Defensive discipline played a big role in Belle Vernon Area’s 46-14 win over McKeesport to win the Big 8 Conference title two weeks ago. As the Leopards prepare to open the playoffs with a WPIAL quarterfinal Friday, discipline will still be key. Only this time, it’s going to be the Leopards’ defensive backfield maintaining its focus. The New Castle Red Hurricanes (7-4) blow into the Beach at James Weir Stadium for a 7 p.m. kickoff, fresh off a 31-19 win at No. 8 Highlands in the first week.
