Good run for CV ends

Another season came to an end on the sun-splashed Mansion Park Stadium turf Saturday afternoon.

For the second year in a row, Cumberland Valley lost in the PIAA Class AAAA semifinals. This season, North Allegheny dumped the Eagles, 35-17.

CV held a 10-7 lead at the break but the second half was all North Allegheny.

The Tigers easily pulled ahead, 21-10, with two touchdowns in the third and the Eagles couldn't answer.

CV, which finished 12-3 and won its 10th District 3 Class AAAA title, will lose a huge amount of seniors from this team but the future isn't totally bleak.

The Eagles won't be the 3-AAAA favorite next year -- then again, who is the early front-runner to unseat the two-time defending champions? -- but with star running back/defensive back Jeremy DiPietro and two-way lineman Kyle Friend back, CV might have a few surprises up its sleeve.
