(Beaver Falls, PA) Geneva College’s head college basketball coach Jeff Santarsiero has recently decided that he will retire after the 2025-2026 college basketball season. Santarsiero has the most wins in Geneva College basketball history at 403 going into his 30th season, and he has been the head basketball coach of the Golden Tornadoes since 1996. Santarsiero also served as a Geneva College college basketball assistant coach starting in 1988 until he became their head college basketball coach in 1996. Among his accomplishments there are helping Geneva College win the Presidents Athletic Conference title in 2024. In 2013, Santarsiero was inducted into the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) Hall of Fame. Santarsiero is also a member of the Nyack College Athletic Hall of Fame. Nyack College is also the alma mater of Santarsiero, who started his coaching career coaching there as the head coach for the Nyack College women’s college basketball team before starting his two coaching positions at Geneva College. Geneva College will go through a national search for their next head college basketball coach after the 2025-2026 college basketball season ends.

(Beaver Falls, PA) Washington and Jefferson University defeated Geneva College 49-7 on Saturday afternoon in Beaver Falls to spoil the final home game for Geneva College head football coach Geno DeMarco. DeMarco is the longest tenured college football coach at any level who is currently in his 33rd season and will step down after this season. Geneva had a lackluster offense in this game with -21 rushing yards and only 288 passing yards compared to Washington and Jefferson’s 104 rushing yards and 399 passing yards. Geneva drops to a record of 5-4 overall and 5-2 in their PAC conference record this season, while Washington and Jefferson clinched the Presidents Athletic Conference (PAC) title with the victory with a 7-2 record overall and a perfect PAC conference record this season at 7-0. Geneva’s college football team will finish their season on the road and will take on Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio on Saturday, November 15th, 2025 at 1 p.m.

(Pittsburgh, PA) After causing a crash in the South Side Flats area of Pittsburgh on May 31st, 2025, former NFL player Terrelle Pryor is now being sued. Three people that were injured in that crash, which occurred on East Carson Street, filed two lawsuits against Pryor, alleging he was speeding when he ran a red light and crashed his Tesla Cybertruck into another car that was trying to turn into the GetGo at the intersection of 33rd Street. Pryor was uninjured, but according to court paperwork, Pryor “violently struck” the Nissan Rogue, flipping it and pinning it against the traffic light post. The lawsuits note that the three people in that car inside the Nissan were hurt, but Pryor did not get injured. No charges have been filed against the former standout football player who played for Jeanette High School, Ohio State University and nine different NFL teams.

(AP) Former NFL star Antonio Brown has been arrested on an attempted murder charge stemming from a shooting after a celebrity boxing event in Miami, police confirmed Thursday.

Brown, 37, was taken into custody by U.S. Marshals in Dubai, said Miami police spokesman Mike Vega. He was flown to Essex County, New Jersey, where he is being held pending extradition to Miami, Vega said.

It was unclear why Brown was taken to New Jersey first or how long he had been in Dubai, although he has posted several times on social media over the past few months from there.

According to an arrest warrant detailing the May 16 shooting, Brown is accused of grabbing a handgun from a security staffer after the boxing match and firing two shots at a man he had gotten into a fistfight with earlier. The victim, Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, told investigators one of the bullets grazed his neck.

It was unclear from court documents whether Brown has an attorney. It also was not immediately known when Brown might be returned to Miami.

A second-degree attempted murder charge carries a maximum 15-year prison sentence and up to a $10,000 fine in the event of a conviction.

Brown, who spent 12 years in the NFL, was an All-Pro wide receiver who last played in 2021 for Tampa Bay but spent most of his career with Pittsburgh. For his career, Brown had 928 receptions for more than 12,000 yards and 83 touchdowns.

Brown has dealt with several legal problems over the years. He previously had been accused of battery of a moving truck driver, several domestic violence charges, failure to pay child support and other incidents. During a 2021 game with Tampa Bay against the New York Jets, Brown took off his jersey, shoulder pads and gloves and ran off the field, leading to his release by the Buccaneers and effectively ending his football career.
