West Greene brought the WPIAL’s leading rusher to Clairton, but the Bears ended up being the ones running wild.
No. 2 Clairton put up big play after big play, scoring 35 points in the game’s first 18 minutes and cruising to a 49-7 win over No. 4 West Greene in a nonconference battle of ranked Class A teams Friday at Neil C. Brown Stadium.
The spotlight matchup — the defense of Clairton (6-2) against the running of West Greene’s Ben Jackson — went mostly the Bears’ way. Jackson still finished with 158 yards on 19 carries, the majority on an 80-yard touchdown run, but the offense for the Pioneers (7-1) finished with just 174 total yards and three turnovers.
