Woodland Hills vs Gateway
There won’t be many games across the state with more talent on the field than this one on Friday evening. Woodland Hills last weekend eeked out a victory over William Penn 28-24 in a fantastic game. Gateway, on the other hand, got their season off to a great start with a big win over the defending state champions in Mt. Lebanon.
This matchup has a chance to be a high-scoring one and it will be intriguing to see how Woodland Hill’s offense matchups against Gateway’s strong defense. Gateway will put up their fair share of points, can Woodland Hills keep up?

Avonworth vs Central Valley
Another game full of talent, this matchup should be a good one as two of the best teams in the state look to pick up their second win of the year. Avonworth got their season started with a 27-7 win in week one over Grove City while Central Valley defeated trinity 43-20. Avonworth is playing up a classification in this one which should be provide a good barometer of Antelopes this season.

District 8:
Westinghouse vs Steelton-Highspire
I’m really excited about this one personally and wish I could make it to this game because it is going to be a special one to say the least as there will be 21 ranked prospects playing in this game.
The Bulldogs dominated Clairton in week one 40-8 while Steelton-Highspire escaped the Peach Bowl Classic with a 21-14 win over Bishop Canevin. If the Steamrollers want to find their second win of the year on Friday night, they’ll have to play much better than they did a week ago.

District 9
Karns City vs Redbank Valley
Karns City enters this week looking to bounce back from a 28-7 loss to DuBois last weekend as they match up with the 1-0 Redbank Valley Bulldogs who steamrolled Smethport last weekend 53-8. If the Gremlins are going to win this one, it will be on the shoulders of 2023 QB Eric Booher Eric Booher 6'0" | QB Karns City | 2023 State PA .

Brockway vs DuBois
An underrated matchup headed into this weekend, this should be hard fought game and could go down to the wire. Brockway found a way to win last week 28-25 over Kane while DuBois as mentioned above took care of Karn City 28-7. Don’t expect a shootout in this one but it also should provide 2025 QB Brayden Fox Brayden Fox 5'9" | 160 lbs | QB Brockway | 2025 PA with another good early-season test.
Key Prospects:
2025 QB Brayden Fox Brayden Fox 5'9" | 160 lbs | QB Brockway | 2025 PA – Brockway
District 10:
Mercyhurst Prep vs Slippery Rock
Our final game is Mercyhurst Prep and Slippery Rock. Despite a 17-7 loss to Fairview last weekend, Mercyhurst Prep could still put themselves in a position for a good season with a win on Friday night. Slippery Rock, on the other hand, could get off to a fast 2-0 start after a 37-20 win over General McLane last weekend. If Mercyhurst is going to walk away with a win on Friday night, 2023 QB David Bahm David Bahm 6'5" | 190 lbs | QB Mercyhurst Prep | 2023 State PA will be their biggest key to success.
Key Prospects
2023 QB David Bahm David Bahm 6'5" | 190 lbs | QB Mercyhurst Prep | 2023 State PA – Mercyhurst Prep
