Week Six of the high school football season arrives with some key matchups in the Heritage Conference in a pivotal weekend and with four radio games on our Renda Broadcasting radio stations and two on Renda Digital TV.
On WCCS tonight, 3-2 Homer-Center welcomes 3-2 Portage to Memorial Stadium.
Homer Center coach Greg Page says Portage is a handful offensively and defensively.
Portage coach Marty Slanoc has the keys to the game for his team.
The game has a special flavor to it as Portage High School principal Ralph Cecere prepares to exit the district to take over as the superintendent of Homer-Center. Slanoc hopes that at least for now, Cecere’s heart remains with Portage.
The broadcast begins at 6:15 on WCCS and on Renda Digital TV, brought to you by the Graceton-Coral Sportsman’s Club.
On 92.5 FM U92 tonight, the only remaining undefeated team in the Heritage Conference, Penns Manor, meets once-beaten Northern Cambria. The Comets are coming off a 40-0 thrashing of West Shamokin while the Colts narrowly lost to Homer-Center last week.
Penns Manor coach Bill Packer says the Colts are tough to prepare for.
Colts coach Sam Shutty knows his team is in for a fight.
On Cat Country, 106.3 FM tonight, River Valley travels to West Shamokin, with the Panthers looking for their first win against a Wolves team that stumbled last week against Penns Manor.
West Shamokin coach Jon McCullough says his team had better be ready.
River Valley coach Jess Houser says the Wolves’ Lou Swartz and Dylan Wolfe are a great rushing combination.
The other Heritage Conference games tonight are once-beaten Cambria Heights at United Valley, which is coming off its first win of the season; and Purchase Line welcomes Marion Center in a matchup of two one-win backyard rivals.
On WDAD tonight, Indiana looks to break a two-game slide with a visit to winless Kiski Area.
Indians coach Brad Wright says forget the Cavaliers’ record.
Indiana/Kiski is both on WDAD and on Renda Digital TV tonight, brought to you by the Bowser-Minich Funeral Home, starting at 6:30. Indiana Total Therapy pregames for tonight’s Homer-Center/Portage game on WCCS and Penns Manor/Northern Cambria game on U92 start at 6:15. River Valley at West Shamokin airs on Cat Country at 6:30.
