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.

Cathedral Prep's girls cross country team wins 4th PIAA team title in five years

(This story was updated to add new information.) No PIAA Class 2A girls cross country team has dominated this decade more than Cathedral Prep. The Ramblers solidified that status with a familiar result at a new course. Prep, coached by Therese Brown, finished first in the 2A standings for that Nov. 7 state final at Newville’s Big Spring High School. The Ramblers, with 92 points, beat District 6 Central Cambria by seven for their fourth state title since 2022. The year they didn’t win it all over that span, they still received the PIAA’s 2023 runner-up trophy. Prep’s latest title was unique in that it didn’t have a top 25 individual state medalist. “Don’t think I’ve ever seen that happen in all my years of coaching,” Brown said. “The only way to do something like that is to be super tight (as a pack) and be as far up as you can.” “But what that also tells you is that we didn’t have a superstar. We had a team of girls who raced for each other.” Sophie Becker and Audrey Schiedel were two of those Ramblers. They returned in 27 th and 28 th place with identical times of 19

Garfield football vs Conneaut High School, live score updates

GARRETTSVILLE — The best ground games seamlessly pair great running backs with a stout line. After Ryder Cain tied a program single-game record with six touchdowns in Garfield's 48-14 regional quarterfinal win over Conneaut, the current connection in Garrettsville is hard to argue. "Ryder, he's always been the first guy every time thanking his line after every touchdown on the sidelines," G-Men senior lineman Gavin Barnard said. "He is my best friend. I mean we spend every weekend together. We're always out hunting, fishing together. I know that dude like my own brother and I just know how hard he worked and he deserves every bit of it." Sure enough, Cain — when asked about his 23 carries for 248 yards and six touchdowns — quickly brought up his linemen. "It feels great, but I got to give all the credit to the line," Cain said. "They do it all." Watch Ohio High School Football Live on NFHS Network all year Garfield (11-0) never trailed after scoring on its first two drives. Cain spun out of contact on third-and-one for a five-yard touchdown run to cap the first drive. After Spartans quarterback Wyant Dobran tossed a 53-yard deep ball to
