On the GEFA Trail—The GEFA SEASON STADIUM REVIEW
August 3, 2024 | Guy Smith
2024 Episode 15. This Spring, Pam and I decided we were going to follow GEFA, the Great Eastern Football Association playing 8-main semi-pro ball, for the entire season. We didn’t commit to going to a game every week, but when we did go, we went to see different teams play each week. We never went […]

July 22, 2024 | Guy Smith
2024 Episode 14. We were planning on going to our 20th and final Spring/Summer football game this weekend, but by some luck we ended up with a 21st. This was easily the most football games we have ever attended during the spring and summer months. And although 21 is only a small percentage of the […]

2024 Episode 13. After an almost month-long break for us (we skipped the two weekends of playoffs), we were back on the GEFA trail for the Keystone Bowl. It’s not like we sat home for a month, as from the final regular season game on June 15 to the championship game on July 13, we […]

May 11, 2024 | Greg Ricupero
The Berks County Raptors (2-5) came to Indiana today to play the host Indiana County Crusaders (0-6). The Raptors won their first game of the season last week and were hoping to build on that. The sun was out when I got there but started to rain just before the game started and rained on […]

Saturday I covered my first GEFA game of the season against the first place team in the Valley Conference, the Wilkes-Barre Warriors(3-2) and the last place team in the Mountain Conference, the Indiana County Crusaders(0-4). I planned on getting there early and doing some interviews. However the local track meet had a two and a […]

Five straight Saturdays of spring football. Life is good. After a week break for Harrisburg Stampede AIF indoor football at the Farm Show, we were back on the GEFA trail.

On the GEFA Trail: Bedford County Buffaloes

This season, we decided to go to GEFA 8-man semi-pro football games as many Saturdays as our schedule allows. Two for two. Last week we were at Central Columbia High School for the “Kickoff Classic.” For what GEFA calls “Week 1” of the season we had four game choices. Guy writes a weekly auto racing […]
