Riverside Shuts Down Western Beaver 37-7

(Chippewa,Pa) It was a game that was part of the NFL 100 season celebration weekend . In conjumtion with the Pittsburgh Steelers the game that was originally scheduled to be played on Saturday was moved up a day to Friday and the venue was also changed. The game was originally scheduled to be hosted by Western Beaver at the Golden Beavers field. When the NFL decided to have this game as part of the 100 celebration being that Western Beaver didn’t have any lights the game was moved to Blackhawk high school field. This was the start to a whole host of activities that will happen this weekend at Heinz Field in conjunction with the NFL 100 season celebration.  The Golden Beavers coach is former Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Derek Moye. Unfortunately for the Golden Beavers is wasn’t too good of an evening . The scoring started early  when RB Hunter Nulth scored on the first drive for the Panthers on a 10 yard rush; however they missed the extra point making it 6-0 Riverside. The Golden Beavers answered quickly with a 39 yard TD run by Cam Irvine making it 7-6 Western Beaver. Riverside’s Kicker, Nate Sciarro, made up for a missed PAT witha 26 yard FG, and then a 27 yard TD catch, making the score 16-7. Nulth got in on the action again with a 23 yard TD run, followed up by a second missed PAT, but defensive offsides gave the Panthers a chance to run a 2-point play from the one, which was successful and resulted in a score of 24-7. Sciarro caught a second touch down of 18 yards, and missed his 3rd extra point, making the score 30-7. The final score of the game came on a 6 yard catch by Sciarro, making that 3 TD’s for the game and a final score of 37-7.
