Stephen Stopper knows all about it. The Loyalsock quarterback has played intense football, basketball and baseball games against Hughesville the last three years, including last year’s District 4 Class AA basketball championship. Bryce Pardoe knows all about it. The Hughesville tight end/linebacker has been on the opposite end in each of those games that were defined by close outcomes and raucous atmospheres. Stopper and Pardoe have played in some of the biggest high school games imaginable, competing for baseball state championships and district and Eastern Region championships in basketball. Friday night both standout three-sport athletes play the biggest football game of their lives. Make no mistake about this–whenever Hughesville and Loyalsock play it’s a big deal. When they meet in a district semifinal tonight under the Friday Night lights at Hughes­ville’s Harold L. Sheafer Stadium with a spot in the district final at stake, well, it doesn’t get a whole lot better than that.
