  • Cheers to Glenn0

    Jamie Spencer

    Penn State is still looking. The Nittany Lions decided to fire longtime coach James Franklin back in October. The fans and alumni were furious. It was a bold move. And unfortunately, AD Pat Kraft has not found a replacement. Many of the candidates have used this opportunity to land extensions at their existing schools. The

    Happy late Thanksgiving to the fine readers of the Webb Weekly. And special thanks to those who are fans of this page. I am truly humbled by your feedback and praise. I often receive several shouts in public. Strangers also recognize me from these columns. I gratuitously thank them with a fist bump. Cool. Before

    With the college and professional football seasons building to a championship crescendo and Christmas just around the corner, baseball has entered its ‘hot stove season.’ While the sport has taken a back seat for many, November was a busy time for Penn College baseball coach Chris Howard, who was inducted into the West Branch Valley

    Happy Thanksgiving to all from everyone here at Webb Weekly! The hustle and bustle of Black Friday and the holiday shopping season is ready to kick off, shoppers get out and save.

  • Remembering Some Wartime Thanksgivings of the Past0

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    As we celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday, we live in a time of comparative peace right now, but it wasn’t always that way. It might be interesting to look back at some wartime Christmases of the past. At Thanksgiving 1917, thousands of troops were already pouring across the Atlantic Ocean to fight the “dreaded Hun” in

  • Happy Thanksgiving0

    Scott Lowery

    Although I do not recall when I first heard the rationale, but it has stuck in my head each year when Thanksgiving rolls around. It references Thanksgiving being the best holiday of the year because ‘you don’t have to buy gifts, just eat and sit around and watch football all day.’ While that was never

    Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you’re getting ready to spend some quality time with close friends and loved ones.

Every year, I try to enjoy Thanksgiving for what

    As families gather around tables this Thanksgiving season, we have an opportunity to remember what truly matters: gratitude, connection, and the simple act of caring for one another. The warmth of shared meals and familiar faces reminds us that our common humanity transcends the artificial divisions we have created in our society. Political arguments during

    I have been clear over the years how blessed we are to live in our little corner of Penn’s Woods. This time of year, I would like to be talking about this in reference to everything that is going on around us. Veterans Day and all that we do to honor these special Americans has

    Best wishes to the local football squads. Several teams are still alive, competing for District titles. D4 is always well represented. Go get ’em. We are now shifting to the winter sports scene. College Basketball has already started. My guys, David and Davion Hill, are hooking up tonight in Muncie, Indiana. Mansfield vs Ball State.

    UConn’s quarterback Joe Fagnano is trending. The Williamsport Area High School grad is having an unbelievable season. He is leading the NCAA in several offensive categories. Fagnano was recently added to the “Manning Award” watchlist. Joe is also gaining momentum with the voters for this year’s Heisman. Unheard of. Sports Illustrated ran a story last

  • Conundrum0

    Scott Lowery

    Although it is not a word most folks use in everyday conversation, conundrum was a word often used by a colleague during my pre-retirement working days. Meaning “puzzle, mystery, challenge,” it sounded a bit like a sophisticated way to express ‘there’s trouble ahead.’ Somewhere along life’s path of journalistic learning, I was told the number

    The Fall is my favorite time of year to play, and I successfully teed it up a few times in September. I’m also off to a great start here in October. This is the most I’ve golfed in many years. The Lycoming College Warriors and I are currently en route to Shawnee on the Delaware.

    The leaves of October hadn’t yet started to fall, but the month’s second week produced a cascading plummet of rooting hopes for a bevy of area fans whose favorite team’s championship aspirations came crashing to the ground. While the New York Mets, baseball’s biggest spenders, didn’t even make it to October, the Big Apple’s behemoth

    The third Saturday in October can mean just one thing in these parts — the Mummers’ Parade in Southside. Hard for me to believe this year marks the 78th anniversary of the Autumn event. It seems like only yesterday I couldn’t wait for the parade to begin and to gather up all the candy possible.

    With just two weeks of football remaining in the regular season, optimism remains alive throughout the area as several high school teams compete for league championship honors and playoff positioning. Depending on the outcome, sports seasons can sometimes resemble the 1967 movie starring Clint Eastwood, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. It’s good when

    UPMC in North Central PA

    As the days grow shorter and temperatures drop, sunscreen often gets pushed to the back of the cabinet. After all, if the sun does not feel as strong in September and October, do you really need to apply it daily? The truth is yes. Your skin still benefits from protection long after summer ends. Fall

    As Penn State’s new wide receiver Trebor Pena hauled in one of his seven pass receptions from QB Drew Allar in the Nittany Lions opening day 46-11 win over Nevada, the TV talking head remarked, “Trebor had a great season at Syracuse last year (84, catches, 941 yards, 9 TDs) but they couldn’t afford him

    An old sports axiom states, “It’s not how you start, but how you finish that counts.” That same axiom could also be applied to the 2025 Williamsport Crosscutters’ MLB Draft League season, which ended last week. The defending 2024 league champions got off to a good start, holding first place midway through the first half

    We are around three weeks out from the first day of fall, but I can already feel the change coming. It’s a lot darker when the dogs take their last trip outside for the night, the nighttime temps are definitely cooler, and you can just ~smell~ fall in the air. With a new season approaching,
