Norwin’s fall sports teams also will have to practice and play away from home as Knights’ Stadium gets its massive facelift.
The football team, athletic director Mike Burrell confirmed, will play four “home games” at Penn-Trafford.
Norwin’s track & field and lacrosse teams have played away during this spring season, holding meets and games at East Allegheny and Yough.
Norwin and Penn-Trafford are forever rivals but have worked together as Norwin awaits its new stadium.
Trying to make the inconveniences with constant back-and-forth trips, even for workouts, the norm is a challenge, albeit a temporary one, for Norwin teams.
”We’re thankful for Penn-Trafford allowing us to play close to home,” said Norwin football coach Mike Brown, a Penn-Trafford alum. “It speaks volumes of their leadership. We’re also excited about getting to compete and build off our season last year. That’s our main focus right now.”
The soccer teams, meanwhile, will have practices and games at Yough, East Allegheny and Jeannette.
“Everybody has been very helpful and accomodating for us,” Burrell said. “We appreciate their help as we work through (the stadium project).”
