Monessen’s defense registered six takeaways, and the offense rode the arm and legs of quarterback Isaiah Beltram in a 60-3 victory over Bentworth Friday night.
The Greyhounds (2-4, 2-2) moved to third in the Tri-County South with three more conference games left.
“Last week we saw that we had some firepower against a good team in West Greene,” Monessen coach Mike Blainefield said. “Even though it was a loss, we gained a lot of confidence. We are very young and every week we are learning how to win. That game carried into tonight’s performance.”
Beltram went 7-for-16 for 157 passing yards, ran for 64 yards and accounted for five touchdowns.
“Isaiah is just a dynamic player,” Blainefield said. “He is tough to tackle in space and is a very diverse player, too. He can throw, run and catch the ball. When we give him the ball, usually good things happen for our offense.”
