Jack Martinec’s Four Touchdowns Lead Cochranton Past Seneca // @CochrantonPride @_senecafootballPride
September 10, 2021 | TC Jones
Though senior runningback Jack Martinec’s four touchdowns were the storyline, it was the Cochranton Cardinal’s dominant offensive and defensive line play that made the 41-8 victory over the Seneca Bobcats (0-3) look easy. Though the Cardinals (2-0) were undersized in almost every position, you never would have known it by the way Cochranton’s physicality imposed […]

The Marauders (1-2) suffer another tough loss, taking their second loss of the season to Richland, by a score of 28-3. BG started off very strong, recovering an onside kick on the opening kickoff.

Protime Predictions Week 2, 2021
September 9, 2021 | Phil Myers
This past Sunday in church Protime struggled to stay awake. He remembered a few years ago when a gentleman pressed the snooze button and his head did a double dribble off the pew in front of him giving him a nice goose bump and a case of embarrassment that haunts him to this day. Protime […]

Surprising Results for the Wyoming Valley Conference
September 8, 2021 | John Kotsko
Last week was a much better week weather than in Week 1. However, there were quite some unexpected results in last week’s contests. Berwick beating Crestwood was quite the surprise and the fact that only one offensive touchdown was scored between both teams. Lake-Lehman and Nanticoke being scoreless til the 4th was very surprising as […]

Dragons breathe fire in a blowout win over Rangers @CentralDragonFB @FH_Rangers
September 8, 2021 | Connor Walker
Central set the tone for the game when after only a few plays, Devon Boyles had the first touchdown reception of the game on a 38 yard pass from Jeff Hoenstine. A botched extra point attempt then followed. That missed extra point didn’t slow down the Dragons as they cruised to a 46-15 win. The […]
