The Upper St. Clair Football team squared off with Bethel Park tonight in the WPIAL Class 5A Semifinals as they looked to avenge their regular season loss to the Blackhawks. A steady downpour of rain played a factor throughout the night, but the Panthers set the tone early as they took a 7-0 lead thanks to a 27 yard rushing touchdown by Aidan Besselman. Bethel Park would respond with a first half touchdown of their own as the teams entered the locker rooms tied at seven. Cody Marn gave the Panthers a lead in the third quarter as he broke a 64 yard receiving touchdown and Bennett Henderson would convert a field goal in the fourth as Upper St. Clair took home the 17-7 victory. Jamaal Brown paced the Panther offense with 135 rushing yards. Upper St. Clair will now face Pine Richland for the WPIAL Class 5A title on Saturday at Norwin High School. Kickoff is scheduled for 12 PM.
