August 29, 2021 | Andrew Schaffer
In the third game of the Western PA vs everyone football showcase between Woodland Hills and Wayne Valley the story at first was missed opportunities by both teams, but eventually Woodland Hills got going in their 20-0 victory. “It was a little bit of a slow start, a couple passes that were double caught, […]
Harrisburg Comes Back to Win Western PA Showcase All-Timer @HBGCougar_FBall
August 29, 2021 | Nate Grella
In 2020, fans across the state were limited to watching players play in empty stadiums on single cam live streams. In 2021, the Harrisburg Cougars, sparked by their passionate fanbase behind them who drove 3 and a half hours to even be in attendance, led a furious comeback against the defending undefeated 5A champions. “It […]
New Brighton slips past Western Beaver in overtime @newbrighton_pa @WesternBeaverFB
August 29, 2021 | Shane Lux
Industry: Kevin Williams’ 1-yard touchdown run in overtime propelled New Brighton to a 27-20 overtime victory over Western Beaver Saturday afternoon. “You never know what you’re going get in the first game,” said New Brighton head coach Joe Greco. “Western Beaver has a lot of physical skill.” On a sunny day that saw temperatures […]
Imhotep wins defensive slugfest over Central Catholic @TepFootball @PCC_FOOTBALL
August 28, 2021 | Billy Splain
It wasn’t easy at times for either team. Each team brought a defense that was as stifling as the heat on this hot summer night. But when it mattered, the Panther offense came through. Following a fumble by Central Catholic late in the game with the game tied at 6, Imhotep’s offense finally got the […]
Sto-Rox defense paves way to win over Bishop Sycamore @Chise89
August 28, 2021 | Billy Splain
Defense wins football games. There hasn’t likely been a term about the sport used more than that one. And last night the Viking of Sto-Rox lived up to that moniker. Trailing by 7 late in the second, the Viking defense forced a fumble and drove to the Centaurian goal line, but a fumble as the […]
Blackhawk Sets Tone Early in 31-20 Win Over Beaver Falls
August 28, 2021 | Mark Ross

In their Week 0 game […]
Buccaneers turn tight first half into second half blowout 27-6 @BruceDavidson37 @PaBackyard
August 28, 2021 | Nate Grella
By: Bruce Davidson For the first three quarters it looked as though an early game mistake would be the difference maker between Chartiers-Houston and Fort Cherry on Friday night. At the final whistle it wasn’t anywhere near a factor. The Fort Cherry Rangers got the early jump on the Chartiers-Houston Bucs following an opening drive […]
Moon runs past Seneca Valley for convincing victory @Moon_Football @moon_area @SV_Sports
August 28, 2021 | Andrew Schaffer
It was a night where Moon’s run game dominated the game. The team collectively ran for 327 yards in the 38-21 victory over Seneca Valley. Several players touched the ball for Moon and eventually wore down Seneca Valley. “We have to create and find depth, we have to find 4 or 5 kids to give […]
Canon Mac Shuts Out Trinity In Impressive Offensive Performance 48-0 @AngottRyan @nathangrella
August 28, 2021 | Nate Grella
Washington residents would be surprised that the last meeting between the Big Macs and Hillers occurred 10 years ago. Current Washington residents would also be stunned to learn the outcome of that game- a 19-18 Canon Mac victory. Since that time, both schools have suffered up and downs on the football field, however neither has […]
Carmichaels defeats Waynesburg Central 54-33 to take Week 0 @YaugerCaleb @PaBackyard
August 28, 2021 | Nate Grella
By Caleb Yauger The last time the Carmichaels Mighty Mikes and the Waynesburg Central Raiders faced off in a regular season football game was the 1990’s. Waynesburg easily defeated Carmichaels in the previous matchup 32-0. This time in 2021, however, it was Carmichaels who had the last laugh. With the home crowd cheering them on, […]
