With  five offensive touchdowns, one receiving and four passing, the Peters Township Indians cruised their way to a strong offensive victory over the McKeesport Tigers. 

In the first half of the game, both Peters Township and McKeesport were both having defensive battles, keeping each other out of the endzone until late in the first quarter with a Peters Township rushing touchdown.

The first half with a score of 14-0 with Peters Township leading, the game seemed like it was going to be a defensive battle, but that wasn’t the case after halftime.

The second half started off slow, with both teams completing three and out drives. Then the Indians recovered a fumble and three plays later ended up in the endzone with their first receiving touchdown.

Peters Township then started to dominate on both sides of the ball with an interception that turned into a rushing touchdown making the score 28-0.

The final offensive touchdown of the game came with 9:35 remaining in the fourth quarter and was the fourth rushing touchdown for Peters Township, giving them a  lead of 35-0.

McKeesport made their way onto the board with a 70 yard fumble recovery return which would end up being their only points for the game. Peters Township responded with a fumble recovery touchdown for themselves making the final score 42-7
