  • That’s Not Fair0

    Scott Lowery

    Think back to your childhood days and how many times you may have uttered those words. Even as adults, most have thought about or spoken those three little words at some time when confronted with a situation that seemed unbalanced. In reality, life itself is unfair, but athletic competition is meant to be undertaken on

    Before I move forward with this week’s column, I want to clarify something that I’ve heard a few times over the years and again most recently. There are no cryptic messages within my column. To the person over last week’s column that thinks I communicate with Republicans in this manner while trying to undermine Democrats,

    On May 7, Casey Rojas will step into a boxing ring at MGM Music Hall at Fenway for Rock ‘N Rumble XV, a charity boxing event organized by Haymakers for Hope. At 37, he’s been training hard at BoxSmith gym in Boston with the kind of discipline that comes naturally to him. But this fight

    Scott Lowery

    Twenty-five years ago, my interactions with Rich Zalonis were common. As a football statistician at South Williamsport, our meetings occurred weekly. But despite living in the same community, our paths have seldom crossed in recent years. Thus, I was surprised when he walked into our team’s dugout prior to a recent softball game in Hazelton.

  • Mr. Muncy0

    Scott Lowery

    Muncy High School basketball coach Jason Gresh said it best – “March 24 was a bad day for Muncy.” The occasion of Gresh’s remarks was an April 1 celebration of life remembrance and tribute to John Brink, a Muncy coach and icon who passed away March 24. The public turnout of hundreds of friends, coaches,

  • Crowning Champions in March0

    Scott Lowery

    In a well-known metaphor dating back to 1879, the phrase ‘there’s light at the end of the tunnel’ is often used to describe the end of disappointing times. Unashamedly, repeating its usage today, the same can be said as March’s arrival has brought with it increasing daylight, signs of approaching spring, the beginning of the

    It was a typical Sunday morning as the pastor stood before the parishioners making the weekly church announcements. As he departed to join the choir for the formal entrance to begin the service, he suddenly reappeared, stating, “One more announcement, the hockey game is 1-1 after two periods.” The congregation nodded and smiled approvingly.

    Scott Lowery

    Journalism students learn the lesson early in their studies; there is a distinct difference between a reporter and a columnist. The main differences are their focus and style of writing. Reporters provide objective news, while columnists offer personal opinions and analysis. Reporters aim to present factual information without bias, whereas columnists use their space to

    As the Indiana Hoosiers were close to completing their meteor-like rise to the NCAA football National Championship, coach Curt Cignetti responded to a reporter’s question, answering, “This would make a good movie!” While that could indeed become a reality, trying to sell such an outlandish movie script to Hollywood before Cignetti’s arrival in Bloomington two

    While many folks enjoyed some downtime during the Christmas/New Year break, the sports scene, both nationally and locally, was in full swing. The college football playoffs and the down-to-the-wire ending of the NFL regular season were widely viewed and discussed.

    I love this time of year. North Central PA is glowing. Fall brings us many vibrant colors. Changes are in the air. It is just a shame that it gets dark at 6 pm. This totally dampens my extracurricular activities. Yes. I am still coaching golf at Lycoming. The Warriors are making me look good.

    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.

    Over the years, Jean has made the same remark many times. “Aren’t we lucky we have made so many friends and had so many good times through the involvement we’ve had with sports?” Each time, I shake my head in agreement. Sports have been a constant in my life since I was a youngster, and

    Of all the many wonderful experiences and memories this year’s Little League World Series generated for those of us on the iHeart Media radio broadcast team, the one that sticks with me the most occurred before the first pitch was thrown.

    For anyone who has ever shot baskets at a driveway or playground hoop, you know the feeling. All alone, you take a few dribbles as an imaginary clock counts down in your mind. 5-4-3-2 and just as the ‘clock’ hits 1, the ball is released skyward towards the awaiting hoop. As the ball swishes cleanly

    For Alizabeth Schuler and her South Williamsport High School softball teammates, it was like Ground Hog Day all over again. As the state championship game ended, the Mounties fell to state powerhouse Neshannock for the second year in a row.

  • Looking Back0

    Scott Lowery

    H.G. Wells’s 1895 science fiction novel Time Machine has been much scrutinized and talked about over the years. The work suggested a concept of time travel using a device to travel purposely forward or backward through time. Not being a Wells fan or proponent of the notion, I have previously never paid any attention to

    As a ten-year-old Little Leaguer, Peter Sinibaldi dreamed of someday hitting a walk-off home run just like his New York Yankees heroes were doing. Eight years later, his walk-off single gave his South Williamsport high school team a 2-1 win over Sayre, clinching the school’s second consecutive District IV championship.
