It was a tough night for the Eisenhower soccer teams Monday night as the boys lost at home to nonregion North Clarion 7-0, while the girls took the long bus ride to Girard and lost 3-0 in Region 3 play.

North Clarion added three second-half goals to make the final 7-0. In girls action, the Knights held Girard scoreless until the 10-minute mark of the first half before Girard’s ...

Steelhead Alley

Autumn in Erie brings one of North America's most celebrated freshwater migrations: lake-run rainbow trout arriving in the shale-bedded tributaries that make up “Steelhead Alley.” Anglers from across the commonwealth, and even the region, are awaiting the signal that fish are in to begin their own migration, hoping to land one of Pennsylvania’s most sought-after fish species. But what is the outlook for 2026? Will it be worth hours in the car and the inevitable crowd that awaits streamside? The single biggest factor shaping the fall steelhead run is rain. While other anglers may ...

Selecting rain gear for fall steelhead

Fall steelhead fishing is not a fair-weather pursuit. As fall fronts push inland, temperatures drop and tributaries swell with rain from cold, grey skies, the fish start running upstream — and you need to be there too. Standing thigh-deep in water just this side of freezing while also being pelted by drizzle that freezes on your eyelets is about more than grit; it is about having the correct outer layer, something designed to keep the rain out and the warmth in while still allowing you to breathe. Pick the correct wading rain jacket and your day could last for hours; pick the wrong ...

Steelers place DT Harmon on injured reserve

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers placed second-year defensive tackle Derrick Harmon on injured reserve Monday. The club made the move four days after Harmon injured his foot in the first half of a 27-24 loss to Cleveland. Harmon will miss a minimum of four weeks, a significant blow to a defense that's given up several big plays in the run game through the season's opening month. Harmon, a first-round pick in 2025, had been coming into his own early this season. His strip-sack in the final minutes against Cincinnati on Sept. 27 helped Pittsburgh hold on to beat the ...
