Springdale knew it would need to play a near-perfect game to keep its WPIAL playoff hopes alive in a matchup against No. 2 Clairton. 

However, the Bears capitalized on back-to-back short fields with touchdowns in the first half to provide Clairton (7-2, 5-0) all the cushion it needed in a 43-7 win over Springdale (6-3, 2-3) on Friday night at Veterans Memorial Field in Springdale in Class A Eastern Conference play. 

Junior running back Isaiah Berry ran seven times for 167 yards and four touchdowns for the Bears. 

“Berry is starting to understand how that zone run works,” Clairton coach Wayne Wade said. “He stands in the pocket and he has enough speed and quickness. If he gets behind those big guys, it’s hard to see him and he squirts out and he’s gone.”
