Once again, Greg McGhee and his receivers controlled the momentum in this one.

McGhee completed 11 of 15 passes for 225 yards and three touchdowns. Eric Frye caught seven of those for 130 yards. They also connected on scores from 9 and 56 yards in the game. Devin Ghafoor brought in five passes for 109 yards; including a 58-yard score in the first half.

Perry’s defense also held Oliver to 60 yards total offense, including -30 on the ground.

In a rare battle of undefeated teams, Chartiers-Houston at Clairton, the Bears (4-0) stomped the Buccaneers (3-1) as badly as everyone else they’ve faced this season, winning 48-0 in front of a sold out Neil C. Brown Stadium last Friday night.

While storms rolled through the region causing many to be without power; Clairton’s high-powered offense electrified the home crowd.

A few NFL rules and regulations can be difficult to understand, sometimes even bordering on the absurd, but there is one particular rule that make perfect sense to me. It is better known as the blackout rule. If a game is not sold out 72 hours before kickoff then the locals have to show up in person at the stadium or put their hands on the radio in order to receive their “football” healing for the week.

Lincoln hosted Garfield for their homecoming series at Chadwick Field on Saturday.

The two organizations from the Allegheny County Midget Football League split the series. Lincoln’s Twerps and Mighty Mites garnered two shutouts, 12-0 and 13-0, against a Garfield unit that usually dominates this series from top to bottom.

“We’re just glad that we were able to stay competitive,” said Jose Regus, a representative of the Lincoln organization who also serves as the league’s president. “It speaks to the progression of our organization. There were times in which they’d beat us every time. We’re determined not to have that happen anymore.”
