Pictured is the Smethport football team, which returns nine starters from last year’s turnaround season. In 2025, first-year head coach Ryan Yingling inherited a youthful team that had gone 1-8 the year before and guided the Hubbers to a 4-6 mark, which matched the program’s win total from the previous three seasons combined. Now in year two under Yingling, Smethport appears poised to build on that foundation.
