The game lineups are intact for New Castle and Tech plans a short workout on arrival before the noon kickoff in a high stakes grid duel.

New Castle High Line Sets Record In Tri State Football
New Castle High School football fans praise the Red and Black line for holding opponents to five first downs in three games at Ben Franklin field. Leaders Dufford Sumner Millison and others anchor a unit that has yet to allow a rush for a first down, with two scores from the air line forging a strong start. If the line holds, a win over Harrisburg Tech could mirror 1924 upset of the State Capital team.
