Peters Township looks to rebound against Moon

After a disappointing loss to rival Canon-McMillan, 35-26, in a thrilling non-conference clash, Peters Township looks to get back on the winning track when it returns to Allegheny Eight Conference action. The Indians (4-2, 2-1) host Moon (2-4, 1-2) at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 5.
In the loss to the Big Macs, Logan Pfeuffer excelled. The sophomore quarterback completed 22 of 28 passes for 304 yards and two touchdowns to Jackson McCloskey (30 yards) and Aiden McCall (15 yards).
But things started poorly for the Indians as Drew Engel returned an interception 24 yards for a score on their first possession. Josh O’Hare then rambled for 214 yards and three touchdowns of 1, 35 and 23 yards.
Engel also pulled in a 15-yard scoring strike from Jon Quinque, who completed 13 of 21 passes for 198 yards. Engel finished with 101 yards on six receptions.
McCloskey had 117 yards on four grabs. Ryan Magiske added two running touchdowns of 16 and 6 yards for the Indians.
“You had two good teams out there battling,” PT coach T.J. Plack said. “We lost the turnover battle, and that’s exactly what it came down to.”
