The Westinghouse Bulldogs will stay at home for another week and welcome the Windber Ramblers at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Both have allowed few points on average, (Westinghouse: 7.7, Windber: 10.8) so any points scored will be well earned.
If Windber heads into halftime all tied up, they better play a good second half: that's when Westinghouse took over last week. Westinghouse breezed by Taylor Allderdice to the tune of 40-12 back in October. Considering the Bulldogs have won seven contests by more than 27 points this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.
Meanwhile, it can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Windber had no problem doing just that on Saturday. They came out on top against the Panthers by a score of 14-7. Winning may never get old, but the Ramblers sure are getting used to it with their seventh in a row.
Lucas Oleksa was the offensive standout of the game as he rushed for 131 yards. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in September.
Windber was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 263 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 159 rushing yards in 15 consecutive matchups dating back to last season.
Westinghouse's victory was their tenth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 8-1. They've dominated over that stretch too, winning by an average of 38.1 points. As for Windber, their win bumped their record up to 10-2.
Westinghouse barely slipped by Windber in their previous matchup back in November of 2021, winning 35-34. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Windber's John Shuster, who rushed for 123 yards and three touchdowns. Now that he won't be playing on Friday, will it be easier for Westinghouse to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
