Northern Bedford Northern Bedford’s volleyball team opened the season with a 3-1 home loss to McConnellsburg Sept. 3. The young and inexperienced Lady Panthers did show some mettle, battling the Lady Spartans all night long and coming from behind to win the third game. After the Visiting Lady Spartans rolled to a relatively easy 25-16 win in game one, NB pushed them to the limit before succumbing by a 25-21 count in the second game. Down for the early portion of game three, the Lady Panthers battled from behind to take a 25-22 win. “Our you...
The communities in the Northern Bedford and Tussey Mountain school districts are buzzing with excitement in preparation for Friday night's "Backyard Brawl." Tussey Mountain and Northern Bedford – the top two teams in District 5 Class 2A, respectively – will clash at 7 p.m. at Dick L. Hess Memorial Field in Saxton. Northern Bedford enters the game with a 2-1 record. After dropping the season opener to Central, 49-21, the Black Panthers have reeled off victories against Southern Huntingdon, 41-20,...
A week after scoring just six points in a 42-point loss to Tussey Mountain, Claysburg-Kimmel showed its fans what it is capable of Friday night, Aug. 30, at Williamsburg. The Bulldogs racked up 596 yards of total offense, including 289 through the air – as they cruised to a 43-14 victory over the Blue Pirates at Veterans Memorial Field. C-K evened its record at 1-1, while Williamsburg slipped to 0-2. "Going into the week with Williamsburg, we had some concerns with how the team might handle boun...
Northern Bedford coach Garry Black has a lot of weapons in his arsenal with this season’s Black Panther football squad. That arsenal, which included a lot of speed and electrifying plays, was on full display last Thursday night, Aug. 29, at Panther Community Stadium. NB moved to 1-1 on the season with an easier-than-expected 41-20 blasting of visiting Southern Huntingdon. The Panthers took the opening kickoff to the 12 yard line before a penalty marched them backward. Facing a fourth-and-10 play, junior quarterback Thad Leidy buzzed a pass t...
Dr. Frank Bastian, formerly of the Louisiana State University (LSU), has promoted a theory since about 2003 that Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is caused by spiroplasma bacteria. Nearly every other researcher has determined that CWD is caused by misfolded prions, which are protein materials. According to Dr. James Kroll and others, Bastian's theory has been discredited because no other researcher has been able to replicate Bastian's findings. Because of his controversial theory, Bastian lost his...
The Central Lady Dragon tennis team opened the 2019 season with two scheduled non-league matches and one in the Mountain Conference. The Lady Dragons were defeated by Altoona, victorious over Tyrone and had their match with Hollidaysburg stopped due to poor weather conditions. Altoona 7, CHS 0 Central opened its season at Mansion Park in Altoona Aug. 19 against one of the stronger area teams and fell by a 7-0 score. Although each of their top five girls battled gamely, none was able to win more than two of their games. In doubles action, Lindse...
When you first don’t succeed, try again. The Central football team found itself in that scenario Friday night, Aug. 30, at Tyrone’s Gray-Vets Memorial Field. On third down in the wanning seconds of the game and with his team trailing 7-6, Central senior quarterback Braden Kitt appeared to have scored on a 2-yard run. After officials got together and ruled that Kitt had not scored, the senior followed teammates on the very next play into the end zone with two seconds remaining, lifting the Dragons to a 12-7 victory in a Mountain League bat...
The Central Dragon golf team got off to a great start with a solid victory over homestanding Everett Aug. 19. The Dragons won by a 358-371 score. Mason Baker was the medalist of the day as he finished with a score of 79. Jonah Snowberger followed with a 90, while Jerry Brumbaugh (94) and Tyler Helsel (95) rounded out the team’s scores. “Mason was steady as always,” Central coach Robbie Keith said. “The younger players really stepped up their games and gave us a nice first win. The weather was extremely hot but typical August weather...
Thirty-eight junior hunters drawn by lottery soon will experience the thrill of seeing a wild pheasant rooster pounding skyward while having the special opportunity to harvest it. The Pennsylvania Game Commission today announced the application process for the third annual Central Susquehanna Wild Pheasant Recovery Area (WPRA) youth hunt. Last year’s hunt, held over two Saturday mornings, saw close to 200 birds flush ahead of the lucky young hunters, and this year should be just as fantastic. A total of 38 permits will be issued to licensed j...
It was a great season opener for the Central Scarlet Dragon football team last Friday, Aug. 23, as it hosted neighboring Northern Bedford at the Roaring Spring Athletic Field. Central jumped out to a commanding 35-0 first-half advantage and coasted to a 49-21 victory. The Dragons took advantage of numerous early mistakes by Northern Bedford (three fumbles) and led 21-0 after just one quarter. NBC fumbled the opening kickoff and Central drove 30 yards for a quick score. Freshman Jeff Hoenstine...
Turnovers played a key role in Williamsburg’s season opener in high school football Aug. 23. Playing their first game under new head coach Ryan Hileman, Blue Pirates turned the ball over five times while dropping a 26-14 decision to visiting Glendale. “We played tough,” Hileman said afterward. “It’s hard to win a game with five turnovers, especially when three of them are inside your opponent’s 30-yard line.” The Blue Pirates got off to a strong start in front of their home crowd at Veterans Memorial Field. Jahmarea Wansley returned the...
The high school football season opener against Tussey Mountain Aug. 23 did not go as planned for Claysburg-Kimmel, but the Bulldog coaching staff discussed character following their 48-6 defeat. “Reflecting on last week’s game, we really learned a lot about the character in our program,” C-K coach Matthew Bilchak said. “While the score didn’t reflect it, I liked the way our kids battled throughout the game. I never saw a moment where guys were giving up or blaming each other.” C-K found itself down 34-0 before scoring in the third quarter. Co...
Early mornings during the spring are noisy. Both resident and migratory songbirds are singing to claim territories and to attract mates. This is not always melodious singing: There is much dissonance among the various singers. Among the least harmonious of the springtime songs are those of crows and wild turkey gobblers. Anyhow, with hundreds of types of birds singing each morning, there is a lot of noise in the springtime woods; and some of this noise lasts all day. As spring eases into...

