  • The Final Four0

    Scott Lowery

    It was not the way they had hoped their softball season would end. Two walks, a misplayed infield fly rule, leading to a seeing-eye outfield single plating two sixth-inning tying runs, as the game momentum switched and carried visiting Bucktail to an eight-inning 8-4 win over South Williamsport on the Mounties Senior day. It was

    Joseph W. Smith III

    In a 1991 Book-of-the-Month Club survey, Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird ranked second only to the Bible as “making a difference in people’s lives.” According to Lee biographer Charles Shields — who also provided the above statistic — the book still draws a million readers every year.
