Columbia begins search for new L-L League varsity football coach | High School Football | lancasteronline.com

Shortly after John Brubaker tendered his resignation after 10 years at Penn Manor, Columbia's Brady Mathias — the youngest coach in the league — stepped down from the Crimson Tide's program.

Citing his desire to spend more time with his family — he has a toddler at home — while juggling teaching duties, Mathias walked away after three seasons on Columbia's sideline.

Dealing with a small roster and trying to keep everyone healthy, the Tide had a difficult 0-10 season this fall, and Columbia went 5-25 under Mathias, a former football player for Hempfield during his prep days.

Mathias did not rule out a return to coaching; he said he's stepping down for now.

[LNP | LancasterOnline] Columbia man sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl after giving her marijuana : police

Police have charged a Columbia man with sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl in his home in September 2023. 

Robert Fink Jr., 43, is facing five felony counts related to sexual assault of a minor. 

In a criminal complaint filed last week, police say the girl was visiting Fink's home on the evening of Sept. 9, 2023. Fink's girlfriend was present when the girl arrived but left around 8 p.m.

According to the criminal complaint, the girl said Fink gave her marijuana, and she soon became high. 

Police said Fink proceeded to lock the doors of the room and began sexually assaulting the girl, ignoring her demands to stop.

After making a report to Columbia police, the girl was taken to Penn State Health Lancaster Medical Center for a sexual assault forensic examination. DNA found during the examination was later matched to Fink after police collected a sample from him in August 2023, police said.

Fink remains in Lancaster County Prison after being unable to post $500,000 bail. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Nov. 19. 

YWCA Lancaster runs a 24-hour sexual assault hotline, 717-392-7273, that connects callers to free, confidential counseling and therapy services for community members impacted by sexual abuse, harassment or assault.
