Upper St. Clair defeated West Allegheny 45-13 on Friday to complete an undefeated regular season and win the Allegheny Six Conference title. The third-ranked Panthers dominated the game, particularly on the ground and in the trenches, despite West Allegheny scoring first.

West Allegheny's Nico Police returned the opening kickoff nearly 100 yards for a touchdown to put the fifth-ranked Indians ahead 7-0 within 20 seconds. Upper St. Clair responded quickly. Luca Coury scored on a 25-yard run with 9:34 left in the first quarter, and John Banbury forced a fumble on West Allegheny quarterback Mason Bryan, returning it 10 yards to set up his own 4-yard touchdown run just 59 seconds later to give the Panthers a 14-7 lead.

Upper St. Clair extended the advantage to 21-7 with 8:32 remaining in the second quarter when Josh Snyder threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to tackle Ryan Robbins, who was lined up as an eligible receiver. Upper St. Clair coach Mike Junko praised his team's response to West Allegheny's scheme. 'Our kids didn't panic and sorted through some different looks that we haven't seen on film,' Junko said. 'Then our playmakers did a good job of finding ways to make plays.'
