2026 40 Under 40 Honoree: Alexander Sundermann (35)

Assistant Professor of Epidemiology, University of Pittsburgh, School of Public Health. Before Alexander Sundermann was tracking hospital outbreaks through DNA, he was meeting patients in the back of an ambulance. He became a volunteer EMT as a high school senior, an experience that exposed him early to people whom health systems had failed. “I still carry so many of those patient stories with me today,” he says. “Behind every single data point I look at now is a person with a family and a life that matters.”

Through the years: Max Garda stars on emotional night for Burrell 10 years ago

Each week throughout the high school football season, TribLive will take a look at the players, coaches and events that shaped our scholastic legacy. It was an emotional night at Burrell on Oct. 28, 2016 as the Bucs awarded the game ball to Shane Cornuet in what would have been his brother Noah’s senior night.

Hopewell-Aliquippa High School football meet in The Times' Game of the Week

There are a multitude of great rivalries that surround Beaver Valley High School football programs each season, from the Battle for the Little Brown Jug to Blackhawk and Beaver Falls.
