Armstrong at Peters Township

Records: Armstrong is 5-5, Peters Township is 8-2

Class: 5A

Winner plays: Either Penn-Trafford or North Hills in the quarterfinals.

Who to watch: The connection between Peters Township quarterback Logan Pfeuffer and Josh Casilli has put the Indians’ offense at another level this season. In Pfeuffer’s last four games, he has 13 touchdown passes and only 18 incompletions. Casilli, his favorite target, has 41 receptions for 717 yards and 15 total touchdowns. Running a spread offense, Armstrong quarterback Jalen Price makes the River Hawks’ offense go with his legs by following a decent-sized offensive line. Price has more than 700 rushing yards.

Noteworthy: A four-game losing streak in the middle of the season put Armstrong’s playoff hopes in limbo. It won its last two games of the regular season to earn a berth in the postseason. … Against common opponents – North Hills and Chartiers Valley – Peters Township is 2-0 and Armstrong is 0-2. … The River Hawks are 0-3 against teams with winning records. … Peters Township is on its first four-game winning streak since 2010. … This is the first time the Indians have made the postseason in back-to-back years since 2012 and 2013.
