Re: Inquiring Minds Want to Know

Re: Northern Bedford vs Steelton Highspire

The parking will be a nightmare for the NBC game at Claysburg on Friday . Not only is there a football game, but the Claysburg Community theater is having their yearly production, The Sound of Music, in the school auditorium, which always draws a large crowd.

Re: 2023 LHAC Football

The new sport's fields at Claysburg-kimmel are unbelievable. It reminds me of what you might see at a small college, not at a single A school. One of the fans told me it was done at a cost of between 5- 7 million , and they still have more to do in adding of additional parking lots ,a fully furnishe...
