LOYSBURG — The Inter-County Conference South Division championship was up for grabs Friday night, and Windber seized it. Emphatically. The Ramblers controlled tempo on both sides of the ball and dominated the second half en route to a convincing 35-6 victory over host Northern Bedford in ...
By Baron Dionis For the Mirror HOMER-CITY — A back and forth battle between two single-A teams fighting for a playoff spot came down to the final moments. After nearly three hours of hard fought football, Portage beat Homer-Center, 34-28, at Homer City Memorial Field. The Mustangs were propelled by a stellar performance from Easton Slanoc, who finished with two interceptions, a pick-six, a passing touchdown and a receiving touchdown.

Central’s offense, led by quarterback Eli Muthler, came alive in the third quarter and put together a pair of ...
By Kerry Naylor For the Mirror SPRING MILLS — It’s not often the post-game handshake comes with an apology, but that was the case last night in Spring Mills when Tyrone coach John Franco and Penns Valley coach Martin Tobias met at midfield minutes after the Golden Eagles had defeated Valley in a Laurel Highlands East contest.
