SHARPSVILLE, Pa - The Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association has given final approval to an arrangement that will allow West Middlesex football players to take to the gridiron for the next three years.

The PIAA on Friday okayed a co-op agreement allowing West Middlesex players to play for Sharpsville High School.

The agreement comes after West Middlesex announced last month that its program was short of players and their season in jeopardy.

The agreement, which covers this season and the following two seasons, has already been approved by school boards in both districts.

The agreement is in effect immediately.

All home games except one will be played at Sharpsville. In addition, there will be no changes to the logo or school colors. Sharpsville will remain Blue and White.
