Poll results: Philipsburg-Osceola multi-sport athlete selected as CDT Athlete of the Week
The readers of CentreDaily.com have selected this week’s boys’ athlete of the week.
Carson Long won the poll for the week of Aug. 28-Sept. 3 for his performance with Philipsburg-Osceola boys’ soccer and football.
Long helped lead the boys’ soccer team to victory over Clearfield and Bald Eagle. He netted two goals against the former and four against the latter. He then added a 30-yard field goal for the football team when it took on Penn Cambria.
He finished with 47% of the poll, with 1,022 votes.

Bloom finished second in the poll with 25% of the vote and 540 votes.
Carson Nagle, Bald Eagle football: Bald Eagle football dominated on its way to a 35-0 victory over Central Cambria. Carson Nagle led the way as the team’s quarterback, racking up 220 yards through the air to go with five passing touchdown. He did that while playing just over one half of football after the team’s backups came in following the first two drives of the third quarter.
Ty Salazer, State College football: State High football came up just short in its comeback attempt against Downingtown East Friday night, but Ty Salazer did everything he could to bring them the whole way back. Salazer had 13 catches for 229 yards and three touchdowns in the game to lead the way for the Little Lions.
