(Moon Twp., Pa.)  In this weeks edition of “Thru the Eyes of Sly Washington” we are off to Moon Stadium  and the PIAA 3A semi-final. The game featured the WPIAL Champion, Central Valley Warriors and the Bald Eagle Eagles. Beaver County Radio’s Bob Barrickman and Tom Hays had the call of the action. Zach Ulrich reported live on the sidelines throughout the game.

Central Valley started scoring early and never looked back. The defense got the party started with a safety on Bald Eagle Area’s second drive, making the score 2-0. On the ensuing possession, Jalen Guy ran the ball 9 yards up the left side for the score, but after a missed extra point, the score was 8-0. the Bald Eagles fumbled the kick-off, leading to a 30 yard TD catch by Juwan Hall, bringing the score to 15-0. Bald Eagle Area managed to put together a drive as the game was getting out of hand, but a missed field goal stopped them from gaining any momentum. On the next 2 drives, Miles Walker caught a TD and Michael Barbuto ran for a TD on a double reverse, leading to a score of 28-0 at half time.

The Warriors had the mercy rule on their mind when they came out of the locker room in the 3rd quarter. Reed Fitsimmons picked a pass off, which resulted in a 6 yard TD run from Ameer Dudley. With the mercy rule now in effect, Central Valley started to pile it on with a 30 yard field goal and a 90 yard interception return for a TD by Matt Merritt. The final score was Central Valley- 45 and Bald Eagle Area- 0. The Warriors will now move onto the PIAA 3A Final next Saturday December 7, 2019 at noon against Wyoming Area. Beaver County Radio will have live coverage of the game from Hershey Pa.
