Beware of Gators: Smethport’s turnaround season comes to an end with 50-point loss to Port Allegany

PORT ALLEGANY, PA – After four years, the Smethport football team had finally returned to the playoffs. Their hard work over the past few seasons had finally paid off. Last year, with new head coach Ryan Yingling taking the reins, the culture changed and the foundation was built. This year, the fruits of their labor arrived. Wins. Double-digit All-Star Selections. A Region 4 title. An almost perfect season in the form of an 8-1 record and a trip to the Class A postseason. However, their draw for the quarterfinals pinned them against the only team they’d lost to: Port Allegany.

Proposed 2027 State College Budget Includes Real Estate Tax Increase

State College Borough is poised to raise its property tax for a third consecutive year. The borough's proposed 2027 budget includes a three-mill tax increase, a 12% hike that would bring State College's total millage to 27.88 mills. The tax increase, which is one mill more than that implemented for 2026, is part of a $72.2 million fiscal plan presented on Friday afternoon as Borough Council began its weeks-long budget review. For a home with a present-day market value of $300,000 and no homestead exclusion, the increase would equal $147.54 for the year, while with the exclusion it would be $72.54. For a property with a $500,000 market without the homestead exclusion it would mean an additional $245.90, or $170.90 with the homestead exclusion. The increase would generate $1,821,063 in new recurring revenue for a borough budget that remains structurally unbalanced for the seventh consecutive year. The total proposed budget includes $72,249,482 in expenditures — which is only $12,742 more than the approved 2026 budget — with revenue of $62,357,539, about $1.8 million more than 2026. It uses $9,891,943 of fund balances, as is typical. Within the overall budget, the general fund budget, which more directly represents current expenses and

State College Area school board hears plan to drop ‘Little’ from Lions

State College, Pa. — A State College Area School District committee asked the school board Monday, Nov. 2, for its “blessing” to drop “Little” from the district’s Little Lions name, adopt the motto “Honor the Pride,” and hold a design contest for a new logo. The board took no vote as the presentation was an information item. Jonathan Bucher, assistant superintendent of secondary education, presented the committee’s plan, which would keep the district’s maroon and gray colors and its eight elementary school mascots. A student and community artwork contest would produce finalists that the committee would bring to the board “for final approval,” according to the presentation. No contest timeline was given. The current logo was created in 1985 by a student, and the district has no comprehensive guide to its approved markings, fonts and colors, the committee said. A survey drew about 600 responses, and students told the committee they do not like being called little, according to the presentation. “Honor the Pride” would possibly replace the motto “We Are the Future,” and a new lion design must avoid “visual confusion with the Nittany Lion,” the committee said. Members debated an African lion versus a mountain lion. The committee

McDowell sets team records, then walks off Altoona in PIAA playoff game

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.
