Christian Clutter scored four touchdowns four different ways as McGuffey cruised to a 28-0 victory over visiting Ambridge in the season opener Friday night.

The Highlanders made it 14-0 in the second quarter when Clutter returned an Ambridge punt 42 yards for a touchdown. before the first half drew to a close, Clutter caught a 24-yard TD pass from marshall Whipkey to give McGuffey a 21-point lead. Whipkey completed five of nine passes for 72 yards.
Clutter capped the scoring with a one-yard plunge in the fourth quarter. The senior running back led the Highlanders’ ground game with 81 yards on nine carries.
