Upper St. Clair Routs Canon-McMillan

Panthers improve to 2-0 while Big Macs still seek first win.

On paper, it looked like a mismatch: Upper St. Clair, which advanced to last year’s WPIAL Class AAAA championship game, vs. Canon-McMillan, a team that has one win since 2009.

But you never know. That’s why they play the games.

Unfortunately for the Big Macs, Friday’s contest lived down to the apparent disparity, as the Panthers scored early and often on the way to a 50-0 victory.
