    Congratulations to the Montoursville Warriors. The 2025 baseball team had an unforgettable season. They finished with a 20-5 record: a PIAA District IV chip and a trip to the PIAA AAAA state finals. The Warriors never backed down. They had their opportunities but were nipped 5-4 by a mighty Indiana, PA squad with several Division

    Jim Webb

    My column was all but penned out in my mind; it was to be a celebration of Manager Tom O’Malley’s Lady Mountie softballers and Manager Jeremy Eck’s Montoursville Warrior baseballers. My hope was both won their way onto the cover as PIAA state champion. It was to be a lead-up for our June 25th cover,

    Props to the Montoursville Warriors on a fantastic season. They are heading to the 4A PIAA State Championship. The outcome will be determined by the time we go to print. But win or lose. These guys are rock stars. We are so dang proud. I have many ties to their coaches and players. I hope

  • Girls on the Run at the PIAA State Track & Field Championships0

    Steph Noviello

    I know that I don’t delve into sports very often, but sometimes things just play out that way (pun intended). The fact that I regularly joke about not running unless I’m being chased makes this even more ironic. But let’s ignore all that and talk about Kylie Temple and the amazing year that she has

    Perhaps the novelty has begun to waiver a bit once the reality of winning a state championship has sunk into the players and coaches of the Loyalsock Township state champion girls’ basketball team, but their accomplishment made school and District IV history and the smiles on their faces and pride in their hearts remain as

    As all those taxpayers’ envelopes have been dropped in the mail on the way to fund Uncle Sam’s coffers, I extend my belated congratulations to the Loyalsock Lady Lancers on their well-earned run to the PIAA AAA state championship. The team’s historic triumph is a testament to the dividends that can be accrued via hard

    The smiles on the faces of the Loyalsock Lady Lancers as they take a bite out of the gold medal says it all.

    What a month of March it has been. From the well above average temperatures to the full moon, red moon, and lunar eclipse to the great accomplishments by local area athletes. March came in like a lion and went out like a lion for some very talented teenagers. When you reach the last column of

    A reminder that these articles are submitted on Friday. So, I have no clue how the Lady Lancers faired in their PIAA AAA State Semifinal against IMHOTEP. My fingers are crossed, and I am hoping they find a way to advance to Hershey. That would be fantastic. But regardless of what happens — I am

    Decades ago, the City of Williamsport conducted a public contest inviting entries seeking to identify a new promotional slogan. Based upon its uniqueness as the Birthplace of Little League and the importance baseball has played in its history, I decided to enter the contest, submitting my suggestion, “The Little League City with a Big League

    Well, another wrestling season is in the books, and while Zoe Furman didn’t take the top prize, she, her family, and girls’ wrestling did Montgomery proud.

  • Twice as Nice for Johnson & Harer0

    Scott Lowery

    ‘Been there, done that’ is a common expression most often uttered by individuals who have accomplished a task and, sometimes out of boredom or disinterest, choose not to continue down the same path. Muncy’s Austin Johnson and Montgomery’s Brandt Harer have certainly mastered the four-word phrase, but it has only been the opponents they have

    Among the proverbs often kicked around is one traced back to Thomas Fuller in 1732 pertaining to the arrival of March weather. Referring to the month as coming in like a lion and departing as a lamb, it depicts a cold, windy, snowy start, eventually giving way to glimpses of spring’s coming beauty and warmth.

    March is a beautiful month for many reasons. I am getting excited to fish. The golf season is here, and I will devote as much time to watching as much basketball as I possibly can. MADNESS baby. NBA. College. High School. It doesn’t matter. I even get stoked when I spot a few kids hooping

    It was a lesson learned long ago when my interest in journalism was in its infancy. A scribe well-versed in the occupation passed on his warning – ‘If you ever become a columnist, don’t include your personal opinions regarding politics or religion in what you write.’ That advice is spot-on, as those of you who

    South Williamsport’s three-peat District IV championship titles and deep runs into the PIAA state softball playoffs, including last year’s appearance in the AA state championship game, have continually raised the expectations of Lady Mounties fans.

    That about sums it up! But if you’re not into equations, perhaps an explanation is due. Regardless of the back-to-school schedules of individual school districts and the curriculums involved, many students have begun the task of mastering mystifying mathematical tasks. However, for Wellsboro’s Craig West, solving the above-noted mystery has been top-of-mind since long before
