MECHANICSBURG, Pa. (AP) - Pennsylvania's governing body for high school athletics has voted to keep its enrollment classification system for football intact. The Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association's board voted 15-13 Friday morning in favor of keeping the current system of four classes, Class A through AAAA. The PIAA voted down a proposal that would have moved to a six-class system for football
only and shortened the current 16-week season to 15 weeks. The current system will remain in place through the end of the 2011-2012 school year.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Sean McDermott has replaced Jim Johnson as the Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator, two days before the team opens training camp. The 68-year-old Johnson took an indefinite leave of absence in May to continue treatment for a cancerous tumor on his spine. It's uncertain whether he'll return to the team in any capacity. McDermott, 35, will be introduced at a news conference on Saturday afternoon, the team said Friday. He ran the defense in Johnson's absence after serving as secondary coach last year. McDermott originally joined the Eagles in 1998as a scouting administrative coordinator, and has served in various roles as an assistant on the defensive staff.

RENO, Nev. (AP) - Lawyers and legal scholars say the woman accusing Ben Roethlisberger of raping her last summer may have a chance of winning an out-of-court settlement. But she will have a difficult time convincing a judge and jury she was assaulted by the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback.
