When Chase Carrick took the handoff, he saw the gap. Seconds later, he was running toward his bench to celebrate with his teammates. Carrick scored on a 10-yard run in double overtime as McDowell outlasted Altoona 47-41 in a PIAA Class 6A subregional football game on Friday, Nov. 6, at James Conner Field. “I just wanted to get some yards after they didn’t score,” said Carrick. “When I saw the gap opened up I knew I was gone. I wasn’t going to mess it up.” McDowell (8-3) moves on to another PIAA subregional next week at State College after the Little Lions beat Erie High 55-0.

York High falls to Harrisburg in District 3 Class 6A first round

As Harrisburg players cleared the field and Cougar fans descended the bleachers to join them in celebration, York High coach Bud Kyle gathered his players near the center of Severance Field for a final huddle. For the Bearcats, their season ended the same way it began — a loss to the Cougars, this time a 42-6 final dealt in the first round of the District 3 Class 6A bracket. The Bearcats had been shut down all afternoon by the Cougars' defense, and their hopes for payback for their Week 1 loss were dashed. But the Bearcats had worked and scraped to earn a spot in the playoffs as the No. 12 seed, and Kyle wanted to give his seniors a final moment to speak to their teammates candidly. "For those guys to even get into the playoffs with us getting hired and starting late, and them buying into what we were telling them to do, we couldn't have asked for a better group of seniors," Kyle said. "A lot of changes happened during the year, however we're proud of them for sticking it out and fighting through it." Week 11 SCAC Scores: York Catholic routs Newport in 2A semis, District

PA high schools do not need a phone ban

Pennsylvania’s statewide phone ban is claimed to help reduce student distraction and help students improve their grades. Many adults believe phones interfere with learning, but phones don’t solve the full issue. Lawmakers are focusing on the wrong problem or purposefully blaming phones as an easy way out so it looks like they’re doing something. All they are doing is putting band-aids on bullet holes. It might cover the issues, but it doesn’t repair the damage left underneath.

Exclusive: Shanksville school secretary receives state award

Gail Edwards, elementary secretary at Shanksville-Stonycreek Elementary School, is one of two school employees recognized by the Pennsylvania Department of Education with the 2027 Pennsylvania Recognizing Inspiring School Employees (RISE) Award for exceptional contributions to school and community. BillieJo Pecht, alternative education paraprofessional at Penns Valley Jr./Sr. High School in the Penns Valley Area School District, is the second honoree for 2027. Edwards said she didn’t know she was nominated. "It was a surprise," Edwards said. "Over the summer I got an email that said I was selected to move on in the process." Edwards was interviewed by PDE staff, and the school submitted five staff letters of support along with three letters from parents. Edwards said the letters from students’ families were especially meaningful. What is the RISE Award? The RISE Award was established by Congress in 2019 and is administered by the U.S. Department of Education. It honors a school employee who provides exemplary service to students in pre-kindergarten through high school. The RISE award is the equivalent of the PA Teacher of the Year award for nonteaching school employees. More: Looking for a place to get a delicious meal this Thanksgiving?
