Sheffield and Abraxas have agreed to continue football co-op. This quells the substantial rumors floating around that it may not continue.

There had been rumors swirling that Abraxas, an Adolescent Residential Treatment Center located in Marienville, Pa., was going to pull out of the co-op leaving the Sheffield football program in jeopardy of folding.
The news is welcomed news for the new District 9 Football Conference which was announced last week when the AML, which Sheffield is a member of, announced a merger with the KSAC to form a new super league that will include all but two football-playing schools in District 9 – Clearfield and DuBois – for football starting next season. Information obtained by D9Sports.com shows Sheffield in the northern small school division of the new conference along with Coudersport, Port Allegany, Otto-Eldred, Smethport and Cameron County. Union/A-C Valley, Redbank Valley, Curwensville, Clarion-Limestone, Keystone and Elk County Catholic are in the southern small school division while the remaining schools are in the large school division.
Sheffield is 0-9 on the year and ends the season when it hosts Eisenhower Saturday.
