(Beaver County. PA) The discussion was lively on Saturday March 4, 2017 as New Brighton Athletic Director, Joe Ursida, or “Coach U.” as he is affectionately known, offered his thoughts on a wide range of subjects as a special guest on the weekly Saturday Sports Slam talk show.  Ursida discussed the the pros and cons of the W.P.I.A.L. re-alignment to six classifications, the struggle to recruit new referees and umpires for high school sports, and offered his thoughts on the upcoming Pirates season, among other things.

Also joining the show on Saturday was WBVP-WMBA staffer and Penn State Beaver Senior, Zach Ulrich.

The Saturday Sports Slam is hosted by Greg Benedetti and Frank Sparks and can be heard from 8 A.M. to 10 A.M. every Saturday on 1230 WBVP and 1460 WMBA.
