October 2026
Hampton season over; Kiski awarded playoffs.
October 31, 2026 | Greg Hillman
Scott Township, PA– Hampton’s season has officially ended after the selection committee decided to take Kiski over Hampton and Ringgold. Hampton falls victim to the head-to-head criteria for the second straight year. Last year, Hampton was left out of the playoffs after losing to Chartiers Valley, which was awarded the final wild card spot by […]
Hampton defeats Franklin Regional 17-10; Future uncertain.
October 31, 2026 | Greg Hillman
ALLISON PARK, PA– They need that win. Not only to salvage their season, but to give the committee something to consider going into their decision. However, it didn’t look like it was going to be a happy clubhouse for most of the night. Both teams started the night with interceptions. Neither team came away with […]

October 23, 2026 | Greg Hillman
GLENSHAW, PA– The Shaler Titans have clinched a playoff spot for the second consecutive year following their 16-12 win over Hampton on Friday night. Shaler handled their new conference well this season. The Titans took three straight conference wins in what was seen as “must-win” games, with what is now a “winner-take-all” for the Greater […]
A ‘second family’; Why Hampton’s football team runs deep.
October 14, 2026 | Greg Hillman
HAMPTON TWP., PA– It’s not just the 22 players on the field. Or the coaches on the sidelines and in the press box. It’s about everyone. That’s the whole concept of a team, right? Meet Declan Dunlap (So.-featured left in picture) and Max Cieply (Jr.-featured right), Hampton’s two team managers. They keep day-to-day operations running […]
‘Terrible performance’; Hampton obliterated by Kiski Area 45-10.
October 9, 2026 | Greg Hillman
ALLISON PARK, PA– “What I did like? That it’s over.” That’s what Hampton head coach Steve Sciullo said after Hampton’s depleting 45-10 loss to Kiski Area on Friday night. “That was a terrible performance by us,” he added. “Hats off to the kids over at Kiski. They played very well tonight.” I’ll let you watch […]
3 Things: +1 to look for: Hampton vs Kiski Area
October 8, 2026 | Greg Hillman
ALLISON PARK, PA– Kiski and Hampton are set to play for just the 5th time ever on Friday night. This is a critical game in the Greater Allegheny Conference. Hampton comes in at 1-0, and Kiski comes in at 0-1 in conference play. The Cavaliers very much benefit from a win against the Talbots. A […]
Hampton’s defense ‘On fire’; Defeat Indiana 21-12
October 3, 2026 | Greg Hillman
ALLISON PARK, PA– It’s a good start. Not only that, but the offense needed it as well. Hampton’s offense finally found some footing late in their 21-12 victory over the Indiana Indians in the Greater Allegheny Conference opener Friday night from wet Fridley Field. After just putting up 23 points in the last two games […]
3 Things to look for: Hampton vs Indiana
October 1, 2026 | Greg Hillman
ALLISON PARK, PA– Hampton and Indiana meet for the 7th consecutive year on Friday night at Fridley Field. This is the 19th time these two schools have met since 2004. Hampton has won 13 of those 18 games in that span. Indiana hasn’t beaten Hampton since 2013. Both teams are looking for what could be […]
3 Things to Look for: Central Valley vs Hampton
September 24, 2026 | Greg Hillman
MONACA, PA– Hampton travels north this week to face Central Valley, a team they have never beaten. The Warriors have allowed only 18 combined points against the Talbots in their first three contests and have won all three by a hefty margin. The Warriors are getting some local attention after reaching the WPIAL 3A semifinals […]
Zach Benedek ‘extremely proud’ of group in 1st career win.
September 19, 2026 | Greg Hillman
ALLISON PARK, PA– It’s not all about scoring. As the saying goes, “Defense wins championships”. But it also wins games, much like in Mars’ 14-7 victory over Hampton on Friday night. Both teams got off to uninspiring starts in the 1st half. Both teams headed to the locker room scoreless in a defense masterclass. Mars […]
3 Things to look for: Hampton vs Mars
September 17, 2026 | Greg Hillman
ALLISON PARK, PA– Hampton and Mars kick off at Fridley Field on Friday for the 19th meeting since 2008. Mars has dominated this series, winning 15 of its 18 previous matchups. But this year is a much different season for both teams. Hampton has won two of its first three games for the second year […]
‘Talbots beat Talbots’; Hampton falls to Armstrong 27-20
September 5, 2026 | Greg Hillman
ALLISON PARK, PA– On paper, Armstrong was a heavy underdog—off paper, anything but. Armstrong played a complete game Friday night, defeating Hampton 27-20 for their third consecutive win over Hampton. The River Hawks’ running game –as in how fast they ran, literally—was a big contributor to their victory at Fridley. Hampton’s defense had no answer […]
3 Things look to for: Hampton vs Armstrong
September 3, 2026 | Greg Hillman
ALLISON PARK, PA– Hampton and Armstrong are set to meet for the 10th time in their schools’ history on Friday night. Hampton currently leads the all-time series five games to four. However, Armstrong has won the last two matchups and three of the last four. Not to mention, Armstrong has won three of five games […]
Hampton wins “Mayhem on Middle”; Defeat Deer Lakes 26-13
August 29, 2026 | Greg Hillman
ALLISON PARK, PA– It’s ok to feel a certain way about this team. Because they feel the same way. A packed house with two communities eager to renew a rivalry a quarter-century in the making. Heath Borgo set the tempo right out of the gate in Hampton’s 26-13 victory over Deer Lakes on Friday night […]
Hampton looking for ‘refreshed energy’ in 2026
August 22, 2026 | Greg Hillman
ALLISON PARK, PA– One game… That was the difference between a postseason berth and a locker cleanout. It’s something that has been lingering in the back of the team’s mind for the better part of ten months. The fact that it took place in early September goes to show how important each game is in […]
Mars Clinches Playoff Berth Following Dominant 35-0 Win Over Hampton
October 19, 2024 | Garrett Dollin
HAMPTON, PA – It was a dominating performance for the Fightin’ Planets defense Friday night. Despite a quiet first quarter, that wouldn’t be a sign for things to come for the Mars offense. Following a muffed punt recovered by the Planets, Eric Kasperowicz Jr powered 12-yards into the end zone for the first score of […]
