A stowaway groundhog is elevated to local icon
HOLLIDAYSBURG, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania groundhog is making a name for himself for something other than predicting an early or late spring.

Why Mike Tomlin leads NFL’s most physical training camp: ‘You can’t box without sparring’
LATROBE, Pa. — No air conditioning in the dorm rooms. Horsehair-stuffed mattresses. Two padded practices per day, seven days a week, full of live hitting.
