WPIAL AAAA Football Championship

This was by far the best game of the four championships this day. Central was in full control of the game when Gateway put on a furious comeback forcing the game into overtime. The difference was a botched extra point attempt by the Gators which gave the Vikings the AAAA championship when they scored a TD and made their own XPA.

National Adoption Day

George Austin and his wife, already the parents and grandparents of 17, found enough love in their hearts to adopt 5-year Omari. Omari had been living with the Austins for 3 years as a foster child. He came to the North Versailles family with half of his body in a cast, the victim of abuse. On this, National Adoption Day, the Austins and almost a dozen other family members came to the courtroom of Judge Kim Clark to finalize the adoption process of Omari. Afterwards the family held a large party to celebrate the day.
