1982 was an amazing year for Monaca High School. That was the year they brought home the PIAA State Basketball Championship. Can you imagine what that must have been like for those students?

Oakmont. That one word in the world of golf is so revered that the United States Golf Association is hosting our national championship, the U.S. Open, for a record ninth time at the fabled club this week.

For the sake of argument, I created my own list of the “Top 5 Greatest Athletes in Beaver County History.” Not basketball, football, tennis or baseball players…athletes. Pure athletes. Let me know what you think of this list and who I may have left off in the comments below.

Daman Strength Training is proud to announce they are launching a brand new program, beginning April 4, that targets athletes ages 11 through 15. DST is calling it their “Sports Preparation Program.” The program consists of two days of strength training and one day of game speed training every week for three months.

Beaver County has a rich tradition of softball. From youth community leagues, to high school and college teams, to adult leagues, people from all walks of life have been coming together on the diamond in our county for years.

No matter what happens over the course of the year, the Pirates are definitely going to be something that many of us spend a good bit of time talking about. It’s obviously a whole lot more fun when they’re playing well, but even in the darkest years we were all still heading up to the ball park a few times each year.

Let’s take a look at what we can expect to see over the second half of the season.

If you took my advice last week and used my line up for your Fan Duel league, chances are you didn’t win any money. I had some good picks, but some unexpected guys (like Detroit QB Matthew Stafford) really went off across the NFL last weekend. However, I did win one league I was in […]

Football is an honest game. It’s true to life. It’s a game about sharing. Football is a team game. So is life.” – Joe Namath As the NFL’s regular season draws closer (because pre-season is only good for pre-evaluating your fantasy draft picks and praying nobody gets hurt) I have been getting a little nostalgic with […]

My favorite time of the year is creeping closer and closer. While I’m enjoying the fact that the sun finally started showing itself and would love the opportunity to catch a few rays by the pool, I can’t help but get excited for that chill to hit the air and football season to start. Fantasy […]
