Greensburg Salem grad Madison Cassidy finds early success in pool at Saint Vincent

There are no lofty goals. Really, there never have been for Madison Cassidy when she’d be jumping into a pool of water. She just likes to swim. But Cassidy, a four-time WPIAL place-winner in the 100 breaststroke for Greensburg Salem, is absolutely loving the sport these days as a freshman...
Duquesne’s Tess Myers displaying similar skills to a former Dukes basketball player, her father

Another Myers is at it again at Duquesne. Did someone say “Sonar?” Reminiscent of another era when Burrell’s own Joey “Sonar” Myers would heat up from long range for the Dukes men’s basketball team, daughter Tess flashed a little “Sonar” of her own some 40 years later in a recent...
Westmoreland campus clippings: Franklin Regional grad Spencer Lee opens season with victory

Mark Madden: T.J. Watt’s injuries — and $80M contract — are real concerns

In October, the headline on my column trumpeted, “T.J. Watt worth every red cent.” That’s still true — when he plays. But Watt is hurt a lot. Watt played sporadically in Sunday’s 36-10 loss at Kansas City. He reportedly has cracked ribs. Watt had one tackle and zero sacks. He...

Madden Monday on disaster in Kansas City: ‘The Steelers just rolled over and died’

Steelers notebook: After quiet game, T.J. Watt mum on possible rib injury

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A week after setting the franchise’s single-season sacks record, T.J. Watt was invisible for much of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 36-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. An injury to his ribs might have been a contributing factor to Watt finishing with just one tackle and no...

Because we are coming up on New Year’s resolution season, I’d like to make one about my own coverage of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
