Moon Tigers’ defense came up big tonight defeating the Upper St Clair Panthers 20-6. Moon scored the game’s first touchdown late into the first quarter with a five yard run from Jamal Littlejohn. Eighteen seconds later, Upper St Clair’s quarterback, Ethan Bahlem, broke off a 78 yard touchdown run. That would be the Panthers only score, for the Tigers tenacious defense would not allow anymore points. The Tigers defense rattled the Panther’s offense with a few forced turnovers, including a 60 yard interception that would later set up an 18 yard touchdown from Jamal Littlejohn, making that his second touchdown of the night. This win, bringing them to 6-2 for the season, secures a WPIAL playoff spot. The Panthers fall to 5-3 on the season.

(Bridgewater, PA) Two area high school head football coaches were the special guests last night on the Coaches Corner live broadcast from the Sports Patio at Robert’s Roadside Inn. Jeff Beltz from Beaver and Joe Lamenza from Ellwood City joined the show hosted by Bob Barrickman, Tom Hays and Bruce Frey, which aired on 1230 WBVP, 1460 WMBA and 99.3 F.M. Lamenza’s Wolverines from Ellwood City made a strong showing with around 40 players and coaches making the trek from the Beaver/Lawrence county border area school district to the venue for last night’s show. The Ellwood contingent came hungry too as, according to Robert Skerlec, owner of Robert’s Roadside Inn, a regular season record was set, consuming 160 pounds of free wings provided by Skerlec and his enterprise. In addition to the wings, The team made quick work of the usual compliment of numerous pizzas, courtesy of Pizza Joe’s in Beaver. Much like a feeding frenzy at the shark tank at the zoo, the action was fast and furious when the food was set out. Luckily, everyone got enough to eat and a good time was had by all. Upon learning of his high achieving team’s unique record, Ellwood City Head Coach, Joe Lamenza, offered that coming down to Coaches Corner was truly a special event and that his team was really excited to be included and because of that, every single player attended. That made setting the wing record easy work for a team that had just practiced hard and burned off a great deal of calories earlier in the day.
Beltz and Lamenza also talked at length on the show about their seasons and analyzed the upcoming games for each of their squads.

Beaver achieved victory on their home turf tonight as they barely let anything from Ambridge get through their defense. The Bobcats started off the first quarter with a bang as Wyatt Ringer took it into the end zone with a 55 yard touchdown. Ringer brought that energy into the second quarter, running the ball three yards for a second touchdown. The kick was no good, but that didn’t seem to be a problem for the Bobcats. The Bridgers fought back before the end of the half with Deyvon Gill-Martin scoring a 33 yard touchdown, bringing the halftime score to 13-7. The Bobcats held their ground against the Bridgers throughout the third quarter, maintaining the six point lead. Gill-Martin took a hard hit during the third quarter, temporarily stopping game play. After inspection, Gill-Martin jumped back in the game to fight for his team. Despite Gill-Martins desire to stay in the game, he was taken back to the sidelines after a touchdown by Bobcats’ Zach Harris. With a hard effort from both teams, the game ended with a final score of 20-7.
