- Have confirmed with three sources, including District 10 wrestling director Steve Hoover and District 10 wrestling historian Dan Albaugh, that Northwestern’s Sierra Chiesa is the first female gold medalist in the history of the district’s tournaments.
- 20 feet, 2 1/2 inches. Repeat, 20 feet, 2 1/2 inches.
- Northwestern’s Sierra Chiesa, your 107-pound gold medalist of District 10’s Class 2A BOYS tournament.
- Please offer your sincere thanks to District 10 wrestling historian Dan Albaugh for his research that confirmed Northwestern’s Sierra Chiesa as the first female gold medalist in the history of the district’s tournaments.
00:00 - #ErieLive Varsity girls silver medalist Madeline Curtis of Harbor Creek hugs boyfriend Cameron Hitchcock, home on a surprise weekend furlough from the U.S. Navy. Hitchcock graduated from Harbor Creek earlier this year.
- Congrats to Big Red, who goes by Tom Reisenweber in his byline, for being voted winner of the Division II sports feature category for the 2020 Keystone Media Awards.
- Being subjective. Being serious. Would sincerely use those same descriptions had Juniata won. Best athletic event I’ve professionally covered over 30-plus years in this business.
00:00 - Maggie Konieczki with an all-time moment in Harbor Creek sports history.
00:00 - Jamison Cook, a 2019 Fairview graduate, recorded a hole in one during his round at Beechwood Golf Club on Wednesday. The former Tiger aced the course's 175-yard second hole with a 5-iron.
- Good news. Carter Starocci recorded a first period technical fall in his final home match. Potentially apocalyptic news. He appeared to injure his right knee at the end of this clip. The Cathedral Prep graduate was helped off the mat. Scheduled to interview him. Wait and see now.
00:00 - Kobe Bryant’s last game as a high school basketball player was for Lower Merion, which beat Cathedral Prep 48-43 in the 1996 PIAA Class 4A boys basketball final at Hershey.
- Can subjectively say the greatest football game I’ve professionally covered in 30-plus years in this business.
