Props to Ben Hoffer

Gotta show love for my old high school for a quick minute.

The Yough Cougars bite are 3-6, but just beat rival Southmoreland 52-37. There is a warrant for this mention, though.

RB/WR Ben Hoffer became just the 9th WPIAL football player to rush for over 400 yards in a game (scroll down to the Memorable Game section). He's listed as a WR, but absolutely killed it on the ground. Great job, Southmoreland, D!

The man who created all the hassle - Hoffer (see how I did that? Hasselhoff mentions never get old) finished with 401 yards and 6 touchdowns. He did all his damage on 20 carries.

Crazy thing is...Hoffer had 331 on the ground at the half. Hoffer, you slacked off in the 2nd half. I was looking for a 662 yard game. Don't disappoint next time, kid.

Well done.

Oh, and the photo is from ESPN's video coverage of Yough getting trounced, 53-0, by the Jeannette Jayhawks and national superstud Terrelle Pryor. I had to make it myself, so that you know who Benny is. He's #5...and if you watch the vid, he's about to get demolished by Pryor, who is just waiting out of the right side of the pic.

Lance Jeter Is Better At Basketball Than You

So this is the real reason I opened the PSaMP MySpace page. I needed to signup if I wanted to post videos from MySpace directly to PSaMP. I don't do the whole MySpace thing, but these videos were only available on MySpace. My dilemma, signup or don't post these amazing videos.


This chronicles the greatness that is Lance Jeter. These are old, if you live in and around Pittsburgh. But if not, then you need to see these. Doubt About It first reminded me about this game with their excellent post on the state of basketball in the Steel City. I wasn't at the game first hand, but I did witness the spectacle live on tv. Aliquippa vs. Beaver Falls for the 2005 WPIAL Class AA Title. The game went 3 overtimes. Superstud Lance Jeter buries the tying 3 at the end of the 4th quarter.




Then he wins it in the 3rd overtime...





Its only two years old, but the game is legendary around these parts. We may not ever see the likes of the NBA in Pittsburgh ever again, but I'll take this instead.

With a defender in his face...
