The North Hills Indians came to Wexford to face North Allegheny in a game with huge playoff implications for both teams in Section 3A-2. The Tigers (1-5) were just behind the Indians (2-4) in section play, with both teams looking for the win. North Hills jumped out to a 3-0 lead and never trailed, on its way to a 20-9 win at Newman Stadium.
