2008 SEASON IN REVIEW: The 2007 season was a disappointing one for the Panthers, and Dave Wannstedt was determined to turn things around last season. The well-respected coach did just that, leading his club to a 9-4 overall record. Wannstedt failed to reach a bowl game or finish better than .500 in any of his first three seasons, so the fact that Pitt went to the Sun Bowl last year may have established a precedent.

Patrick Myers didn’t get the title he was looking for at the ASICS/Vaughan Junior National Championships, but he certainly drew attention to himself.Myers lost to Oklahoma’s Ladd Rupp 1-0, 6-0 in the bronze-medal match of the freestyle national championships on Saturday in Fargo, N.D., but he earned All-American honors for the second time in a week. Myers, who will be a senior at Penn Cambria, finished second in the Greco-Roman style earlier in the week.
Patrick Myers didn’t fare as well as he had hoped in Tuesday’s title bout of the ASICS/Vaughan Junior Greco Roman championships, losing to California’s David Klingsheim 7-0, 3-2.But considering that he had surprised even himself with his success up to that point, the Penn Cambria wrestler could live with that.
Shade High School went out of state to find its new football coach.Former Marine Corps Maj. Eugene Boley was hired by the Shade school board in April and recently moved to the area from his last position in northern Georgia.
Neil Cobaugh has spent 12 years as an assistant to Dave Roman Jr., but now the Ferndale graduate will get the opportunity to replace his mentor as the head basketball coach at GreaterJohnstown.
The Ken Lantzy Finest 40 Football Game is one of the state’s oldest all-star games for high school seniors.The organization celebrated its 39th classic on Saturday night at Trojan Stadium with the South winning its fourth straight in a 50-38 victory over the North.
The South made a statement 18 seconds into the 39th Ken Lantzy Finest 40 all-star football game at Johnstown’s Trojan Stadium.Not even a minute later, the Rebels put an exclamation point on that statement with another score.
The South squad’s offense certainly won’t be grounded during Saturday’s Ken Lantzy Finest 40 all-star football game at Trojan Stadium.While South head coach Ken Salem’s squad has the line and backs to establish the running game, this group also has the tools to take to the air.“We’ve been really pleased with Cory Kaltenbaugh and Matt Duray’s progress learning our pro-style package,” Bishop McCort’s Salem said of his two quarterbacks after a Thursday morning practice session at Richland. “We expect to throw the ball more than we run it.”
Central Cambria coach Ken Bussard believes his North squad’s offense has the tools to break the South’s three-year reign in the Ken Lantzy Finest 40 all-star football game on Saturday at Johnstown’s Trojan Stadium.
Westmont Hilltop football coach Matt Glennon is still a relative newcomer to the area, just completing his first year at the helm.The Hilltoppers skipper is getting an opportunity this week to experience the traditions of the Ken Lantzy Finest 40 All-Star Football Classic, which is set for 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Johnstown’s Trojan Stadium.

Miller Field.
Seven was a lucky number for Forest Hills’ Don Bailey.Seven, as in the number of defensive players the veteran Rangers coach constantly sent to pressure elusive Johnstown quarterback John Siciliano in a 20-8 victory during Friday night’s LHAC opener at G.H. Miller Field.
Too many mistakes and too much Ian Sayler doomed North Star on Friday night against Berlin, as the visiting Mountaineers opened the season with a 27-14 win over the Cougars.Sayler rushed for 144 yards – including 108 yards and a touchdown in the first half – to lead the Berlin offense.

