McDonald, PA — The Long-awaited conference slate started last week. The Lions (6-0) were able to take care of Baldwin (0-6) to begin conference play. But eyes quickly turn to the next opponent as the Lions will take on the top seeded Upper Saint Clair Panthers at 7pm on Friday. The biggest matchup that has come to South Fayette Stadium in recent memory, the Panthers play a physical brand of football and are led by a big OL and a veteran group of skilled players. Junior RB #1 Dante Coury and senior wildcat QB #2 Julian Dahlem each average over 100 yards rushing per game. #23 Van Hellman sets the tone for the Panthers as their lead hat in their run game. Defensively, the Panthers are anchored on the line by Senior #58 Nate Stohl. Stohl, who measures in at 6'3, 270, leads the team in sacks and TFLs. He is committed to Princeton to continue his playing career. Joining him as a future Tiger is fellow DL #87 Michael Albert (Sr, 6'3 260), who plays DE.
