Lions jump on Laurel Highlands early and finish with a 69-0 win

South Fayette used first quarter dominance to jump on Laurel Highlands 27-0 on way to a 69-0 route. The Lions scored twice in the first 1:20 to go up 14-0 including a defensive stand featuring three straight tackles by Senior Jackson Stilley to get the ball back to the South Fayette offense. 

Offensively, the Lions used a fast pace in the first quarter featuring Sophomore RB Aayden Wright. Aayden carried the ball 10 times for 207 yards and 3 Touchdowns. On the season, he and the offensive line have eclipsed the 1000 yard mark as he leads 4A in rushing. The Lions also received contributions from their TE room with Junior Jacob Bostian starting the scoring with a 35 yard catch and run for a TD and Senior Owen Keener adding two touchdowns in the first half. 

Defensively, the Lions earned their 3rd shut out of the season. A swarming defense held the Mustangs to just 100 total yards and only 22 yards rushing. The defense added forced two turnovers on the day with Senior Alex Deanes getting his second of the season and Wright securing an interception on their first defensive drive.
 

South Fayette returns home next week to face conference opponent Uniontown at 7pm. The schools Hall of Fame Class of 2026 will be honored during the game.
