(Ambridge, Pa.) In this weeks edition of “Thru the Eyes of Sly Washington” we travel to Moe Rubenstein Stadium in Ambridge and WPIAL Class 2A Quarter Final matchup between the New Brighton Lions and the Avonworth Antolopes. The game was a rematch of a non-conference game that the two teams played earlier this year at Oak Hill Field in New Brighton that the Antolopes won 21-13.
Avonworth proved to be too much of a challenge for the Lions. The Lopes got the scoring started on the first drive witha 23 yard TD catch by Theo Newhouse. On Avonworth’s next drive, they managed to get into the endzone again after a 54 yard run by Jax Miller. The 2nd quarter was quiet from a scoring perspective. Avonworth failed to get into the endzone twice on 4th and goal. Also, after the Antelopes muffed a punt, New Brighton managed to get to the 5 yard line before their drive stalled as well. The score at the half was 14-0 Avonworth.
New Brighton managed to make the game interesting with 9 seconds left in the 3rd. CCBC player of the game Nya Green caught a 5 yard TD pass to bring the Lions within 8, but a blocked extra point prevented them from getting any closer. On Avonworth’s next play, Jax Miller went 55 yards for a TD, bringing the score to 21-6. A few more scores occurred in the closing minutes of the game, but New Brighton never managed to get within 2 scores of Avonworth. The final score of the game was 38-13 Avonworth.

Central Valley demonstrated their powerful offense and defense in tonight’s game against Derry. Scoring a whopping three touchdowns in the first quarter, The Warriors were truly showing no mercy. They left Derry scoreless going into the second quarter at 21-0. The Warriors carried that relentless momentum throughout the first half, scoring yet another 21 points as Derry struggled to no reward. The first half ended at 42-0. Central Valley’s offense wasn’t as active throughout the second half, maintaining their 42 point lead during the third quarter. The Trojans had enough by the fourth quarter, refusing to be shutout by the Warriors as they fought back with a touchdown and the extra point. The game ended in favor of the Warriors, 42-7.

(Freedom, Pa.) It was a perfect brisk fall evening for round one of the WPIAL Play-offs. Last season the Freedom Bulldogs were the surprise team of the season and this year the favorites to advance to the finals before the season started. The Bulldogs finsihed tied in second place in the tough MAC conference with New Brighton but by beating the Lions a few weeks ago the Bulldogs got the home game over the LIons.
The Bulldogs were matched up against a tough Charleroi Cougars team and the stage was set for one of the best games of of round one of the Class 2A WPIAL Play-offs. Beaver County Radios Tom Hays and JIm Fredricks had the call on 1460 WMBA and the Trib-Live High School Sports Network. The Freedom Bulldogs season will continue as they defeated the Charleroi Cougars 21-14. Both teams came right out of the gate running the football as both offences traded touchdowns in the first quarter. Later in the second quarter the Cougars Legend Davis scored on a 21 yard reception giving the Cougars a 14-7 lead, only to have the lead shrink moments later. As the Cougars kicked off the to the Bulldogs, the Bulldogs took the kickoff over 80 yards to the house tying the game at 14 heading into the half. Freedom’s offensive and defensive lines came out the second half on fire, dominating the point of attack. The only touchdown of the second half came from the Bulldogs, after that the Bulldogs defense kept the pressure coming. The Bulldogs defense made a critical stop late in the fourth quarter securing the win for the Bulldogs. Freedom remains undefeated at home and play Washington next week who defeated Shadyside Friday night 21-7.
