Ask folks around the McComb area where to get the best down-home cooking and they’ll surely tell you to find your way to The Dinner Bell
The iconic round table restaurant started over 80 years ago
was intended to be a hobby business for Mr
who had the original 18-seat table fabricated by Loubat Restaurant Supply in New Orleans
The restaurant became quite popular with locals
and it was more than the Corbetts wanted to take on
so they sold the business to one of their employees
The restaurant has always had a strong legacy of traditional Southern cooking
Open Wednesday through Sunday from 11am to 2pm
the restaurant serves a full selection each day
with additional items added on Sundays.
The cooking begins each day they are open around 7am

The Dinner Bell began in a modest white frame building on Louisiana Avenue
but Whittington moved it to its present location at 229 5th Avenue in 1959
Originally a home completed in 1923 by John White
the restaurant grew from one large round table to several round tables to accommodate the crowd.

Another brother made his fortune in the lumber business
so when it was time for John to build his home
and birch trims accent the downstairs of the former home
If only the Whites had stock in Windex – John wanted plenty of sunlight and a view
so the home features plenty of paned windows – 1451 panes altogether.

much to the disappointment of local diners
That tide turned in 1980 when John Lopinto was visiting family in McComb
He had seen an ad in a New Orleans newspaper that The Dinner Bell was for sale
He drove by to see the building and learned that it was days away from becoming a dress and beauty shop

Grace Whittington-Wales returned to the restaurant for the ribbon cutting
along with a host of dignitaries from McComb and the surrounding area
The Lopintos retired in 2003 after nearly twenty-five years of running The Dinner Bell

