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

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.

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

York Catholic routs Newport in 2A semis, District 3 football scores

Michael Staub knew York Catholic had a comeback in the works. As the Fighting Irish trailed 11 points to Newport after one quarter, the junior quarterback didn't worry one bit. The Irish had been down early before, and they knew how to turn a game on a dime. So, when York Catholic needed him most, Staub took Friday night into his own hands and helped the Fighting Irish rally to a 38-14 win over the Buffaloes in the District 3 Class 2A semifinals. "I just wanted to win, man," Staub said. "I play my hardest and just got to get it done every week. We normally get down quick and we start slow, but we always keep fighting. Our coaches see stuff, we start attacking what they're not good at and keep playing. Never stop." Newport never scored again after that first quarter. York Catholic, meanwhile, scored five unanswered rushing touchdowns through the final 36 minutes. Of those touchdowns, Staub scored three. He rushed for 33 yards and passed for another 148. When Newport came knocking in the second half, Staub picked off a pass to set up another scoring drive and knocked down a deep pass on Newport's following

Susquehanna University to cover tuition for eligible students in 10 counties

Selinsgrove, Pa. — Susquehanna University has announced that it will cover tuition for eligible students from Snyder and nine neighboring counties through a new initiative for students entering the university in fall 2027. The Susquehanna Tuition Pledge will serve eligible residents of Centre, Columbia, Dauphin, Juniata, Mifflin, Montour, Northumberland, Perry, Snyder, and Union counties. Students from those 10 counties already make up 20% of Susquehanna’s enrollment, the institution reports. “Susquehanna University was founded to provide an education to meritorious students, regardless of their families’ financial means,” said University President Jonathan Green. “For nearly 170 years, Susquehanna University has been part of this region’s story, preparing generations of students to make a difference in their communities and beyond. The Susquehanna Tuition Pledge reaffirms this commitment.” To qualify, students must be admitted with plans to enroll starting in fall 2027, have a family adjusted gross income of $100,000 or less, live in one of the eligible counties, live on campus, and qualify for both the Pennsylvania State Grant and a Federal Pell Grant. No additional forms or paperwork are required. Students will remain responsible for housing, meals, and other fees. Every admitted student, regardless of where they live, will continue to receive

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
