Game(s) of the Week:

Westmont, from District 6, beat Clearfield 21-0 in an LHAC crossover game. Westy scored in the first quarter and again in the second to take a 14-0 lead. Clearfield got on the board before halftime to cut the Hilltopper lead in half. The Bison came out of the break and asserted their authority by completely dominating the third quarter and tying the game at 14. Early in the final frame of action, Clearfield took the lead but missed the extra point which proved to be the game’s deciding factor scorewise. Westmont finally put something together, which they had not since early in the second stanza. On a 3rd down and 17, they completed a long pass for a first down and eventually rode that momentum to score with only 2:20 remaining. The Hilltoppers converted the PAT and intercepted a Clearfield pass to win the nail-biter in dramatic fashion, ruining Clearfield’s chance to not have a losing regular season record.
