Patrick Kline, who signed a letter of intent to play football for the Vulcans in February, also is a member of Wrestling Buddies program recently featured in People magazine.
Pine-Richland Patrick Kline will soon be trading in his horns for a blacksmith’s hammer. The Rams standout senior offensive lineman in February signed on to play football in the fall at California University of Pennsylvania. Although offered football scholarships to several other schools, the Vulcans felt like the best fit for him, Kline recently told the Pittsburgh Tribune Review. “I saw the previous success, and once I met with the coaches, I knew it was the school for me,” he said. “I will major in business or biology and minor in a foreign language.” Standing at 6-foot-4 and weighing 270 pounds, Kline earned an All-Section honorable mention his junior year as a center, this despite only playing three games there at the end of the …

The new head coach is the former PR offensive coordinator.
Pine-Richland has a new head football coach—Eric Kasperowicz. The Pine-Richland School Board made it official Monday night. Kasperowicz, who served as the program's offensive coordinator, fills the void left when longtime coach Clair Altemus announced his retirement after the 2012 season. "I'm excited for the opportunity and eager to get started," Kasperowicz said after the meeting. Before coming to Pine-Richland, Kasperowicz coached and played at North Hills High School under legendary coach Jack McCurry. Kasperowicz said it was a "privilege and an honor" to work with McCurry, but he did not give any thought to applying for the North Hills head coaching job to replace his former coach. He said he moved his family to the area two and a …

Pine-Richland trounced Shaler last week.
The North Hills Indians travel to Pine-Richland Friday to take on the Rams, who have struggled this season with just three wins and four losses. The Indians, following a tough loss to the Seneca Valley Raiders, will look to bounce back against the Rams. Pine-Richland is coming off a big win over Shaler a week ago. Ben DiNucci, the sophomore quarterback for Pine-Richland, will need to play a big role if the Rams are going to upset the Indians. Pine-Richland will give the rushing load mainly to Connor Slomka, who has run for over 700 yards this season. Brock Baranowski, the senior running back who recently returned to the team after an injury that sidelined him for five weeks, might also see some carries for the Rams. The Indians will look …
