The high school football season has arrived and Renda Media has four games on the air tonight.
On WCCS and Renda Digital TV, Homer-Center travels to Northern Cambria. Wildcats coach Greg Page expects a good Colts team, with all of the Northern Cambria atmosphere and first-week issues to deal with.
Ty Dumm has graduated, but Page says Northern Cambria is still dangerous with Danny Farrell taking over at quarterback.
Despite Homer-Center’s back-to-back 2-8 seasons, Colts coach Sam Shutty says they’re not taking them lightly.
Shutty expects both teams will be ready to go.
On 92.5 FM U92, two-time defending Heritage Conference champion Cambria Heights visits United Valley.
Highlanders coach Jarred Lewis says his team has the same high expectations as always.
Lions coach Lou McElwee says last year’s early exit from the playoffs doesn’t sit well with his players.
On Cat Country 106.3 FM and Renda Digital TV, new coaches will be on the sidelines for both River Valley and Penns Manor.
Ed Dalton returns to the Heritage Conference to take over a Panthers program that has lofty goals. He’s counting on quarterback Max Persichetti to lead a talented team.
Carson Rhea replaces the retired Bill Packer at Penns Manor, and while the Comets want to establish the run game on offense, he says the defense will lead his team.
The other Heritage Conference games tonight are Marion Center at Conemaugh Valley, Purchase Line visiting Conemaugh Township, and West Shamokin at Portage.
On WDAD and Renda Digital TV tonight, Mark Zilinskas returns to lead Indiana as they open at Freeport.
Zilinskas previously coached the Indians from 2002 to 2015. He says he has a solid group of players helping to rebuild the historic program.
The action gets underway with the Indiana Total Therapy pregame at 6:15 on WCCS, and at 6:30 on U92, Cat Country, and WDAD. We wrap up the first weekend of the season with the Luther Ford Coaches Corner on WDAD Saturday from 8 to 10 AM.
