A couple years ago, my friend Brady Appleman had tagged a fine buck that he downed while sitting in a nice treestand. It was a buck to be proud of. That evening, my son, Bob, and Brady were discussing their successes. Bob had also tagged a fine buck that day. Unlike Brady, Bob had not shot the deer from a treestand or while watching a deer crossing. He had pussyfooted through the woods until he had spotted the fine buck. He then steadied his 30.06 on a tree and shot the buck. A couple days...

After the Dragons performance throughout the season, they finally met their match against the Central Valley Warriors last Friday. The Dragons played a fantastic game, yet came up short with a 35-21 loss. The Dragons began their game on the defensive, but a fumble recovery by Josh Waite quickly turned the tides. The Dragons worked their way down the field, leading to a six-yard reception by Hunter Smith to take an early lead. Although Central took an early lead in the first quarter, they couldn'...

Friday night's game at Slippery Rock University presented difficult weather conditions for both the Dragons and the Eagles, but Central ultimately persevered through the slippery field and endless flurries of snow to obtain another crushing 35-6 victory over Grove City. Although the Dragons began the game by kicking off to the Eagles, Central's defense shut down the Eagle's offense very quickly. After taking possession, the Dragons pushed up field leading to a one-yard pass to Hunter Smith by...
Northern Bedford's run in the PIAA high school football tournament came to an end on a snow-covered field at Clarion University last Friday. After taking a 14-7 lead into halftime, the Panthers were unable to contain Redbank Valley in the second half and the Bulldogs came from behind to notch a 21-14 victory. Panther Sophomore Adam Johnson led the team on the ground with 33 carries for 115 yards. Sophomore QB Eion Snider went 4-for-8 in the air for 89 yards. Snider also rushed for Northern's...
For years, a contentious debate has raged about what sporting arms should be allowed during the various deer seasons. Bickering between bowhunters and crossbow hunters is particularly acrimonious, but this arguing has also involved rifle hunters. I have a solution to this problem that should make everyone happy. It is simple. Divide autumn deer hunting seasons into three separate seasons: one for vertical bowhunting, one for hunting with crossbows, and one for hunting with rifles. Hunters must...
Central High School Senior Jerry Brumbaugh was recently recognized at the Nov. 8 school board meeting for his accomplishments as a student-athlete.

Brumbaugh finished 57th out of 72 golfers at that state meet. "We are Dragon Proud of him," said Spring Cove School District Athletic Director Stacy...
In 1996, I turned 47 after the end of deer season. Unlike today, I could make rigorous, long-hike hunts in a local state game land to the top of a mountain where Dad had discovered frequently used deer crossing shortly after World War II. He, other family members, one of my friends, and I hunted there for many years. It was rare that at least one of us did not tag a buck. Later, after the PGC embarked on its public-land deer decimation program, it became rare to even see one. Anyhow, 1997 was...

After the Dragons crushing victory against the Panthers last week, Central faced the Bedford Bisons in a nerve-wracking rematch ending in a 20-14 Dragons victory. After the Dragons received the opening kick, they traded offensive drives with the Bisons for many possessions until Jeff Hoenstine completed a five-yard pass to Hunter Smith for the Dragons to take an early lead. The Dragons phenomenal defense held the Bisons to one touchdown in the first half, leaving the score tied 7-7 at halftime....

Bear hunting has changed dramatically during the past few years. No longer is bear hunting restricted to a three-day season toward the end of November. Instead, the Pennsylvania Game Commission (PGC) has "increased opportunities" by setting various bear seasons during the autumn. There have already been statewide archery and muzzleloader seasons, as well as a special firearms season for certain hunters. In addition, during rifle deer season, there will be an extended season, which runs from...

After the Dragons had already faced Penn Cambria a few weeks into their regular season, Central faced the Panthers again this past week in the District Six Championship Game. The Dragons came out with yet another blowout victory, crushing the Panthers 42-7. Shorty after the Dragons kicked off to the Panthers, Central's defense forced Penn Cambria to punt. After the Dragons regained possession, Jeff Hoenstine ran for a 46-yard touchdown to give the Dragons the lead. Parker Gregg scored two touchd...

