    Brett Crossley

    When Bam Brima joined Loyalsock’s basketball team, he was already behind after a highly successful season on the gridiron. Brima was described by most coaches and fans as raw, but once polished could be a key part of the team. Brima might have exceeded expectations in how fast he has found his spot within the

    Tricks, skullduggery sleight of hand — whatever you may choose to call it, as the old saying goes “all is fair in love and war.” Competitive combatants over the years have used all sorts of actions to gain an advantage, real or imagined, over their opponents.

    Brett Crossley

    One year ago Mitchell Klingerman was sitting on the bench during a Loyalsock basketball game wishing for a chance to play. It wasn’t because of skills.

    In recent weeks there has been much reported regarding the collegiate recruitment process. A lot of it has been negative — usually centering on ‘under the table’ payments or other questionable ‘perks’ to lure talented individuals to specific schools. Throughout all of these proceedings, I don’t ever recall a recruit being swayed by the presence
