The Cambria Heights Highlanders clinched a dramatic win over the Northern Cambria Colts in the annual Coal Bowl held September 19, 2025, in Patton, Pennsylvania.
This fierce Heritage Conference rivalry saw both teams deliver impressive performances, but Cambria Heights surged ahead in the final quarter to claim a hard-earned victory.
A pivotal moment arrived late in the game when Marshall Eckenrode powered in a 2-yard touchdown after a penalty placed the Highlanders deep in Colts territory, sealing the win with just minutes to spare.
Defensively, the Highlanders stifled the Colts’ dynamic quarterback Ty Dumm, while Braylon Rydbom’s key tackle on a fourth-and-2 play helped lock down the result.
Senior Jaxxon Jones led the Highlanders’ offense, rushing for 88 yards and driving the team’s tempo.
This win further fuels the local rivalry and boosts Cambria Heights’ standing in the conference as the season continues. Read More... |
