Girls’ golf
Bellefonte’s Cassandra Vogel, State College team win district titles
CRESSON Bellefonte’s Cassandra Vogel won the District 6 Class 3A girls’ golf championship, while State College came away with the team title Tuesday at Summit Country Club.
Philipsburg-Osceola’s Halle Herrington, who competed in Class 2A and shot an 89, also finished as the individual runner-up to Central Cambria’s Jaylee Sikora (85) — and will advance to the PIAA West Regional at Toms Run on Monday.
The Class 3A match for Vogel couldn’t have been any closer. After 18 holes, both she and State College’s Kaylee Richards were tied with a score of 92, but Vogel won on the first playoff hole to win the district crown. She’ll advance to the West Regional, as well.
The Lady Little Lions finished with a team score of 283 — their golfers finished in second through fifth place — to cruise to the team championship. They’ll next compete at the District 6-9-10 Sub-Regional at Treasure Lake (Silver Course) on Thursday.

BEA, Huntingdon tie after 2 OTs
HUNTINGDON Bald Eagle Area may have come away with a 1-1 tie against Huntingdon — but the Eagles coach said he’ll certainly take it.
A motivated Huntingdon was playing on Senior Night, and three first-half BEA attempts hit the post. Luckily for the Eagles, their goalkeeper Hunter Etters kept the pressure on by making two diving corner saves after regulation.
“Hunter had two huge saves,” BEA coach Jason Bair said. “He was completely horizontal and blocked both of them.”
Huntingdon struck first, in the first half, while Bald Eagle Area’s Trent Donley answered in the second half in the 57th minute. BEA is 11-2-1 — and will next face Clearfield on Thursday.
PV slips past Central in OT
MARTINSBURG In the 94th minute, Penns Valley’s Carter Felker scored off a pass from Alex Boeckel to end the game 3-2 in the Rams’ favor.
