Altoona Head Coach: Vince Nedimyer Last Season: 5-7 Last year the Mountain Lions finished 5-7 bowing out to State College in the District VI title game.

July 27, 2024 | Billy Splain
Harrisburg class of 2026 lineman Kevin Brown has been one of the most sought after linemen in PA since, oh, probably another big time lineman who played for the Cougars. That was a beast named Micah Parsons. Brown though, is an offensive lineman and that 6’5 270 pound frame caught the attention of PSU offensive […]

District 3 Power Rankings after Week 4 Bishop McDevitt- (4-0): As expected McDevitt won 68-7 in an extremely lopsided game versus Palmyra.
