It was quite the battle Saturday night at Bulldog Stadium for Homecoming, and at the end of the night, the team on top stayed on top.

The Riverside Panthers hold on to win 18-10 over the Freedom Bulldogs on Beaver County Radio. Riverside took a 12-3 lead into the half, but Freedom kept it close until being stopped on the final drive.

During the 1st quarter, Freedom WR Nick Henderson became the leading receiver in Bulldog history. The game was paused to honor his accomplishment; audio of this highlight is posted below.

With the win, Riverside stays undefeated in the Midwestern Athletic Conference at 4-0 (4-1 overall). Freedom drops to 1-2 in the conference (1-5 overall).

Henderson, along with Riverside’s Lance Fisher, earn the honors as tonight’s CCBC Players of the Game.

Hopewell’s undefeated streak to begin the year has come to an end.

The Quaker Valley Quakers get their first win in three weeks in a 31-14 victory over the Hopewell Vikings at Chuck Knox Stadium tonight on WMBA. The Quakers improve to 3-2 overall and 2-2 in the Beaver Valley Conference. Hopewell drops to 5-1 overall and 2-1 in the conference.

Billy DePaul was named CCBC Player of the Game for the Vikings; Jordan Martin earned honors for the Quakers.

A showdown of two titans in the Beaver Valley Conference came down to the final play, and in the end, it was the Warriors who emerged victorious over the Bobcats.

Beaver was stopped on its final drive, and the Central Valley Warriors earn a 42-35 victory over the Bobcats at Sarge Alberts Stadium on WBVP. The back-and-forth affair had the teams tied at each of the breaks, and the Bobcats were hoping to drive for the score and two-point conversion, but were stopped on a QB sneak that ran out the clock.

With the victory, Central Valley improves to 4-0 in the Beaver Valley Conference and 5-1 overall. Beaver drops to 4-1 overall, and 2-1 in the BVC.

Garnering CCBC Player of The Game Honors were Nico Battisti of Central Valley and Darius Wise of Beaver.