The Portage Mustangs pounded out a 55-6 win over visiting Rockwood Friday night behind the statistically stunning performance of senior Mike Sinosky.The Mustangs’ feature back carried the ball just five times in the first half, but racked up four touchdowns, 154 yards and returned a blocked punt 69 yards for a fifth touchdown as the Mustangs cruised to a 55-0 halftime lead.
CRESSON – When Ernie Fetzer said that he was going to emphasize the rushing game this season, he was not exaggerating.Fetzer’s Penn Cambria Panthers amassed 405 yards on the ground, with senior Zak Newton rushing for more than 200 and fellow senior Adam Zaliznock for more than 100 to key a 40-12 win over Westmont Hilltop.
Quarterback Trevor Niemiec rushed for four touchdowns as Somerset rolled over Cambria Heights 53-14 Friday night in the season opener for both teams.
Richland’s passing game has been highly touted, but it was the Rams rushing attack, combined with their passing, that made the difference Friday night at Central Cambria.Sophomore running back John Rizzo rushed for 105 yards on 13 carries and scored three times in Richland’s 34-27 see-saw victory over the Red Devils in the Laurel Highlands opener for both squads.
Seth Zaman ran for two touchdowns and caught two more as the Conemaugh Township Indians blasted the Blacklick Valley Vikings 35-6 Friday night in Davidsville.“We knew they were a good team, we just didn’t know they were that good,” said Vikings head coach Bill Zamboni.
The Ligonier Valley Mounties dominated Purchase Line 47-0 Friday night.The Mounties opened the Heritage Conference season with a huge home win, dominating the visiting Red Dragons on both sides of the ball.“I’m very impressed tonight,’’ said Ligonier Valley coach Roger Beitel.

The Windber Ramblers defeated Chestnut Ridge Lions 21-14 Friday on the strength of their ground game and the single-wing offense at Dr. Giovacchini Stadium.Jarid Cover led the Ramblers’ ground attack with 144 yards on 22 carries.
Trailing Bishop Carroll by three with five minutes to play, Bedford head coach Dan Smith turned to the only weapon his team had found all night: A healthy dose of fullback Paul Detwiler.After receiving a Bishop Carroll punt at the Carroll 46-yard line, the 5-foot-8, 155-pound senior went to work with runs of 4, 13 and 14 yards before scoring from 5 yards out. Senior quarterback Kyle Deneen scampered in for the two-point conversion to give the Bisons a 14-9 victory as Bedford matched its win total from a season ago.
An old rivalry will have a new look today as United visits Laurel Valley at 1 p.m.The teams first played each other in 1954 and after an interruption, the rivalry has been going strong since 1968.But today will be the first time since 1979 that Jerry Page won’t be the head coach on the Laurel Valley sideline. Longtime United coach Chris Matava also stepped down after last season.
Richland will hold a salute to heroes celebration this Friday honoring some of its gridiron stars from the past.
After dropping the first game at Windber on Tuesday night, being the state’s top-ranked team in Class A wasn’t going to help North Star.What did make a difference for the Cougars was the experience that enabled them to attain such a lofty ranking.Having played in the state championship match a year ago, and the experience that came along with it, helped North Star rally for a 3-1 victory over Windber in the season opener for both squads.
Chuck Wyatt played a significant role in Johnstown High School’s 500th football victory 21 years ago.Wyatt, the current Trojans’ wide receivers coach, won’t be strapping on the pads as he did when Johnstown defeated Greensburg Salem 33-7 on Sept. 29, 1988 in Westmoreland County. But he hopes to participate in another milestone win.Johnstown will take its third shot at the program’s 600th victory since 1898 on Friday night when Cambria Heights visits Trojan Stadium for a Laurel Highlands Athletic Conference game. Both teams dropped their season openers, and Johnstown lost to Hollidaysburg in the District 6 Class AAA?final a year ago.
Trevor Niemiec accounted for an area-best 251 yards in one statistical category during the scholastic football season’s opening weekend.But don’t scan the passing yardage numbers to track the Somerset senior quarterback’s production during a 53-14 LHAC victory at Cambria Heights.Niemiec used his feet and his wits to break off one big gain after another while operating out of Somerset’s option offensive attack.

