Athlete of the Week: B-A offensive line
This week’s BluePrint Athlete of the Week is the entire Bellwood-Antis offensive line. When watching a football game it is easy to get caught up in who’s scoring the touchdowns and who is making the big plays; however, none of that would be possible without a good offensive line. This is the reason why the B-A offensive line is the Athlete of the Week.

Northern Cambria claims a spot at the top of the Heritage Conference with an impressive victory over United Valley! (Gallery Included)
Tagged under: District 6, Game Photos, Gameday Hub, News, pfn. Northern Cambria Colts (1-0) at United Valley Lions (1-0) The last time these two teams meet was the opener last year in which United Valley won by six points. At the time Ty Dumm was a Northern Cambria wide receiver. He had both of the Colts touchdowns and nine total touches. It was the only regular season loss for the Colts. As both teams went 9-1 and the Lions won the Conference based on their head to head record. Last month I openly stated on my page that Ty Dumm was the best player in the conference. Tonight he was the best player on the field as the Colts pulled away with a strong second half to win 27-0. Dumm moved to quarterback last year after the starter Ethan Donitalli was injured and put up big numbers. (600 passing yards, 900 rushing yards, 300 receiving and five interceptions) I was at last years Coal Bowl where he ran 75 yards on the games first play and had three picks. Tonight two rushing touchdowns, a passing touchdown and a return touchdown that was called back.
