• What does Eastern York’s football team look like? www.gametimepa.com outlook – Here’s the perspective from that side of the river: “Columbia at Eastern York – Kickoff: 7 p.m. – Last year: Columbia 43, Eastern York 24 – The skinny: Eastern hopes to reverse its fortunes when the cross-river rivals hit the field again to open another campaign.  – Crimson Tide must: Pound the ball. The Tide topped 300 yards rushing — with 464 total yards — when these two met a year ago and were able to win going away. – Golden Knights must: Not get caught up in the rivalry and play solid football in coach Richard Brubaker’s debut. Making sure Alex Cooley (1,204 yards, 18 TDs) touches the ball often could go a long way.” (York Daily Record)
