MIKE MASTOVICH | A look at the region's football leaders

JOHNSTOWN — Windber’s Colin Bryan leads The Tribune-Democrat's coverage area with 1,367 rushing yards on 132 carries. His 24 touchdowns and 154 points also are area bests.

Two offensive categories saw changes at the top.

Bishop McCort receiver Christian Leech has 20 receptions for 492 yards, five more than North Star’s Tony Strasiser, who was the area’s receiving leader much of the season.

Conemaugh Township quarterback Grant Speigle moved atop the passing charts with 1,096 yards, only 3 more than North Star’s Max Strasiser, who had led throughout the season.

Forest Hills’ Scott George has an area-best 28 kicking points, one more than Bishop McCort’s Jordan Spangler and two better than Richland’s Bobby Colvin.

    This year, Junior won’t be on the Point Stadium field for the pregame hoopla associated with opening night of the 69th annual AAABA Tournament.

    The Pitt-Johnstown baseball team has faced plenty of adversity this season. So, why should the fact that the Mountain Cats must finish on an extraordinary run to keep their postseason hopes intact create any additional pressure?

    Shanksville senior Kayla Stockenus’ surpassing the 2,000-point mark in Tuesday’s loss to Windber brought a rare milestone back into the area’s spotlight.
    While 1,000-point scorers have become fairly common in both boys and girls basketball, 2,000 is a much more rare feat.

  • MIKE MASTOVICH | Players benefit from solid foundation

    Dalvin Williams and Gap Barbin are two of the area’s most dominating players this football season, but the foundation of their respective success might be traced to last season.
    That’s when Williams, Johnstown’s big-play senior linebacker, learned valuable lessons while playing on a unit led by Tribune-Democrat Defensive Player of the Year Alkwan Williams.
    “I just watched them in practice and learned from them and how they reacted to plays and how fast they could read them,” said Dalvin Williams, the area’s leading tackler with 91 stops through six weeks. “I picked it up from there.”
