EBENSBURG — Chestnut Ridge senior tailback Haydan Webb takes great pride in his running style, a form where he attempts to inflict as much pain on the opposing defender as possible by lowering his shoulder. The Lions’ offensive workhorse turned in another stellar performance on the ground on Friday night, racking up 202 yards and four touchdowns in a 33-15 victory over Central Cambria. “I definitely play physical,” Webb said. “I like to put the pain to them until they don’t like to tackle me anymore.

Wedel a weapon for Tigers

By Michael Boytim mboytim@altoonamirror.com Hollidaysburg is off to its best start since 1999, but the Golden Tigers’ next opponent might be their best to date — Fort Hill out of Maryland, a team they are 0-7 against the past eight years. “They are one of the best programs in Maryland,” Hollidaysburg coach Homer DeLattre said. “We talk about it every year. They have won eight of the last 11 state titles in their classification, and they are definitely as good or better than they have been in past years. We’re getting closer.

BG-Tyrone matchup part of tough LHAC

Last season’s Laurel Highlands Athletic Conference matchup between Bishop Guilfoyle Academy and Tyrone at Mansion Park featured all of the game-ending intrigue that anybody could have hoped for, as the Golden Eagles stopped the Marauders short of the end zone on a 2-point conversion run attempt in the closing minutes and held on for a 28-27 victory. “We went for two, and got stopped,’’ BG coach Justin Wheeler said. “Tyrone has some athletes, and they always play hard. This is a tough conference to play in all season long.’’ Both the unbeaten Marauders and Golden Eagles ...