It’s only Week 2 of the high school football season, but emotions should be running high tonight when Windber hosts Conemaugh?Township for a WestPAC?battle.
Prior to the kickoff of Friday’s home opener at Point Stadium, Bishop McCort coach Ken Salem and his players paid their respects to two members of the Crushers family who died earlier this year.Salem knew the emotional tribute to longtime Crushers assistant Dave Seidel and kicking coach Dave Domonkos would be touching and possibly affect his players in a game against Penn Cambria. After all, Crushers stars Josh Seidel and Dane Domonkos are courageously dealing with the loss of their fathers. The rest of the Crushers remembered two friends.“It’s a tough night to come out and have that moment of silence and have all of those things that the kids and the staff have to get over,”?Salem said after McCort defeated Penn Cambria 35-6. “I think we have the potential to be a good football team. Our kids have a great work ethic, and they understand you have to be methodical and precise in between the lines, and that’s what got us through a tough night.”
Through the rain, penalties and slippery footing it all came down to a few key snaps Friday night.Withstanding a two-score, fourth-quarter rally, North Star overcame Shade in the final moments in a 20-12 slugfest.
Seth Zaman rushed for 371 yards and four touchdowns as Conemaugh Township held off Windber 49-41 on Friday night.In a game that featured Zaman’s productive numbers, 260 yards receiving from Windber’s Brandon Ulasky, and 112 yards rushing from Windber’s Jarid Cover, it was less than a foot that helped the Conemaugh Township Indians go 2-0 on the young season.
Kody Oliver rolled up 203 yards and two touchdowns as United improved to 1-1 with a 26-12 win over visiting Ligonier Valley on Friday.Zack Waddell added two interception returns for touchdowns for United.Oliver had a pair of first-half scores as the Lions opened up a 20-0 lead by intermission.“We played hard,” the junior said afterward.
Portage coach Gary Gouse couldn’t have asked for a better start to the season while things couldn’t have gone much worse for Blacklick Valley coach Bill?Zamboni’s squad in the opening week.
The Penns Manor Comets defeated the Rams of Laurel Valley 29-6 on a cold and wet night.The first half was scoreless until a high snap on a punt attempt that Laurel Valley’s punter Joe Reed could not handle went into the end zone which resulted in a safety.
Another milestone chapter in the history of Johnstown High School football was written Friday night as the Trojans captured the program’s 600th win with a convincing 53-0 victory over visiting Cambria Heights.“This was a win we’d like to dedicate to all the past Trojans,” Johnstown coach Kevin Marabito said. “This is a tribute to everyone who ever played or coached here.”
Bishop Guilfoyle and Somerset had a tough time holding onto the ball in their Laurel Highlands game on Friday night.The two squads combined for a dozen turnovers as the Marauders held on for a 9-6 victory over the Golden Eagles.
Two games into the season, the Northern Cambria Colts are still trying to find out who they are.The Colts saw two possible answers during a 33-14 loss to Homer Center Friday night.
Ian Edwards scored four touchdowns to lead Meyersdale to a 42-6 win Friday over Conemaugh Valley
Chestnut Ridge quarterback Brad Hengst is only a sophomore.But he looked poised beyond his years in his second career start Friday night, leading the Lions’ option offense to 334 yards rushing and a 33-7 win over Berlin.
Sometimes teams need a wake-up call.Forest Hills coach Don Bailey hopes his squad received such a message Friday night when the Bishop Carroll Huskies gave the Rangers everything they could handle for four quarters.
When a team scores five touchdowns, it is tempting to focus on the offensive production.In the case of Richland’s 35-0 Friday night triumph over visiting Bedford however, a closer look at the Rams’ defense tells the real story.
For The Portage Mustangs, Saturday’s 48-0 win over Blacklick Valley was an embarrassment of riches.
Central Cambria had a slow start Saturday afternoon in its Laurel Highlands contest against Westmont Hilltop.The Ebensburg squad (1-1) scored all of its points in the second half to come away from Price Field with a 10-6 victory over the Hilltoppers.
Rockwood took advantage of a few big plays to beat Ferndale 14-0 on Saturday for its first win of the season.
The names may have changed, but the goal is the same for the Richland boys soccer team:?To be the best in the Laurel Highlands Athletic Conference.
Point Stadium hosted an intense girls soccer rivalry Wednesday night, as unbeaten Bishop McCort went head-to-head with Westmont Hilltop for the first time this season.
Sam Zambanini isn’t surprised when Seth Zaman puts up eye-popping numbers.But 371 rushing yards and four touchdowns in a game against the program’s biggest rival?That’s something special.