Pittsburgh Union Progress
Montour’s Ama Sow might be the most exciting high school basketball player to watch in all of Western Pennsylvania
athleticism and drive to become a double-double machine
has a low post game that continues to blossom
“He’s amazing,” senior teammate Colton Straight said
Sow (rhymes with sew) is the marquee player for a Montour squad considered one of the best Class 5A teams in the state
but life hasn’t always been golden for this tall teen who hopes to lead his team to some gold medals and trophies in the next two months.
This is a kid who just over three years ago left his family in Senegal to come to the United States
160-pound 15-year-old who came to this country all by himself and without knowing a lick of English
As if Sow didn’t face a huge challenge already
the basketball program he traveled more than 4,000 miles away to play for folded just a few months after he arrived
and he and some of his teammates were booted from the house they were living in
took in Sow and have since become his legal guardians
fitting in as a student in the United States
And with the help of the McComb family and the Montour community overall
if that’s of any indication,” Montour coach Bill Minear said of Sow
who was actually picked to be “prince” during homecoming ceremonies
You’ve got to go to prep school.’ But the things I’ve learned here
Todd Price has been principal at Montour High School for 18 years
Price has interacted with thousands of students over the years but said that none of the others have been quite like Ama
whom Price said “ended up at Montour for a reason.”
“Ama’s story is a very unique one,” Price said
“I think it’s one that potentially could have not had a quote-unquote happy ending
but I think this is one of those stories that ends really well for him.”
which has a population of just over 1.2 million
Sow comes from a big family and said he had a happy childhood
He said he lived with his grandmother for a while before moving into another house that also included his parents and two siblings
Selle Hann has known Sow since the latter was a child
now an assistant coach at the University of Tennessee at Martin
at one time lived in the same neighborhood as Sow
remembers when Sow was so small that he was not a center or even a forward
I had some basketball shoes that I was giving out to kids in our neighborhood
Ama was so small and he had these shoes that were so big on him
Sow was part of a basketball academy in Senegal
was mainly on fundamentals such as dribbling and shooting
skills that he also refined by watching videos on YouTube
But there was a critical part of basketball that Sow did not learn back home
Sow would record videos of himself working out
tagging coaches in the United States on the posts
Sow said that got the attention of prep schools from around the country
One of those schools was First Love Christian
The school had a strong prep program that would regularly send players onto Division I colleges
Jeremy Grubbs was an assistant coach at First Love at the time
Grubbs is a Pine-Richland graduate who is now an assistant at Pepperdine
“Ama messaged me on Instagram and started sending me his [videos],” Grubbs recalled
and Sow eventually decided to leave home to come to the United States and attend First Love
especially with Sow not knowing any English
paving the way for Sow to come to the United States in December 2021
only 15 at the time and knowing no English
needed to fly to New York City and then to Pittsburgh
and then find his way to a home he would be living at in Trafford
To say that was a challenge would be an understatement
“He made it from New York to Pittsburgh and the home that he was staying at by himself with no cellphone,” Nicole McComb explained
“I can’t tell you that my other 18-year-old could do that
I don’t think a normal kid would have been able to do that
Sow said he took online classes at First Love in addition to learning how to play basketball
he had never even played 5-on-5 prior to coming to the country
lived in a house that was actually a converted funeral home
“There were seven guys in three bedrooms,” Grubbs recalled
Sow played in just a few games at First Love that season
which turned out to be the final one for First Love
The basketball program folded following the season and merged with a prep program in Scotland
It was just before that program folded when Jake DiMichele was first introduced to Sow
DiMichele was a star player at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart High School and is the third-leading scorer in WPIAL history
but prior to that played at First Love Scotland Campus
so I started working out with their guys,” DiMichele said
And then First Love moved to Scotland Campus where I went
“I was scrambling trying to help this kid out
trying to figure out where he could go at least for the summer
I called Dave [McComb] because he’s a guy I’ve known
McComb vividly remembers that phone call he received from Grubbs in May 2022
McComb said it was on a Thursday morning and he was on the golf course ready to tee off on the first hole
“He explained the story,” McComb remembered
“He said he was going on vacation and said
do you want to take this kid?’ I thought for like two weeks when he was on vacation
All of the kids that were there were gone but Ama
He really can’t go back to his home country.’
we’ll take him.’ And then I told her like three days later.”
a small diner in Coraopolis named after his daughter
He and his wife had three kids of their own when Ama joined them — Brandon Bieranowski is now 18
Brandon played basketball at Montour before graduating last year
while Aiden is a 5-9 sophomore guard on this year’s team
Ama has become a member of the family … literally
the McCombs became Sow’s legal guardians after just two months of him living with them
“Everybody kind of voted,” Nicole McComb said
and as a family we just enjoyed having him around.”
Sow and the McComb siblings have become tight
That’s especially true when it comes to his relationship with Gianna
who seemed to always be flashing a big smile while interacting with Sow following a practice late last month
When a reporter asked the family to make their way onto the court for a photo
unsure if he was supposed to be a part of it
Gianna then looked at Sow and adorably said
“I feel like they are my brothers and I see them as my brothers,” Ama said of Brandon and Aiden
