'It's a long time coming': An inside look into the most decorated amateur boxing gym in all of Pennsylvania
LANCASTER, Pa. — A Central Pennsylvania boxing gym is putting Lancaster on top of the national boxing stage, all through passion, a sense of family and a drive to be great. Lancaster City Boxing Academy is tucked away on a downtown side street, and with only a sign denoting its presence, it can be easily missed if you're not paying attention.
PIAA proposal to force 2-time state champions into higher class lacks support from WPIAL board
Jul. 15—The WPIAL doesn't favor a potential PIAA rule that forces two-time defending state champions into a higher classification. The proposed change to the competitive-balance rule was discussed and disliked by the WPIAL board Monday because it could unjustly punish successful programs that didn't use transfers to reload, said WPIAL president Brian Geyer. The proposal is one of several ...

USC’s Lincoln Riley discusses 2024 football schedule on Big Ten Network
USC Trojans football head coach Lincoln Riley sat down with Rick Pizzo of Big Ten Network. He discussed Caleb Williams and the 2024 USC football schedule. At Trojans Wire, we think the Penn State home game on Oct. 12 might be the pivot point of the 2024 college football season for USC, which will not have a whole lot of margin for error in the rugged Big Ten Conference: If USC beats LSU and gets to mid-October with only one loss, this game might determine whether the Trojans make the playoff. Penn State at home is not an easy game, but it is also a game USC should probably win. The Trojans’ defense should be much improved in 2024, and that’s what gives us confidence to pick USC over Penn State. The Nittany Lions simply haven’t developed their offense enough to merit the benefit of the doubt here. If this game was in Happy Valley, we would probably give PSU the edge, but not in Los Angeles.

Beaver Stadium Construction Updates: What Student Gate A and the Super Ribbon South End Scoreboard Look Like
Penn State athletic director Pat Kraft, we have learned, doesn’t mess around. And neither do the construction crews and cranes operators that were working on Saturday to feverishly finish some early key elements of the multi-year, multi-hundred million dollar renovation of Beaver Stadium. Time is of the essence. While downtown State College and the central Penn State campus may have been the region’s epicenter on Saturday, just a bit more than a mile to the north crews were at work trying to complete essential punch list items for a renewed Beaver Stadium. The 2024 season is looming. James Franklin’s Nittany Lions were...
Parkland’s Dawkins ready to handle bigger role with slimmer build on Penn State football’s O-line
Nick Dawkins will have a critical role for the Penn State football team this fall. And he’ll be shouldering those responsibilities with a thinner build. Dawkins, a Parkland High School graduate, is on track to be the Nittany Lions’ starting center when they kick off the season Aug. 31 at West Virginia. To prepare for those duties in the system of new offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki, the offensive lineman lost 15 pounds.

Penn State 2026 prospect Elijah Satchell discusses MVP performance at Big Man Challenge, potential fit with program
Football is a game of size. So, when checking prospects at Penn State's summer camps, it's normal to start with whichever players literally stand out from the crowd. That's doubly true when evaluating offensive and defensive linemen, such as the ones at Penn State's final Big Man camp on June 21 last month. Our story today starts with a four-star offensive lineman in 2026, Tyler Merrill. At 6-5 319 pounds, even if he wasn't already near the top of Penn State's offensive lineman board, he would be the moment he stepped onto campus the first time. We spent the better part of that camp following Merrill to see how he was progressing in his high school development. But something interesting happened once the camp concluded with one-on-one pass-rushing drills. He began to struggle against a smaller, more unassuming defensive end. Here's where we first meet New Jersey pass rusher Elijah Satchell.
