of a local hero who saved a family from a burning building.

In a heart-pounding act of bravery, local hero John Smith saved a family of four from a burning building in downtown yesterday evening. Smith, a construction worker by day, was passing by the building when he noticed smoke billowing out of the windows. Without hesitation, he sprang into action and rushed into the building to rescue the trapped family.

“I just knew I had to do something,” Smith said. “I couldn’t stand by and watch as people were in danger.”

Smith managed to locate the family on the second floor of the building and guided them to safety through the thick smoke and flames. Thanks to his quick thinking and selfless actions, all four members of the family were rescued unharmed.

Witnesses on the scene were in awe of Smith’s courage and quick response.

“It was like something out of a movie,” said one bystander. “He didn’t think twice about putting himself in harm’s way to save those people.”

The local fire department arrived on the scene shortly after the family was rescued and was able to extinguish the fire before it spread to neighboring buildings.

Smith’s heroic actions have not gone unnoticed, as the community has rallied around him, praising him for his bravery and selflessness.

“I’m no hero,” Smith said modestly. “I just did what anyone else would have done in that situation.”

But to the family he saved, and to the rest of the community, John Smith will always be remembered as a true local hero.

Remembering Pitt Athletics Hall of Famer Bobby Grier, Trailblazer in College Football

Pitt Athletics Hall of Famer Bobby Grier, the first Black player to participate in the Sugar Bowl, passed away at the age of 91 on June 30. Grier made history when he played in the 1956 Sugar Bowl on his 23rd birthday, breaking a racial barrier without even realizing it at the time.

Despite facing opposition from Georgia governor Marvin Griffin, who tried to prevent Grier from playing in the game due to racial segregation, Grier’s teammates and even the opposing team, Georgia Tech, stood by him. Refusing to travel without Grier, the team made a powerful statement by insisting, “No Grier, no game.”

Grier’s courage and determination to play in the Sugar Bowl have left a lasting impact on Pitt Athletics and college football as a whole. Inducted into the Pitt Athletics Hall of Fame in 2020 and the Sugar Bowl Hall of Fame two years prior, Grier’s legacy continues to inspire.

The University of Pittsburgh expressed deep condolences to Grier’s family and friends, highlighting his role in driving the national conversation toward justice during a pivotal time in American history. The football team will honor Grier during the 2024 season by wearing a commemorative helmet sticker to pay tribute to his remarkable and impactful life.

Pitt director of athletics Heather Lyke praised Grier for his courage and dignity in desegregating the Sugar Bowl, describing it as one of the most important moments in the history of both the university and college football. Grier’s legacy will continue to inspire future generations of student-athletes to strive for excellence and stand up for what is right.
