Sewickley Academy rolls to PIAA girls soccer first round win over Conemaugh Township

OHIO TWP. — Following its first WPIAL championship in over 20 years, Sewickley Academy didn’t experience any championship hangover, with the team cruising to a 3-0 victory in the opening round of the PIAA Class 1A girls soccer championship on Tuesday, Nov. 10. “I’ve been around long enough to experience that championship hangover and it was something we talked about for a little bit, but the group responded very well and has a lot of experience,” Sewickley Academy head coach Gary Weber said. “The older players set a great tone for the younger ones, so it makes it a lot easier to coach.” Sewickley Academy (20-0) wasted little time to jump on Conemaugh Township, with forward Emma Eannarino taking the match into her own hands, putting up a hat trick in the first half to give the team a comfortable lead. The senior’s first goal came less than a minute into the contest, with Eannarino firing a shot off a Conemaugh Township (14-4) defender and into the back of the net. Eannarino’s second tally came just over 20 minutes after her first, sending a strong shot past the Conemaugh Township keeper to double Sewickley Academy’s lead. LIVE UPDATES: PIAA high

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?