this whole saga of Sow becoming comfortable living in this country has come with quite a few obstacles
“He had to learn the American way of doing things
and that was very complicated for him for a while,” Nicole said
“What he had learned and what he believes is his culture is not how we do things all the time
Figuring out what to feed Sow was a challenge
it was difficult for the McCombs to figure out what they should and should not be feeding Sow
And then there was the topic of what to do during Ramadan
the monthlong period in which Muslims don’t consume any food or drink during daylight hours
“Ramadan was crazy for us the first time because he can’t eat during the day
So is it disrespectful to eat in front of him?” Dave McComb questioned
and then you’re trying to force feed him as soon as the sun goes down.”
that being loading and unloading the dishwasher
Sow has made friends with members of the local Senegalese community
which Nicole McComb said has been a great resource for him
especially during times when he’s gotten homesick and during the holidays
That community includes Pitt basketball players Papa Kante and Amdy Ndiaye
Sow began taking classes at Montour High School at the start of the 2022-23 academic year
there might not have been any student in the entire district more excited to get started
I didn’t get a chance to go to school there
I was really excited to go to school and meet new people.”
that lasted for about six months,” Dave McComb said
Sow has come a long way these past few years
one of the biggest improvements being his English
he knew so little English that he was watching American television shows with the captions on so he could learn [the language],” said Grubbs
who has maintained a relationship with Sow
“He’s done a great job of advancing his English
and that’s because he put a lot of work into it.”
Sow said that watching TV is one of his favorite hobbies outside of basketball
He lists “Prison Break” and “Money Heist” as being his favorite shows
The McCombs said that some work needed to be done to figure out where Sow was academically
considering nearly all of his previous school work took place in Senegal
But Nicole said that Montour did an excellent job in helping Sow land in the spot where he needed to be
Sow had to double up on some classes his first year (sophomore)
but has not had to take any summer courses
He’s a strong student and is on track to graduate in the spring
“He sits in the first row of every class he’s in
“He’s tried so hard to assimilate himself and learn the language
I give him credit for dealing with the circumstances
Whatever Ama decides to do in his life’s work
It’s almost hard to believe that Sow has been playing actual basketball games for only a handful of years
Just as he has made huge strides learning a new way of life
he has taken similar giant steps on the court
“I’m proud of the fact of how willing he is to learn
but he’s a hard worker,” Minear said of Sow
the tallest player Minear has coached in his several decades of coaching
Sow’s numbers on the court have improved each season
he averaged 13.1 points a game as a sophomore
17.1 as a junior and now 21.6 his senior season
who a few weeks ago scored his 1,000th career point
is averaging 17.4 rebounds and 3.7 blocked shots per game
He has produced a double-double in every game and collected his first triple-double when he finished with 33 points
18 rebounds and 10 assists in a win against West Allegheny last month
He’s shooting 48% from the field and 82% from the line
it’s easy to see why some believe he is the WPIAL’s best player
DiMichele has kept tabs on Sow these past few years
“The improvement that that kid has made over three years
becoming more adept to the American culture
Sow is a major reason Montour is 18-1 and has WPIAL and PIAA championship aspirations
The Spartans (11-0 in section play) have wrapped up the Class 5A Section 3 title and have a strong shot of earning the No
1 seed in the WPIAL playoffs when the brackets are announced next week
The Spartans own strong wins against the likes of Upper St
and their only loss was to a team from Florida
Ask Sow about playing high school basketball in Western Pennsylvania
Another thing that is pretty cool is that Ama’s family back in Senegal watches many of his games via internet streams
Ama said he is in contact with them nearly every day
and Dave McComb said that hope is for Sow to return to Senegal to visit them for a few weeks following graduation
but he’s also pretty popular following games
“You’ll see kids in the youth program come up to him,” said Price
“They’ll ask him for his autograph and shake his hand
A lot of kids today get caught up with themselves
but he’ll go out of his way to interact with people.”
but having Sow leave the area will be a transition for the McComb family
it’s going to be like a lost organ for her,” Nicole said
“And I’m going to need to find someone else to pick on.”
Duquesne offered in the fall of Sow’s junior season
so picking the Dukes and staying local was on the table
Another intriguing option was to go to Pepperdine to be reunited with Grubbs
none of them went as far back with the big fella as Hann
The Skyhawks are a Division I team that competes in the Ohio Valley Conference
Sow became the first recruit to sign with first-year UT Martin coach Jeremy Shulman
and Hann called Sow a “big time” recruit for the program
“He’ll fit into our system well,” Hann said
He’s a big-time fit with the basketball part of it
and we want to bring in young men that are really great kids
You can bet that many in the Montour community will be following Sow closely as he moves onto college and
maybe even into the professional ranks one day
“We’re just hoping he makes it to the NBA and remembers to get us peanut heaven tickets,” Nicole said
who calls Anthony Edwards his current favorite player and Michael Jordan his all-time favorite
‘What do you want to do when you grow up?’ I’ve said that I want to play in the NBA,” Sow said
Sow has a steep hill to climb to achieve that specific dream of his
but it’s probably not wise to bet against him considering what he has been through
overcome and accomplished these past few years
“That’s a big-time story that needs to be heard,” Hann said
“I’m really proud of him because it’s not easy
it’s a big-time story and I’m super proud of him.”

