Grayson was visiting home from Hampton University, where he was a freshman, to attend the festivities.
Just hours before the game, he was laid to rest at Wesley Center AMEZ Church, where his father, Rev. Glenn Grayson, is the pastor. Despite the heavy circumstances, Schenley defeated Westinghouse, 22-6.

And yet the World Series matchup of Texas and San Francisco could be intriguing, despite what all the TV ratings people say. If only fans around the country knew these two teams better.

In boxing they say to beat the champ you have to knock him out. East Allegheny (5-3) had Greensburg Central Catholic (8-0), the defending WPIAL champions, on the ropes but failed to deliver the fatal dagger.
The Wildcats weren’t very hospitable as senior night hosts to the visiting Centurions in the first half of their Interstate Conference showdown Friday night.

Category: Sports Written by Christian Morrow - Courier Staff Writer
Elijah Daniel “Lucky” Miller was such a fixture at Homestead’s Second Baptist Church, it is doubtful anyone will surpass his 65-year attendance record. He was remembered there in a home going ceremony Oct. 18. Miller passed away Oct. 12 at West Penn Hospital’s Forbes Hospice. He was 104.
In 1926 he moved from his native Virginia to work at U.S. Steel’s Homestead Works. Until his death, he was still collecting a pension.
