Week Two of the high school football season brings four games on our Renda Media network, three of them also on Renda Digital TV.
On WCCS and Renda Digital TV, Homer-Center comes off their double-overtime win over Northern Cambria with a short road trip to United Valley, which lost to Cambria Heights in their first game.
Homer-Center coach Greg Page says he expects United Valley to be much better this week, and he hopes his Wildcats are, too.
Page feels for United Valley star running back “Shady” Oleksa, who underwent surgery for a broken arm this week.
United Valley coach Lou McElwee says his defense needs to keep a close eye on the Wildcats’ Carson Arone.
McElwee says the Lions have to be better on the line of scrimmage.
On Cat Country 106.3 FM and Renda Digital TV, it’s a battle between two of the top preseason picks in the Heritage Conference, with River Valley hosting Cambria Heights. Both are coming off big wins last week.
River Valley coach Ed Dalton says the Panthers will have to focus on stopping the Highlanders’ versatile Nolan Clawson.
Dalton says the Panthers well recall last year’s 35-7 loss to Heights.
Highlanders coach Jarrod Lewis knows it’s a big test for both teams.
Lewis says River Valley is deserving of their big expectations.
On 92.5 FM U92, Northern Cambria gets a chance to work out their frustration over last week’s loss at Homer-Center, well aware that they let one get away, but focused on a Purchase Line team that put up a good fight in their loss to Conemaugh Township.
Coach Sam Shutty says his coach will use their disappointment from last week’s loss as motivation.
PL coach Matt Falisec says the Colts have a lot of offensive firepower.
The other Heritage Conference games include 1-0 Marion Center at 1-0 Portage, 0-1 Penns Manor at 0-1 Conemaugh Valley, and 0-1 West Shamokin at 1-0 Conemaugh Township.
On WDAD and Renda Digital TV, 0-1 Indiana tackles 0-1 Greensburg Salem.
Coach Mark Zilinskas says they have worked hard to correct last week’s mistakes.
All of the Renda Media action begins tonight with the pregame shows at 6:30, except for the United Valley/Homer-Center game, which will air beginning at 6 with special coverage of the United Valley Hall of Fame ceremony.
