We’re getting an early kickoff this week, a little welcomed treat in Week 9 of the PIAA football season.

Butler’s trip north to Erie includes a 6 p.m. start, which means we’ll get an early jump on the updates tonight for the penultimate week of the regular season. Much is at stake, from Butler’s quest for another winning record to Freeport trying to upset Allegheny 7 Conference-leading Highlands.

Eagle reporters will be at three games tonight — Butler at Erie (Derek), Port Allegany at Karns City (Derek Pyda) and Freeport at Highlands (William Pitts). Follow this page for updates and scores from those games and all the rest throughout the night. Eagle sports editor Jake Merda Adams will post updates and highlights along with scores from kickoff to the final whistle.