LAWRENCE — To listen to Lance Leipold talk about David McComb
is to listen to a head coach talk about a quarterback that fits their system
McComb was someone Leipold said Jim Zebrowski
fell in love with when it came to McComb’s ability
and Leipold noted the status McComb holds as a quarterback could have served as kickstart for a domino effect for the recruiting class as a whole
RELATED: Kansas football transfer portal tracker: Who’s joining the Jayhawks, and who’s leaving?
“Quarterback is going to be a highly competitive position
and you worry about — it kind of puts us back at our number of where we want to be in the room
we always haven’t been there,” said Leipold
who also mentioned how early McComb committed
to have somebody like David in there and enrolling early and getting a chance to come in and compete and develop is going to be exciting to see.”

There are a pair of young quarterbacks on the roster ahead of him in Isaiah Marshall
There’s also a veteran coming back in Jalon Daniels
a redshirt junior and starter for Kansas this past season who has announced he’s returning in 2025
McComb’s signing came prior to Daniels’ official announcement on social media that he would be returning next year
As Leipold highlighted it helps the Jayhawks build for the future
Daniels played and started in all 12 games in 2024
but the 2022 and 2023 seasons outlined how important it is for KU to have a quarterback room that has multiple guys ready to step up if needed
There was talk this fall about the bond Daniels shared with the veteran wide receivers he’d thrown the ball to in recent years
McComb is a part of a signing class that has four from the high school ranks
in four-star Jaden Nickens and a trio of three-stars in Jackson Cook
similar stories will be told about this group
which will arrive on campus as a part of a larger group of newcomers that includes a host of players on both sides of the ball from the transfer portal

Kansas quarterback David McComb was at the forefront of a breakthrough year in the Edmond Memorial High School football program
he helped the Bulldogs to just their second-ever playoff win and their first trip to the Class 6A-I semifinals since their district split into multiple high schools in 1994
That drew the admiration of his future quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator
“It was really cool for him to stay in the same school … I was really impressed by that,” Zebrowski told reporters on March 4
“When it wasn’t a football-type school
he helped it become a football school.”
Lance Leipold and the rest have tried to do with KU’s program more broadly at the collegiate level
toward helping the Jayhawks continue to establish themselves on the national stage
he’s merely an early-enrolling freshman settling into college
“It’s been great,” McComb said on Saturday
even (Jalon Daniels) has been helping me just learn the playbook
Every time I have a question they’re there for me on the field
McComb was a three-star recruit out of Memorial
where he finished his career as the Bulldogs’ all-time leader in passing yards and touchdowns
Not a lot of programs were recruiting McComb
at least before the team started to have some success — “It’s so funny,” Zebrowski said
they go from a one-star or two-star to like a 22-star” — but KU Director of Player Personnel Grant Murray took note because he was finely attuned to the sorts of attributes Zebrowski covets
“Two words I always look for is loose and sudden,” Zebrowski said
also mentioning that McComb has a slightly unusual arm angle for off-platform throws
“He’s sudden in his ability to make decisions and make different types of throws
McComb received a scholarship offer from KU in May 2023 and committed to the Jayhawks just two months later
before even starting his junior year of high school
He got to see KU’s entire 2025 class take shape over the course of the next year and a half
“We’re not as fast as the ’26 class,” McComb said
“The ’26 class has a lot of recruits coming in
But it was good to see some guys like (wide receiver and fellow early enrollee) Bryson Hayes flip and all that stuff
KU switched offensive coordinators twice from Andy Kotelnicki to Jeff Grimes and then again to Zebrowski
McComb said he thought Zebrowski might have gotten the gig when Kotelnicki left
“but sometimes it doesn’t work out that way and he’s done a great job so far.”
“I’m super excited because he’s recruited me from the start,” McComb said
he said he’s picked up the playbook pretty quickly (“That’s something I kind of take pride in”) and more generally benefited from enrolling early
But he’s encountered other challenges as he learns to read defenses more quickly and improve his footwork
The biggest hurdles have been more mental than physical
“You got to always look for that next rep,” McComb added
“Don’t get too down if I mess up
I’m going to make mistakes and just learn from it and keep improving.”
He is indeed only a freshman at this juncture
and low down the pecking order at quarterback
even with Daniels extremely limited during the spring due to his recent knee procedure
to be everything that we want him to be and more.”
