First-year Franklin Regional coach Brian Johnson says his team made real progress this fall, even if the record does not show it, TribLive reports. The Panthers earned one Class 5A Big East win, over Fox Chapel, and lost close games to Connellsville, 24-21, and Latrobe, 29-27. The season ended Oct. 30 with a 17-10 loss at Hampton.

Injuries gave underclassmen valuable snaps. Both quarterbacks and many linemen return, the run game was a strength, and the passing game needs work. The middle school team won four games.

Westmoreland Coal Co. opened the Export Mine in 1892 on former Ament family farmland east of Murrysville. By 1904 its two drift mines were the largest single mining operation in Westmoreland County, turning out about 734,000 tons that year.

A long strike began in 1910 and ended after Export became a borough in 1911. The town grew to about 2,500 people in the 1920s, and the mines closed in 1952. Look for the half moon concrete fan house, which still stands today.

At the Roberts Trailhead on the Westmoreland Heritage Trail, 4301 William Penn Hwy., a replica Liberty Bell sits on a coal car built by Murrysville Public Works. Artist Stacey Pydynkowski painted it with the Haymaker gas well, coal, rail, wind and solar, with sponsorship from FirstEnergy.
