Hummel Wharf, Pa. 743-7266 or 800-654-2470 Veach goes out like By Charlie Lenta Spins reporter ALTOONA Ever since he was old enough to know what a football was, Brett Veach knew what he wanted to do with it. "When I was a kid, I wanted to be the best running back to ever come out of Mount Carmel," said Veach the stands at Mansion Park after the Red Tornadoes defeated Tyrone, 25-6. for the Class A A state football championship.
