There is now more insight as to what has taken place with the West Pittsburgh midget football organization. In a conversation with the president of the ACMFL, Jose’ Regus, the West Pittsburgh team has been voted out—in a league vote for contention this season.

| STAR OF THE DAY —James Newton was the star of the day for the North Side Steelers running the ball several times for about 100 yards and was presented the game ball.

“We summoned (West Pittsburgh) to a meeting in which we wanted discuss some potential violations of the league’s policies,” said Regus. “In the process, we determined that they were, in fact, in violation of several league rules. From there, we made the final decision to move on without that organization for the remainder of the season.”
This will not have any infliction to the playoff format or anything, rules-wise, that is in place with the league.
In other league news, there were two sweeps this week. In four games Garfield ousted Braddock to increase their first place overall win total to 28 games. Homewood also swept the North Side in three games (they did not play the midget game due to an emergency situation).

| BIG GAIN—Garrett Barnett runs through the defense for a 20-yard gain and a first down to help Homewood win the game.
