier-0.
