Just some highlights as we hit the mid-season mark of the 2018 season. There has been some really good QB play led by a couple juniors from BEA & PV. Tyrone seems to have bounced back after a down year last year. Meanwhile Huntingdon & Central, after being part of a 3 way tie for the league title last year, are finding wins hard to come by in the early going.

Dragons, Your weekly threads on the Mountain League......we couldn't ask for better coverage and analysis from the local papers. Any chance your expertise extends to the Laurel Highlands? Asking too much?

Really appreciate the feedback. I write about the Mountain League because that is what I am most familiar with and won't lie I put a good bit of my free time into it just because I enjoy doing it. Once we hit playoff time I'll include some other teams/conferences as I do follow them all. Thanks again and if you know any local papers looking for coverage ;)
