Pittsburgh has its fair share of professional sports teams like: the Pittsburgh Steelers, Pittsburgh Penguins, Pittsburgh Pirates, and the Pittsburgh Riverhounds, but one sport you may not expect to see in Pittsburgh is bull riding. That’s right — the PBR (Professional Bull Riders) is coming to the Steel City. Pittsburgh is hosting the Premier Series tour in January of 2025, with the host city being Pennsylvania´s own Pittsburgh. The competition will be held inside PPG Paints Arena the home of the Pittsburgh Penguins from January 24-25 2025. The PBR fans of Pittsburgh and beyond are excited to watch their favorite bull riders take on the Steel City. With the PBR coming to Pittsburgh, fans have one common question, why? Why pick Pittsburgh, of all places, to host the PBR?

Tuesday, The Lady Mountaineers won over district rival Pocono Mountain East for the second time this season 53-36. The Mountaineers and Cardinals fought a competitive game. They were neck and neck throughout the first and second quarters. They kept finding themselves tied with the Cardinals 18-18, 24-24, and 28-28. The Mountaineers took the lead after the third quarter putting them at a 31-28. Mckayla Strunk, ’25, hit a career-high of 1000 points. She has also broken the school’s record for most 3-pointers with 131 points.  She also ended this game with a whopping 32 points. McKayla Strunk, ’25, shared that she is relieved to reach this goal and the only thing that got her through the game was knowing that “everyone in the gym believed she could do it.” This now leaves the Mountaineers 12-3 for the winter regular season. Stroudsburg’s next game is against their biggest rival East Stroudsburg South today at 6 at South.
