JERSEY SHORE—As players and coaches posed for postgame pictures they did not avoid the mud which felt more like quicksand. Some kneeled right into it and others laid in it. This is Jersey Shore and the Bulldogs have never been afraid to get dirty. And they never run from a challenge. So ...
South Williamsport coach Chris Vanaskie knew that the Mounties had a really good chance of converting their penalty kick in overtime. As Hayden Swinehart walked over to take it, Vanaskie knew that he would be able to put it on frame. And it happened just like Vanaskie expected. Swinehart fired a shot to the right post, sneaking it inside, to give South Williamsport an exciting 2-1 win in the rain on Saturday afternoon at Balls Mills. The win advances South Williamsport to the District 4 Class AA semifinals at a time and site to be determined. "It means a lot. I think we didn't ...
ALMEDIA--Weston Pick and Coltin Hans play other sports and lead busy lives. But they really never experience a football offseason. Their seasons might end, but the work continues. All the time Pick and Hans put in while few are watching sure has made them stand out when the bleachers are filled. And that effort has helped them leave indelible marks on program history. Montgomery played an outstanding team game Saturday afternoon, thumping CMVT 41-14 at Wen Cerra Memorial Field. Pick and Hans played huge roles while making history. Pick made 22 tackles, breaking the Montgomery ...
Opposing players know that South Williamsport has plenty of playmakers who can score seemingly at will. Piper Minier. McKaye Wilton. Payden Matthieson. Olivia Casella. The list goes on.

Minier, Wilton, Matthieson and Casella all had a hand in South Williamsport's offense as the Mounties cruised to a 7-1 win against Northeast Bradford in a District 4 Class A quarterfinal matchup. With the win, South Williamsport (17-1) advances to to the District 4 Class A semifinals ...
The Lock Haven football was unable to capitalize off five defensive takeaways in a 35-13 loss to divisional foe West Chester at home on Saturday. The Bald Eagles held a 13-7 lead midway through the second quarter but allowed 28 unanswered points as they dropped an eighth consecutive game. After allowing West Chester to advance the ball inside the redzone on the first drive of the game, Lock Haven (1-8, 0-6 PSAC East) forced a fumble at its own 15-yard line. Junior linebacker Shane Scott pried the ball loose from Golden Rams (6-3, 4-2 PSAC East) quarterback Shane Dooley, and it was ...
The game plan for Montoursville entering Saturday's District 4 Class AA quarterfinal at Selinsgrove was simple for coach Vic Gorini. He wanted the Warriors to come out strong, keep possession and hit the net a few times. Check all those boxes off as completed. Montoursville possessed nearly the entire game, scored within the first 10 minutes of the game and put up a six-goal performance in a 6-0 rout over Shamokin at Selinsgrove's Harold L. Bolig Memorial Stadium. Not a bad executed game plan. "It's just something we stress all year. Possession-style soccer, that's what wins," ...
