Rob Matzie Returns To The Booth As High School Football Returns For Week 2

(Matt Drzik/Beaver County Radio)

While several teams are still looking to find their identity and start their momentum, Beaver County Radio will welcome back a man whose momentum to a seat in Harrisburg started by calling the games on the gridiron.

State Representative Rob Matzie returns to the airwaves tonight as he and Mike Azadian will have coverage of Neshannock’s visit to Ambridge on 95.7 FM, 1460 WMBA, and the Trib Live High School Sports Network. The Bridgers are 1-1 following their Week 1 16-14 victory over Freedom, while the Lancers sit at 2-0 following last week’s 41-34 triumph over Laurel. Pre-game coverage from Moe Rubenstein Stadium begins at 6:30 with kickoff set for 7:00 PM.

Bob Barrickman and John Perrotto have the call from Oak Hill Field as New Brighton hosts Rochester on 99.3 FM, 1230 WBVP, Trib Live and Facebook Live. Both units are looking for their first win of the season, as the Lions (0-2) are coming off of a 41-0 loss at the feet of Hopewell, and the Rams (0-1) opened their season falling to Our Lady of Sacred Heart 16-8. The pregame–featuring ceremonies from the WPA Gold Star organization–begins at 6:30 on air and on Facebook, and kickoff begins at 7:00 PM.
