Western Beaver Rolls Past Beaver Falls 36-8

(Beaver Falls, Pa)

When the Beaver Falls Tigers hosted the Western Beaver Golden Beavers Friday night. Turnovers were the difference in an otherwise tight physical match up.

The first quarter started with stout defense by both teams. After a couple three and outs, it was Western Beavers Wyatt Sparbanie that found pay dirt and scored the games first points on a 69 yard run giving the Golden Beavers an 8-0 lead. That was the score at the end of one. Mirroring the first quarter, the second quarter was physical and low scoring as these two teams continued to fight hard. With the Tigers on the move it was the Golden Beavers Khai Hudson with an interception, taking it 94 yard the other way for the touchdown giving Western Beaver a 15-0 lead at the half.

The third quarter featured more Wyatt Sparbanie scoring on runs of 41 and 8 yards. The Golden Beavers kept Beaver Falls off the board again, sending the game into it’s final frame with Western Beaver on top 36-0. Beaver Falls finally found the end zone in the fourth quarter when Christian Dawkins pulled in a 7 yard touchdown reception. The Tigers converted the two point conversion making it  a 36-8 football game. Unfortunately for Beaver Falls there wasn’t much time left on the clock at that point and the game would end with that being the final score.

The Tigers will continue to search for their first win of the season when they host Mohawk next Friday at 7pm. Meanwhile the Golden Beavers will return home to host Union.

Steelers star linebacker TJ Watt skips the start of mandatory minicamp

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Aaron Rodgers might be ready to take the practice field for the Pittsburgh Steelers. T.J. Watt is not. The star outside linebacker is skipping the start of mandatory minicamp. Watt likely is eyeing a new deal as he enters the final year of his current contract. The seven-time Pro Bowler and 2021 NFL Defensive Player of the Year signed a four-year extension in September 2021 that was scheduled to pay him $112 million and made him the highest-paid defender in the league at the time. Cleveland defensive end Myles Garrett now holds that honor after signing a deal worth $40 million a season in March.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Dan Muse is the new head coach of the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Penguins hired the former New York Rangers assistant and tasked him with helping the franchise navigate a rebuild during the twilight of longtime captain Sidney Crosby’s career. Muse replaces Mike Sullivan. Sullivan and the Penguins split in April after a nearly decade-long tenure that included a pair of Stanley Cup titles. The Rangers scooped up Sullivan, naming him their coach in May. The 42-year-old Muse was hired after a monthlong search by Penguins general manager Kyle Dubas. Muse’s hiring leaves the Boston Bruins as the last of eight teams with offseason head coaching vacancies.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Pirates’ right-handed pitcher Jared Jones has undergone elbow surgery and will not return in 2025. The 23-year-old Jones initially complained of elbow pain in mid-March. The decision to have surgery came after Jones complained of discomfort in the elbow during his rehab. The extent of the damage to the elbow wasn’t initially known. Though the team has not put a firm timetable on a possible return, Jones will be out for at least the remainder of this season. The 23-year-old Jones made the Pirates out of spring training in 2024 and pitched well, going 6-8 with a 4.14 ERA
