Baughman Named Week Six Jim Kelly District 9 Football Player of the Week

Baughman Named Week Six Jim Kelly District 9 Football Player of the Week

WARREN, Pa. – Down 14 points with 7 ½ minutes to play, things looked bleak for Cameron County.

But Maddox Baughman helped rally the Red Raiders to a 30-28 win over visiting Bucktail by throwing a touchdown pass and then scoring a touchdown on a 1-yard run with 1:17 to play.

That is a large reason Baughman is the Week Six Jim Kelly District 9 Football Player of the Week powered by the Allegheny Grille in Foxburg.

He finished the game 11 of 19 for 172 yards passing with three touchdowns, including a 6-yard scoring pass to Malakai Zucal with 6:38 to play that cut a 28-14 deficit to 28-22 (Cameron actually trailed by as many as 16, 22-6, in the second half).

Baughman also ran eight times for 81 yards and a touchdown.

Cameron County Nutrition Temporary Shop Changes

Cameron County Nutrition 
PLEASE READ! TEMPORARY SHOP CHANGES! 

 As many of you know, I will be having a baby towards the middle of November. To accommodate to my workers, our schedules, and what’s going to be easiest for us, we have to do some TEMPORARY hour changes! Notice how I said temporary, these should only be for the time that I’m out. I’m hoping for a quick and speedy recovery so that I can get back to serving the community and bringing lots of new ideas to the shop! But please be patient with me as I’m welcoming my first baby, and want to soak in as many snuggles in the privacy of our own home!

Hard To Read License Plate Event

 

If you are dealing with an unreadable license plate on your vehicle, please join us on Thursday, Oct. 26, for an event to help you get that plate replaced at NO CHARGE. 

 The event will be from 4-7 p.m. at the Lewis Run Volunteer Fire Department, 46 Main St., Lewis Run.

 State law requires PennDOT to replace license plates that are deemed illegible at no cost to the vehicle owner. A plate is considered illegible when one or more numbers or letters cannot be recognized from 50 feet away, typically due to blistering, peeling, discoloration, loss of reflectivity or other damage. 

 The McKean County Sheriff’s Office will be on hand to view driver’s plates, and if the plates are deemed illegible, paperwork to start the replacement process will be completed. Those who plan to attend should bring their vehicle with the affected plate attached, along with their unexpired PA driver’s license and current vehicle registration card. 

 Registration is requested and may be completed online at  www.RepCauser.com/Events or by calling the Bradford office at 814-362-4400.
