They simply don’t get much bigger than this. Two of the top teams in the state regardless of conference or classification. This is going to be potentially the game of the year in the Keystone State.
Luckily for both teams, this game won’t impact them a ton as it is a non-conference matchup, but the bragging rights are surely on the line. McKeesport has simply been phenomenal this season, a true threat to win it all. Through seven games, they’ve allowed just 19 points and have pitched four shutouts in the process. Gateway, on the other hand, has dominated over the last few weeks and hopes to continue its hot run against the Tigers on Friday night.

South Side (7-0) vs Laurel (5-1)
A great conference matchup in the WPIAL A Big 7, Laurel will look to upset South Side and end the Rams perfect season. South side’s defense has been outstanding this season, allowing just 29 points. Will the Spartans be able to find enough offensive success on Friday to pull out a win?

Redbank Valley (7-0) vs Port Allegany (6-1)
Redbank Valley has left little doubt this season about how good of a team they are but Port Allegany has quietly put in a very strong season of their own. The Gators defense is allowing under 10 points per game but they haven’t faced an offense as explosive as Redbank Valley’s yet this. With both defenses coming into this game hot, it will be intriguing to see which offense gets the upper hand.

Grove City (4-3) vs Sharpville (6-1)
Grove City will look to play spoiler tonight against Sharpville but keep their own dreams alive. If the Eagles hope to top the Blue Devils, they’ll need a strong offensive effort against a Sharpville defense that has been strong this season.

Lakeview (5-2) vs Mercer (5-2)
Both Lakeview and Mercer have playoff hopes that are still well alive entering this evening’s matchup and the winner of this District 10 Region 1 matchup will have an upper hand going forward. Reynolds sits at top of the conference alongside Lakeview but a win by Mercer would make things awfully interesting heading into the final weeks.
