Beaver Falls lineman Brock Boxen verbally committed to Akron, becoming the second WPIAL football recruit from the 2014 class to pick the Zips. The 6-foot-3, 260-pound senior will play defensive line for second-year coach Tommy Bowden. “They made me feel at home,” said Boxen, who also considered Connecticut “I visited some other schools I liked, but at Akron, I could just tell. ... With the new coaching staff there, I wanted to be a part of it.” Blackhawk quarterback Chandler Kincade, a former Pitt commit, chose Akron in June. Kincade's move influenced Boxen's decision. “I was already interested in Akron, but once I heard Chandler committed, I definitely wanted to go check out the school,” Boxen said. “You want to look where other people find a good fit.” Tarentum teen dies in fall from moving truckBeaver Falls lineman Boxen commits to AkronZolnierczyk gets 2-way deal from PenguinsMercer’s single wins it in 11th for PiratesMalkin has his priorities in placePenn State notebook: QB Ferguson remains home in CaliforniaMass with bishop is postponed in FootedaleKovacevic: Pittsburgh spared shame of vilifying WrightFrom seeds to suds: Wexford farm grows hops for local craft brewsWCCC’s Advanced Technology Center to emerge in former Sony plant
