This is...interesting.

Pine-Richland fakes a punt on 4th and 4 from the 50 for a 20-yard gain to keep the drive going following a third straight three-and-outs by Penn Hills. Rams lead 14-0 and are driving, 2nd and 1 at the Indians 21. Post-Gazette Sports Mike White #WPIAL

Final Pine-Richland Football 31, PENN HILLS INDIANS FOOTBALL 21

⁦Pine-Richland Football⁩ ⁦Lawrence “Jay” Timmons⁩ reminded me he scored a TD (my bad) to go along with a big INT and a huge run in the Rams 31-21 victory against Penn Hills. ⁦Post-Gazette Sports⁩

Right now all of our collective thoughts and prayers go out to Rochester’s Carter Mason, who was taken away by medical helicopter to a hospital during tonight’s game. He had left the field of play and then required medical attention shortly afterward.

This is about as throwback as it gets...and I mean that in the best possible way! Here at Western Beaver for an old-school Saturday morning matinee ON GRASS with visiting Ellwood City. Follow for updates!! ⁦Post-Gazette Sports⁩ ⁦Mike White⁩

Not a lot of room to work here at Western Beaver with a packed house to see the Golden Beavers showdown with Ellwood City. Only score of the game, a 1-yard sneak from Wolverines QB Chris Smiley. 7-0 EC at the half. Post-Gazette Sports Mike White #WPIAL
