West Greene held a 21-0 lead after three quarters and then fended off visiting Monessen for a 28-12 Tri-County South football victory Friday night to clinch a WPIAL playoff spot.

Colin Brady rushed for 116 yards and two touchdowns and Wes Whipkey completed 6 of 12 passes for 82 yards and two TDs to lead the way for the first-pace Pioneers (5-0, 6-2) who have won six in a row.

Whipkey hit Dalton Lucey for a 40-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter, and then found Bryce Anderson open for 7-yard scoring pass in the third quarter.

Brady’s 29-yard TD run early in the fourth quarter made it 21-0.

The Greyhounds (2-3, 3-5) got within 21-8 on Davion Burks’s 6-yard touchdown run and Anthony Crews’ two-point conversion run but West Greene answered with a 16-yard touchdown jaunt by Brady to make it 28-8 as Kevin Thompson was 4 for 4 on extra points on the night.

Monessen’s Lorenzo Gardner threw a 25-yard TD pass to Jamar Bethea to cap the scoring.