With archery deer season winding down, many bowhunters and crossbow hunters are still in the woods, hoping to add some venison to their winter larder. With the rut near or at its prime, mature bucks are roaming around during daylight hours and in places that they do not frequent during the rest of the year. With us turkey hunters out of the woods and nearly no one hunting small game, at least in our wildlife management unit, archery hunters should not have other hunters interfering with their...
After the Dragons faced Westmont Hilltop just two weeks prior, Central has once again come out victorious with a 52-13 victory over the Hilltoppers. After the Dragon's initial kick, Westmont could not keep possession for long as the Dragons quickly took over. This led to an 11-yard run by Parker Gregg to put the Dragons into an early lead. Gregg had three more scores in the first half: a four-yard run, a 39-yard reception, and a 30-yard reception. The Dragons also had two other scoring drives...
The Northern Bedford Black Panthers captured the District 5-A title Friday night with a 47-0 win over the Tussey Mountain Titans.

Sophomore QB Eion Snider completed 8-of-12 for 155 yards and a pair of scoring passes, both to Freshman Aaron Bowers. Bowers hauled in a total of 4 catches for 98 yards to lead the receiving squad. Senior...

Fall hunting seasons have begun in Pennsylvania. Which means for hunters and non-hunters alike, if you’re out in the woods, you should be wearing a significant amount of blaze orange to keep yourself safe. The first the hunting public ever heard of the color was in 1960 when Field & Stream magazine ran an article entitled “Hunter Orange – Your Shield for Safety” by the writer Frank Woolner. Subsequently, the practice of wearing blaze orange began in Massachusetts in 1961. Now forty-three out of fifty states in the U.S. require hunters to wear b...
Last fall's turkey hunt did not begin well for me. The evening prior to the season, when scouting with my son, Bob, I took a terrible fall on the wet leaves. I fell forward, crashing onto a pile of rocks. I hurt my right thigh so badly that I feared I had broken it. I hobbled back to Bob's truck and told him what had happened. "You'd better hunt by yourself tomorrow," I said. However, at dawn I managed to limp a short distance into the woods and heard a couple of birds yelping. I also heard...
Northern Bedford racked up 367 yards of offense on Senior night to finish the regular season at 7-3 with a 37-15 victory over visiting Mount Union last Friday night. Senior Brooks Snider caught two TD passes to highlight the Panther offense. The offense was an effective mix of passing and rushing with Eion Snider passing for 129 yards and Adam Johnson rushing for 55 to lead the team in both categories. The defense was equally effective yielding just 132 total yards and not giving up a defensive TD until there were less than 4 minutes left to pl...
The Dragons trounced the Somerset Eagles last Friday with a crushing 61-14 victory. This victory leaves the Dragons undefeated in the regular season and the number one ranked team in the Laurel Highlands conference.

The next play, Jeff Hoenstine completed a 14-yard pass to Hunter Smith 26 seconds into the game for the Dragons first...

Northern Bedford thoroughly dominated the first three quarters of Friday nights “backyard brawl” rivalry, enroute to a 34-7 victory. The Panthers, now 6-3 overall, used a combination of the run and pass to score 5 unanswered touchdowns. Kainen Brown plowed in for NB’s first TD from 6 yards out and Ashton Detterline scored on a 2-yard run after an errant TM punt snap gave the Panthers a short field. Collin Yeatts tacked on both PAT kicks and NB held a 14-0 lead at the end of one quarter. The Snider brothers, Eion and Brooks, combined for a 10-ya...
Along with our friend Scout, my son, Bob, is one of the two best autumn turkey hunters I know. Like Scout, Bob hunts hard, covering lots of ground in his efforts to tag autumn turkeys. Unlike Scout, Bob has one liability as an autumn hunter: He regularly shepherds me on his hunts, and I slow him down considerably. Last fall, however, Bob was not encumbered by my presence on the opening day. The evening prior to the autumn opener, we were scouting; and I slipped on some wet leaves and took a terrible fall onto a rock pile. I could hardly limp...
