The Belle Vernon Area football team was nearly left in the dark Tuesday night.
On the heels of winning the WPIAL 3A Championship on Friday at Acrisure Stadium, the Leopards are now preparing to face Central Martinsburg in the PIAA state semifinals.
However, on Tuesday night at James Weir Stadium, a downed utility pole threatened practice, as power in the area was knocked out.
Practice didn't end for Belle Vernon, though, as temporary lights were brought in on short notice from Lighthouse Electric and United Rentals, and the Leopards carried on.
