In Pittsburgh, the excitement for high school football heats up this week as the City League prepares for a thrilling matchup. On Thursday night, Cupples Stadium will be the place to be as the Westinghouse Bulldogs take on the Allderdice Dragons in what is shaping up to be a significant game for both teams. With District 8 bragging rights on the line and both teams sporting identical records of 2-0 in the City League and 4-1 overall, fans can expect an intense matchup.
Both teams have been formidable in their early district games. The Bulldogs, fresh off a four-game winning streak since their opening loss to Beaver, have outscored their previous opponents, Brashear and Perry, by an incredible combined score of 132-0. On the other side, the Dragons are no pushover, having defeated the same teams by a score of 74-0. This clean slate in district play showcases the strength of both teams’ defenses.
The historical rivalry between Westinghouse and Allderdice adds another layer of excitement. In their last fourteen encounters over the past seven seasons, they have faced each other in critical playoff situations with Westinghouse holding a slim edge, winning four of the seven matchups. However, in the regular season, the Bulldogs have dominated in recent years, winning eight straight contests since the Dragons’ last regular-season victory back in 2015.
The tension is palpable, as both teams have shown their capability on the field. Fans are encouraged to come out and support their teams as the City League rivalry continues this Thursday. Kickoff is set for 7 PM, and the action promises to be nothing short of thrilling.
