The Northgate Flames hit the road again last Saturday, and found themselves engaged in what is becoming a common theme for this team -- another defensive scrap. The 16-6 score doesn't accurately depict the closeness of this game. The Flames lost to the Riverview Raiders, but fought to the very end.

The Flames’ defense held the Raiders scoreless in the first quarter, forcing Riverview to punt after being unable to pick-up a first down on their first two drives.

Seniors spark Northgate’s return to Class A

By MEL PERKINS

The Northgate Flames appear to be primed to make some noise in the 2010 football season.

The Northgate football team has moved from the Class AA Century Conference to the Class A Eastern Conference. This move should prove beneficial for the Flames, when you consider that they were one of the smallest schools competing in the WPIAL's Class AA.

Coach Mike Pipak, in his fourth year, will be leading an experienced Flames team, with a core group of seven returning seniors.