When mourning dove season opens Sept. 2, hunters can experience some fast-unfolding action at managed dove fields across the state. Last year, the Pennsylvania Game Commission changed regulations to allow manipulating crops to attract doves to hunting spots, and the first few managed dove fields were established on state game lands as a result. This year, Game Commission habitat crews have worked hard to provide nearly 400 acres of managed dove fields on 26 game lands throughout the Commonwealth. You can learn the locations of these fields by...
Week 2 of the high school football season features an Inter-County Conference matchup between two Cove-area schools each looking for their first win. Williamsburg will play host to Claysburg-Kimmel at 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 30, at Veterans Memorial Field. Each team suffered a season-opening defeat Aug. 23, with the Blue Pirates falling 26-14 to visiting Glendale and the Bulldogs losing at home 48-6 against Tussey Mountain. C-K is coached by Matthew Bilchak, now in his second year. Williamsburg is l...
Football is like life – it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority. – Vince Lombardi, Second-winningest NFL coach Thirty-four Williamsburg football players hear this advice from their new coach, Ryan Hileman, at every practice. Hileman is in his first year of coaching Varsity Blue Pirate Football. He previously coached the junior high team last year. When the varsity position opened up after the resignation of long-time head coach Bob Hea...
When I was a lot younger, I was a moderately enthusiastic night fisherman. I liked to arrive at a familiar section of stream at the edge of dark; and when the first star appeared, I made my first cast. For me, this was fishing with larger-than-average wet flies. My favorite was a size 8 Governor, a fly I had discovered in the late James Bashline's book "Night Fishing for Trout." Bashline and his friends caught loads of big trout using this fly and other large wet flies. Locally, "Pike"...
Brandon Dick-Giordano of Roaring Spring participated in the White Marlin Open (fishing tournament in Ocean City, Md.) earlier this month. Dick-Giordano caught a 70-pound white marlin (side photo) that was good for second place on Monday, Aug. 5. The catch was worth $1.4 million but was unfortunately bumped to fifth place for the rest of the tournament (due to heavier fish that were brought in to the scales). Dick-Giordano and his crew (top photo) were aboard the boat "Reel Chaos," which...
White-nose syndrome has killed 99 percent of most cave-bat species. Chronic wasting disease continues to spread to new parts of Pennsylvania, infecting and killing deer and threatening hunting tradition. West Nile virus has left Pennsylvania’s state bird, the ruffed grouse, with an uncertain future. At no time in history has disease posed more problems for wildlife and its conservation. And that’s why a new partnership between the Pennsylvania Game Commission and the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Veterinary Medicine (Penn Vet) has f...

Back in mid-July, I listened to Dr. James Kroll's presentation about Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). It was a scholarly presentation, and more than 100 sportsmen showed up to hear it. However, there was room in the Hollidaysburg Middle School Auditorium for several hundred more. I was surprised that with the serious CWD situation in central Pennsylvania more sportsmen did not show up. Sportsmen for the Future out of Roaring Spring sponsored the seminar and had invited members of the Pennsylvania...

I do not spend a lot of time on the internet; but when I am online, I visit a couple of fly-fishing sites. One of these is paflyfish.com, where there is a forum that includes various sub-forums. On one sub-forum, visitors can post about nearly any topic. Two recent threads on this Off the Subject (of fly-fishing) sub-forum have involved rattlesnakes. Those posting their thoughts about rattlesnakes on both threads nearly all espoused the attitude that rattlesnakes are your friends. These...
Some hunters who bought their 2019-20 hunting licenses online have been slow to receive them, which in some cases might have impacted their submitting applications for antlerless deer licenses. The Pennsylvania Game Commission encourages hunters experiencing such problems to contact the agency for help. “We appreciate and care about every single one of our license buyers, and it’s unfortunate that some of those who bought licenses online have experienced problems this year,” Game Commission Executive Director Bryan Burhans said. “We’v...
