SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. (D9Sports.com) — Hanging in there against a tough Sharpsville squad, the Kane Wolves had the ball with a first down at their own 45 trailing 13-6 with 6:17 left in the first half.
But by halftime, Sharpsville led 37-6.
The District 10 Class A champion Blue Devils scored 24 points in the final 4:49 of the first half on their way to a 30-point second quarter and 50-14 rout of the District 9 champion Wolves in their PIAA quarterfinal matchup Friday night at a frigid Mihalik-Thompson Stadium at Slippery Rock University.
Sharpsville (11-3) owned the line of scrimmage and limited the Kane running game to just 21 yards on 29 carries. Next up in next week’s PIAA semifinals for the Blue Devils is WPIAL champion Clairton, which routed District 5’s Berlin, 52-24.
The Blue Devils got two touchdowns apiece from Greg Popatak, Khaliq Ragster and Tyrin Peavy, who ended the first half with an 80-yard interception return.
