Week four of the high school football season arrives with two teams still undefeated in the Heritage Conference, and with Indiana High looking for a third straight win in the WPIAL. Four radio games will air on our Renda Broadcasting stations and two will be on Renda Digital TV tonight.
On WCCS, 2-1 Homer Center will host 2-1 West Shamokin, with the Wildcats coming off their first loss of the season and the Wolves coming off their second win.
Homer Center coach Greg Page says his team will have its hands full with West Shamokin quarterback Lou Swartz.
West Shamokin coach Jon McCullough expects Homer Center to rebound from their loss to Penns Manor.
McCullough outlines the keys for his team against the Wildcats.
The game airs on WCCS and on Renda Digital TV, presented by the Graceton-Coral Sportsman’s Club, at 6:15. On Cat Country, 106.3 FM tonight, undefeated Penns Manor tackles a River Valley team looking for its first win of the season.
Comets coach Bill Packer knows the Panthers’ offense is good, but he says the defense is a big concern, too.
River Valley coach Jess Houser says Penns Manor’s Max Hill is a true leader on both sides of the line of scrimmage.
On 92.5 FM U92, hard-charging Cambria Heights tries for its third straight win against winless Marion Center.
The Stingers’ coach, Adam Rising, says the Highlanders will do what they always do…pound the ball between the tackles.
Highlanders coach Jarrod Lewis anticipates a struggle as his team plays its third road game out of the last four.
The other Heritage Conference games tonight are 2-1 Portage at 1-2 Purchase Line and undefeated Northern Cambria taking on winless United Valley in the only game of the season that will be played at Blacklick Valley.
2-1 Indiana hits the road to play Mars tonight on WDAD and Renda Digital TV, presented by the Bowser Minich Funeral Home. Both teams played tight games last week. Indiana is coming off a 23-22 win over Shadyside Academy while Mars was edged by Blackhawk, 15-14.
Indiana coach Brad Wright says Mars will be up-tempo.
