While an administrative error handed Butler its first winning season since 1997 on Wednesday night, the Golden Tornado left no doubt on Friday they planned to earn it on the field. Butler bullied Allderdice from the outset of its matchup, building a 21-point first-quarter lead before blowing by the Dragons 35-8 at Cupples Stadium.

The Golden Tornado (7-1) were led by quarterback Nicco Baggetta, who passed for 183 yards and threw two touchdown passes. Mark Klemz led Butler with 114 yards on 15 carries.

Tre Turner scored the lone touchdown for Allderdice.

What’s up with Westinghouse?
Westinghouse’s streak of 21 consecutive wins in the City League came to a halt Friday night. University Prep was able to pick up a 20-14 win over the Bulldogs. Westinghouse have now lost consecutive games.
Including the forfeit to Butler for using an ineligible player, the Bulldogs are now 5-3 on the season.

Mckeesport's Kemon Spell goes off

McKeesport standout Kemon Spell scored six touchdowns to help the Tigers gain control of first place in the Greater Allegheny Conference. Spell, who told MVI reporter Liam Belan after the game he isn’t 100 percent to Penn State anymore, piled up 420 yards of total offense in a 56-31 win over the Planets.

Hopewell's Marcantonio attempts to get record back
Hopewell kicker Rocco Marcantonio had an opportunity to try and get his WPIAL record for the longest field goal in WPIAL history back.

Marcantonio’s attempt came up short, but the Vikings kicker has twice made a 55-yard attempt in his career. 
With Hopewell’s offense going off in a 48-20 win, the Vikings had plenty of cushion to give him a shot at a make. Fox Chapel's Harran Zureikat, a Georgia recruit, broke Marcantonio's record by making. a 57-yard field goal against Franklin Regional earlier this week.

Don Barclay gets first conference win
Things have been rough for Seneca Valley alum Don Barclay during his first season leading the Raiders program. But the Raiders showed some progress Friday night by beating Hempfield, 47-8.

The Raiders (3-5, 1-3) halted a two-game losing skid with the win. Seneca Valley won’t get a chance to build on this win, as the Raiders will have to contend with Central Catholic and North Allegheny to close the season.
