Neshannok wins over Freedom 54 – 20

Neshannok traveled to Freedom tonight for a game between the Lancers and the Bulldogs.  The Lancers got points on the board early with two touchdowns early in the game. On their next drive however, the bulldogs began to fight back, managing to secure an interception.  Neshannok managed to stick Freedom to 4th down, but as the Lancers were expecting a punt, the Bulldogs pulled off a fake punt and got themselves a first down.  Freedom scored on the next play setting the score to 13 – 7 in favor of the Lancers. Unfortunately for the Bulldogs, Neshannok came back with another score to put their lead at 20 – 7 at halftime.  Freedom started the 4th quarter strong with a 73 yard touchdown pass to tighten the score to a single possession game.  Unfortunately for the Bulldogs, Neshannok was not willing to give up their fight.  The Lancers managed to spend the rest of the game putting more points on the board.  The game ended with a score of 54 – 20, in favor of Neshannok.

Point Park’s varsity esports program to kick off first season in newly renovated space with state-of-the-art equipment

Point Park’s varsity esports program to kick off first season
in newly renovated space with state-of-the-art equipment

PITTSBURGH, PA – Point Park University’s varsity esports program will make its debut at the end of September in a newly renovated space using state-of-the-art equipment.

Chris Gaul, Esports Director and Head Coach, will have an 18-person team competing in the National Association of Collegiate Esports Rocket League Fall Season, as well as League of Legends, in a 1,450-square-foot-space in the University’s Student Center. The room is equipped with 16 gaming stations and three large-screen televisions mounted on the wall to highlight the action at any of the terminals. To comply with COVID-related precautions, alternate gaming stations will be used to prevent athletes from sitting next to one another, and each station will be cleaned and disinfected after use.

The University’s Physical Plant remodeled the space — which used to be a yoga/pilates studio – and worked with Point Park’s Media Services and IT departments, as well as outside vendors Extron and RPC Video. A new high-speed data network was installed and configured, and multimedia lines were supplied.

“We have been given an exceptional facility to service our esports program,” Gaul said. “The installation was seamless, and the system assists in coaching and recruiting while positioning our athletes to succeed right out of the gate.”

In the first phase of the project, the University’s Media Services department worked with RPC Video – the AV contractor – and Extron to design and price out a system. The end result allows video from any of the 16 systems to appear on the wall-mounted televisions; an Extron touch panel was integrated, which allows Gaul to easily route audio and video to any display in the room. An Extron SMP 111 streaming and recording device was integrated to allow matches to be streamed live on platforms such as Twitch and YouTube.

Steve Obenreder from RPC Video began discussions with Fred Angiolieri, Senior Director of Media Services at Point Park, in fall 2019. Once they worked out a plan for the space, they began to look at manufacturers for the equipment.

“The manufacturer that took the most active interest was Extron. They offered advice on how their product would fit into our plan,” Obenreder said.

In fact, Extron worked out a deal with Point Park to use its XTP signal routing approach, which would offer the University the kind of system performance Extron felt was necessary for a seamless competitive gaming experience.

Angiolieri and his Media Services team did some of the general installation work before handing off the rest of the installation to RPC Video. Extron provided a system design engineer onsite who worked along with RPC Video to commission the AV system, ensuring it was fully optimized.

“Preparing our varsity esports program for competition this fall was a monumental task, and we could not have done without Chris Gaul leading the program,” said John Ashaolu, Point Park’s Director of Athletics. “But getting the program to this point also was made possible by the extraordinary work by dedicated professionals at Point Park, and through RPC Video and Extron. This was a team effort on a grand scale.”

The varsity esports program kicks off competition in the NACE Rocket League at 8 p.m. Sept. 29 against Penn College Rocket League. The team’s League of Legends season starts Oct. 19.

Gov. Wolf Issues Statement on Trump Rallies in PA

Gov. Wolf Issues Statement on Trump Rallies in PA

Harrisburg, Pa. – Today, Governor Tom Wolf urged President Donald Trump to help solve problems for Pennsylvanians instead of exacerbating public health risks in the commonwealth. He called on the president to abide by COVID-19 mitigation guidance when visiting the commonwealth and forgo holding unsafe rallies in Pennsylvania.

The governor made the following statement:

“Three weeks ago, the Trump campaign held a rally here in Pennsylvania that violated the commonwealth’s public health guidance by disregarding gathering limits, mask orders and social distancing guidelines. My administration did not make an exception for that rally, and is still awaiting a response to a letter sent to the Trump campaign on September 10, 2020, asking them to abide by the commonwealth’s COVID-19 mitigation measures in order to keep our residents safe. Again this past Tuesday, the president held a large rally in close quarters here in Pennsylvania. Once again, I am requesting that the President of the United States not endanger Pennsylvanians by holding unsafe rallies that will put Pennsylvania communities at risk.

“It is gravely concerning that the president would insist on holding this event with blatant disregard for social distancing and masking requirements. His decision to bring thousands of people together in a tight space in the midst of a global pandemic caused by an airborne virus is flat out wrong. No matter what party you support, all Americans should be very concerned that the president has put headlines and publicity above the health and safety of our families and communities. Any Pennsylvanian who chooses to attend a rally, or any large gathering, should take protective steps like wearing a mask and maintaining proper social distancing for the duration of the event. Mitigation efforts like these will help protect Pennsylvanians from potentially contracting this deadly virus and bringing it home to their families.

“It is dangerous and disappointing that the president continues to ignore science and his own health advisors while putting the lives of those who support him at risk. The president has admitted to lying about the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, and in the meantime, our country has lost more than 200,000 lives on his watch. While we continue to see only tepid and contradictory attempts at leadership from the White House, families have lost loved ones, the economy has taken a massive hit and communities are crying out for help.

“Instead of spending his time on rallies, the president should return to Washington and deal with things that matter to Pennsylvanians, like unemployment assistance, state and local aid, hazard pay and a cohesive strategy for pulling the country out of this pandemic as quickly as possible.

“To hold this event is not just misguided, it is dangerous, it is manipulative and it is wrong. I would ask Pennsylvanians to think of the health and safety of their families and their communities before attending this event or any rally put on by the Trump campaign. And I would ask the president, for once, to put the health of his constituents ahead of his own political fortunes.”

Dodgers’ Betts unseats Yankees’ Judge for MLB’s top jersey

Dodgers’ Betts unseats Yankees’ Judge for MLB’s top jersey
NEW YORK (AP) — Dodgers star Mookie Betts has supplanted Yankees slugger Aaron Judge for baseball’s top-selling jersey in his first year on the West Coast. Judge’s pinstriped No. 99 had been the most popular uniform in the majors for three straight years. But according to data released by Major League Baseball on Friday he’s been bumped by his former AL East rival. The Boston Red Sox traded Betts to the Dodgers in February, and Los Angeles signed the 2018 AL MVP to a $365 million, 12-year deal that runs through the 2032 season. Betts’ No. 50 is the first Dodgers uniform to top the list since MLB began releasing sales rankings in 2010.

Aliquippa Man Stopped with Loaded Gun at Pittsburgh International Airport Security Checkpoint

(MOON TOWNSHIP, Pa.) An Aliquippa man was stopped going through a TSA Security Checkpoint this week at Pittsburgh International Airport after TSA Agents spotted a loaded 9mm handgun on a checkpoint X-ray machine’s monitor. Officers immediately alerted Allegheny County Police. The weapon was loaded with five bullets and one of the bullets was in the chamber of the gun ready to be fired.

After Allegheny County Police questioned the man the gun was confiscated, and he now faces federal civil penalties. This was the 14th gun that has been found at a security checkpoint in the airport this year.
