The Wacky Adventures of Joshua and Chad: Juniata College Football!

 What a way to start the weekend then with a little college football! This past Friday I got to go on a rare trip to Juniata College and got to cover some football for my friend/mentor Kenny Varner and Hometown Sports.

It is not too often I even go to Huntingdon let alone, Juniata College. But the few times that I have been there, it has always been a joy. I guess in a way it is probably because of the simple fact that I never went to college myself. So going to Juniata College is kind of a unique experience for me.

Juniata College is a small private liberal arts college in Huntingdon, Pa. It was created back in the late 1800s.

And the campus itself is very beautiful, if I didn't have to cover any sporting event, I would have loved to just walk around it. It probably be the closest I will ever get to being a college student lol.

But back to football! This was the third time that I got to cover the football team for Hometown Sports and each time has been a incredible experience. I have covered two day games so getting to cover my first college football night game was pretty fun.

Believe it or not I actually got to see a pair of familiar faces when I arrived at Chuck Knox Stadium. Which was named after a great coach who went to school there and later became a head coach in the NFL! Pretty amazing if you ask me!

Those familiar faces were Benjamin Grant who is the Assistant Athletic Director of Athletic Communications and leader of the folks working at the Press Box and Jeremy Uhrich who runs the music that is played at the games. Both amazing guys by the way!

I also got to meet Pat Coleman who helps run a college football website called D3football.com. Pretty cool dude and give his site a look see because this man puts in a lot of work.

As for the game itself, things did not the Eagles' way but nonetheless I really had fun being there at Juniata College. And I really hope that I can get back again someday. 

I just want to say thank you to both Ben and Jeremy as well the rest of the people of Juniata College. Everytime that I have gone there, it has always been a great experience and I hope to see again sometime in the future. I also encourage others to stop and enjoy some college sports there as well.

Until next time!

God Bless and Be Safe Everybody! 🙏🙏🙏

Lewistown Area High School Class of 2009

 I can't believe it has been 15 years since me and Chad have graduated from Lewistown Area High School back in 2009. High school was a very interesting time for not just myself, but for many of us who had attended, mainly because usually times at high school is the time of getting to know ones self and discover who they are and what there place is in this world. Being a teenage to becoming a young adult can be very challenging to a lot of people during this time in life. Especially with dealing with all sorts of different emotions that we didn't understand before. Sadly, there are also a lot of young people who struggled to figure things out during their time in high school and I was certainly one of those people.  I mention this because recently I found and looked back through my yearbook when I graduated from Lewistown and it was pretty cool to see some old faces especially now that I am older and learned so much about myself. The only problem about this is I wish I knew what

The Wacky Adventures Of Joshua and Chad: McVeytown Eagles Championship Parade!

Image
Well tonight was a pretty special night down here in McVeytown as Chad and I along with many other people who live here in McVeytown all came together to celebrate a special accomplishment. And that was how all three of the McVeytown Eagles teams made it to the CKYFL championship games. Winning in both the Peewee and Midget divisions and placing second in the Mighty Mights. Stuff like this doesn't happen often in such a small town where I live so to see these kids have the time of their lives during the parade was certainly a sight to see. One of the things I love about covering sports is when I see kids learn, work hard and turn it into success. And these kids were learning a lot throughout the season and watching them grow and not only become better football players, but better people as well.  Which is why I have really enjoyed covering the CKYFL these last few years for Hometown Sports. People like Travis McCullough who is the President of the league along with Adam Weaver, Rob

What's going on? Being honest with ourselves!

 I don't like to cause any problems with anybody but there have been a lot of things that I been wanting to get off my chest for a very long time now. And that is in my humble opinion people don't seem to want to be honest about really anything anymore. Now, I could be just a little paranoid, maybe my anxiety is getting the best of me or whatever. But as time has past I have been getting a weird feeling all over me. You see, I just feel as though people no one is really being honest with each other, themselves or to God anymore. I wish I could describe it better but it has been a concern of mine for quite a long time now and I feel like it is getting worse. People would always say things to me like, Josh it is just a different time. But honestly, I think that is just a lame excuse. And the reason I say that is because a lot of those same people who say that kind of stuff to me are the exact same people who then say that they don't understand how things around us are getting
