An all-state safety last year as a freshman, Northern Bedford's Aaron Bowers thinks he plays on one of the best pass defenses around. "Our corners and outside linebackers are pretty quick, so we can run man-free a lot. Then I can just read the quarterback and go towards the ball, while our corners and 'backers do a good job covering their guys," Bowers said. It's hard to argue with Bowers. The Black Panthers have picked off nine passes through five games this season and are holding their...

"Hi, Rich, how are you doing?" Uh, oh, I thought. That sounds like Dr. Archie O. Logist. After the fiasco over cave paintings depicting the first fly-fisherman at the abandoned Black Midnight Quarry 30 years ago, Dr. Archie O. Logist lost his research position at the prestigious Ganister Technical Institute and moved away. However, when the institute found that losing his research contributions to its Phenomenology Department were devastating, they lured him back with a sizable contract. However...

This week marks the midpoint of the high school football season in Pennsylvania. A visit to archrival Tussey Mountain on Friday night will serve as a fitting midterm exam for Northern Bedford’s young offensive line, which has been learning on the job. “Tussey’s a very physical team. I feel we have to show our physicality over theirs,” said Black Panther 6-foot-4, 265-pound junior guard Josiah Bowser. “Our line needs to be more physical. “This is a game that will determine where our line is. They have a couple of three year starters and I think...

The defense was led by Junior Noah Baker with six tackles. The victory improves Northern Bedford to a record of...
I whine that August is the toughest trout-fishing month of the traditional season. The water is generally low, clear, and often too warm for good fishing. This August was pretty much standard - until a little after mid-month when nearly four inches of rain fell in the Cove and surrounding area. This rain provided a nice burst of moisture for farm crops. It also provided a short-lived surge of water for area streams. The morning after the last storm passed through found me on a favorite stretch...
Patience is a virtue, but, over the course of a high school football season, one can only be patient for so long. Claysburg-Kimmel High School Junior Reece Replogle understands that. “We want to do things right. We want to take strides in the right direction,” said Replogle, one of two holdovers from the Bulldogs’ starting offensive line after last season. “We’ve got to take it one play at a time, but, in these next couple of weeks, I want to get some wins so we can make a run in the playoffs.” If there’s anyone who can relate to Replogle and...

It's hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that Pennsylvania's squirrel-hunting season opens this Saturday (Sept. 10). From the time I was a young hunter more than 60 years ago until recently, the squirrel opener occurred on a mid-October Saturday at just about the time autumn leaves in the Cove are at their most colorful. Only recently has the squirrel season begun in early September. You would hardly know it. If you are taking a woods walk or are driving along rural roads at this time...
The Central Dragon Football team faced the Richland Rams at home Friday night and, despite a one touchdown lead at halftime, lost with a devastating score of 35-28. Starting the game with a strong offensive push, the Dragons made quick work of their opening touchdown, thanks to a 31-yard reception by Shalen Yingling to put the Dragons on the one-yard line. Jeff Hoenstine finished the drive with a one yard run for a touchdown. Whilst the Dragons held their lead for a majority of the first...
The Claysburg-Kimmel High School football team qualified for the District 6 Class 1A playoffs last season, but, to the Bulldogs, it was more a case of what might have been. Claysburg posted four regular season wins. The Bulldogs, however, weren’t able to string multiple victories together, finishing 4-7 when they fell to Conemaugh Valley in the opening round of postseason action. “I think, last year, a few games we were only one or two plays away,” said Bulldog senior running back-linebacker Cole Claycomb, who’s back after gaining more than 1,0...

After entering the 2022 having not lost a regular season high school football game in two years, Central finds itself this week trying to start again. “I think our entire team is looking to respond in a positive manner,” record-setting Scarlet Dragon all-state quarterback Jeff Hoenstine said. “This is a huge bounce-back week for us.” It certainly will be a gut-check for the Dragons as they head up the mountain on Friday night to face undefeated Penn Cambria, trying to avoid falling under .500 for the first time since 2019. Kickoff at the Pen...
The Central Dragons traveled to Mansion Park to face the Bishop Guilfoyle Marauders in their season opener. A nail-biting game that came down to the final minute left the Dragons with a mere one-point lead to end the game 21-20. After a fumble recovery for the Dragons in a scoreless first quarter, their momentum led to a 10-yard pass from Jeff Hoenstine to Eli Lingenfelter to score with 11:53 remaining until halftime. A failed punt left the Marauders with the ball on the three-yard line, and a...
Few superlatives could overstate what the Central High School football team accomplished last year. Perfect through 14 games until being knocked off in the PIAA Class 3A semifinals by Central Valley in a battle of unbeatens, the Scarlet Dragons scored 40 points or more 12 times en route to winning Laurel Highlands Conference and District 6 championships. Jeff Hoenstine set a Pennsylvania prep record by throwing 57 touchdown passes and was named the class player of the year by the commonwealth’s sports writers — he, running back Parker Gre...

Today (Sept. 1) is the opening day for the traditional autumn hunting seasons. Dove season is probably the longest tenured of the early fall hunts. Though not a popular hunt in our area, sportsmen have targeted doves in various farming regions for many years. Today's dove hunter has a generous daily limit of 15 birds. If I were to hunt doves, it would take me hundreds of shells to down that many birds. In what seems to be an inconsistent Game Commission policy, the commission manages 100 fields...

While the Hollidaysburg team's run in the Little League World Series came to an end with an 8-4 loss to Texas, the Southwest Region Champions capped off an historic year to become the first ever team from Blair County to play in the storied tournament held annually in Williamsport.

The tea...
Ever since he started playing football, Jason Clark has been finding ways to get to the quarterback. “I’ve always been around the football, a guy who always loved running after it,” said Clark, a junior defensive end on the Central High School football team. “My coaches have done a really good job of helping me get my fundamentals down to make sure I’m not going too far.” Clark had a team-leading 10.5 sacks for the Scarlet Dragons in last year’s run to the Laurel Highlands Conference championship and a spot in the PIAA Class 3A semifinals, a...
