We would like to welcome everyone to the new PFN wesbite. Although Rich and Tom will still be involved in (probably forever) with high school football, they have decided to pass the torch to the next generation.
“We are officially retiring as co-editors of Pennsylvania Football News, said PFN founders Rich Vetock and Tom Elling in a joint statement. “We want to applaud the many contributors who helped us realize a dream of providing the first-ever newspaper dedicate do Pennsylvania High School football. Without these contributors, it would have been impossible to produce the paper and the subsequent website.”
“We have turned the site over to Chris Kucharski, and we feel very comfortable that Chris will maintain the brand in a highly professional manner. We would like to take this time to wish Chris and his staff the very best and ask that everyone continues to support high school football in the Keystone State. “

“I am both honored and privileged to take over the reins at PFN, ” said Kucharski, who has been covering football for 15 years in both District 7 and District 2. “The impact both Rich and Tom have had on high school football in PA is immeasurable.

As you can already see, the new website is the first step.
