Riverside will travel to Laurel next week to take on the Spartans on Sept. 6.
Imani Christian 34, Beaver Falls 0
Beaver Falls struggled Friday night in its second matchup of the regular season as the team fell to Imani Christian Friday night. After two quarters of play, the contest between the Saints and Tigers was called due to lightning and because of the City of Pittsburgh's 10 p.m. city light ordinance.
The Tigers sputtered out of the gates offensively as the team rushed for just 25 yards and passed for 52 yards in 24 minutes of game action. Sincere Freeman rushed 16 times for 27 yards in the loss while Za'Saun McElvy hauled in the team's two lone receptions for 52 yards.
