RIZZO: Steelers or Kittanning vs. FC?

by Michael Rizzo

I’ve been to the last three Kittanning vs. Ford City boys basketball games, and while they’ve had larger than normal crowds, they weren’t packed. Kittanning is off to their best start in years and there is no school tomorrow. No work for most people too. This should be a really exciting game. Kittanning has a star player in Nathan Stoliza making headlines, and I can’t wait to see what defense the Sabers deploy. It would be sad if it wasn’t an overflow crowd. A lot of people remember when every game was packed, especially at Ford City. Everything is in place for this to be one of the best local games we’ve seen in years. The stage is set, the storylines are there, but the competing Steelers’ game will likely mean a sparse crowd.

RIZZO: Final Days of the Column

by Michael Rizzo

Also just letting everyone know next Friday, December 31, 2010 will be my last column. With my professional career is requiring so much time, it has become impossible for me to carry on with a daily column. I would like to continue, but an increased travel schedule makes it non-feasible. I honestly don’t know the future plans of the paper. I believe I was the only person in a long time to write a daily local column. I will continue to do my Tuesday night cable show, which is easier on me since it only requires committing one day a week. Hopefully I’ll be able to make a few updates on it. I know the KP is more popular now then ever before with thousands of people reading this column on a daily basis. I’m thankful and amazed so many people make this part of their day.
