About Blairsville/Saltsburg Consolidation. They have been talking about consolidating the remainder of the sports programs, in particular football. As far as actual consolidation of the schools, nothing is being talked about. They tried and failed. There is no way, with two new schools on each end o...

Ghost, Yes you are correct. I was off by a couple of years. Blairsville made the playoffs in 02,03,04,and 05. Lost to BC in 02-04-and 05. I don't know who knocked them out in 03. I think the score in 02 was 18-6 and in 04 it was the overtime game. I can't remember the score in 05 but I believe that ...

The last teams from the Heritage to actually have a chance at the title were the Blairsville teams of 04-05 and 06. All three lost very close games to BC, one in overtime. Two of those game...

I wasn't able to attend but see the North won in an upset. Anyone there have any comments about how the game went. Sometimes it is hard to tell by newspaper accounts.

Jointures and school closings are always very tramatic. Many years ago when Kiski Area was formed, I heard the same type of things then as are being stated by the people of Laurel Valley and Ligonier today. The similar schools were Bell Avon (small) and Vandergrift (the big brother). There was the s...
