PIAA State 1A Quarter-Final Preview – Redbank Valley vs. Cambridge Springs
November 22, 2023 | Phil Myers
This game will be a contrast in offensive styles. Redbank Valley likes to throw the rock to some talented receivers, but they keep you off balance and honest with a decent running game.

There is not much that has surprised many in District 9 as far as who the top teams are. The head of the class right now appears to be Central Clarion with their 5-0 record. The Wildcats are PFN’s #7 ranked AA team. They average 60 points a game and are pretty dangerous on defense […]
District 9 Review – Week 4
September 26, 2023 | Phil Myers
The game of the week: There were not very many close games that could even be considered the game of the week.

November 12, 2022 | Phil Myers
Not many outside of Brockway thought the Rovers could defeat the defending Class A state runners-up in the playoffs.
