HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Republican U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania will not seek re-election in 2022, according to a person with direct knowledge of Toomey’s plans. Toomey will make the announcement Monday, the person said. Also, Toomey, a second-term Republican in a battleground state, will not run for governor in 2022, when the seat becomes open, said the person, who did not want to be named divulging information from private conversations before Toomey announces it publicly. Toomey’s office scheduled an announcement for 10 a.m. in Bethlehem, near Toomey’s home in suburban Allentown. Toomey’s Senate office spokesperson declined comment when asked whether Toomey will announce that he’s not running again.

Beaver Falls takes the Jug from New Brighton 44-15

The Lions and the Tigers met tonight at Reeves field for a battle of the little Brown Jug.  The Lions came out looking strong early on, scoring an early touchdown on their first drive. The Tigers quickly responded and scored a touchdown of their own once they had the ball back. Although, their field goal attempt was blocked, leaving the lead to New Brighton, with an early score of 7-6 NB.  New Brighton then gave Beaver Falls an interception, changing the momentum of the game.  During the rest of the first half, the Tigers continued to score on the Lions, finishing out the first half with a score of 30-7.  After halftime, New Brighton seemed to come out a bit stronger than they looked in the first half, and held the Tigers from scoring for a little while, but the Tigers ultimately took control again and increased their lead.  New Brighton managed one more score in the game, and got a two point conversion to go along with it.  At the end of the game, the score was 44-15, in favor of Beaver Falls meaning the jug got to go back to the Tigers.

Confrontation on Banksville Road Ends with Driver Shot in the Face

Confrontation on Pittsburgh highway ends with driver shot
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Authorities say a confrontation involving drivers on a western Pennsylvania highway ended with a man being shot in the face. The shooting occurred around 12:15 p.m. Friday on Banksville Road in Pittsburgh. Authorities say a man driving a pickup truck tried running a car off the road, then crashed into the vehicle and shot the driver. A woman in the car also apparently suffered a graze wound, though her injury wasn’t considered serious. The pickup truck driver drove off after the shooting. The shooting was initially reported as a road rage incident, but authorities say it remains under investigation. Police say the three people involved apparently all knew each other.

Unbeaten Steelers try to take unexpected bye in stride

Unbeaten Steelers try to take unexpected bye in stride
By WILL GRAVES AP Sports Writer
PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers say they’re not going to let their unexpected week off derail their focus. Pittsburgh’s scheduled game against Tennessee was postponed due to a COVID-19 outbreak among the Titans. The delay means the Steelers will have to end the regular season with 13 straight games, a prospect head coach Mike Tomlin says doesn’t bother him one bit. Pittsburgh is off to its best start in a decade behind the steady play of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. The 38-year-old Roethlisberger has thrown seven touchdowns against one interception through three games. Pittsburgh hosts Philadelphia in Week 5.
