STEUBENVILLE — The St. Francis Red Raiders will bring their high-octane offensive attack to town Friday, meeting Big Red for the first time. The opening kick is set for 7 p.m. inside Harding Stadium. St. Francis, based in Hamburg, N.Y., launched its season by whipping Erie, Pa., 50-22. The ...
RICHMOND — Last season, Edison left Clarke Hinkle Field with a 25-24 victory after a late goal-line stand broke the hearts of Toronto. As it turned out, a win in that game would have likely put the Red Knights in the playoffs. Nobody has to tell Toronto that, though. Josh Franke and ...

His 2-0 Blue Dons go on the road for the second time this year, with a visit to Strasburg-Franklin and a 7 p.m. kickoff.
