Friday preview: Somerset basking in football success
A few more signs saying “You’ve entered Golden Eagles Territory” align the streets of Somerset these days. There are a couple more people wearing Somerset football T-shirts at the grocery store.
Funny what a couple of decisive victories can do for a program and a community seeking to move past a couple decades of mostly losing seasons. -

Cambria Heights, Westmont looking for better performances
Two teams looking to rebound after Week 1 losses will meet this afternoon at Price Field.
Westmont Hilltop dropped a one-sided contest to Forest Hills last week in Sidman, putting a blemish on the opening of Pat Barron’s tenure as the Hilltoppers’ coach.
Cambria Heights lost in a high-scoring affair to visiting Richland in what had been tabbed as a potential signature game for a much-improved program coming off a 5-5 season. -
Senior shines as Portage stuns North Star in wild game

When Tanner Revak looks back on his senior season of high school baseball, he’ll likely remember how close North Star was to making it to the state championship game.
His Cougars knocked off a highly regarded Saegertown team in the first round of the PIAA playoffs, then did the same to District 7 champion Ellwood City in the quarterfinals. And they went toe to toe with defending state champion Riverside in Monday afternoon’s Class AA semifinal at Shaler Area High School. -
North Star's focus on today's semifinal
Baseball is THE topic from Boswell to Stoystown to Jennerstown and anywhere remotely close to North Star High School.

North Star earns berth in state semifinals
Shane Supanick hadn’t pitched for more than two weeks.
The sophomore left-hander eagerly awaited his turn on the mound as North Star rolled through the District 5 playoffs and the first round of the PIAA Tournament with ace Brantley Rice on the hill. -
Cougars, Crushers look to extend season
North Star’s Shane Supanick and Bishop McCort’s Justin Vardian are sophomores who each pitch with the poise of a seasoned veteran.
That’s why neither Cougars coach Chris Evans nor Crushers coach Chris Pfeil will have any concerns about putting an underclassman hurler on the mound in today’s Elite Eight round of the PIAA Baseball Tournament. -
North Star moves on in Class AA
