    Scott Lowery

    Even if you don’t remember it, sports fans were treated to one of the best post-game press conference speeches of all time on November 25, 2001, by Jim Mora, the then coach of the Indianapolis Colts. Following his team’s dismal five-turnover performance in a loss to the San Francisco 49ers, Mora gave a blistering tirade

  • Graver Leads Lancers In Big Moment to Help Pick Up Playoff Win Over Warrior Run0

    Brett Crossley

    The beautiful things about sports are the opportunities they provide for those of us willing to take a chance. Everything is there for a competitor. It’s often times about seeing the chance, being prepared, and meeting the challenge. For Loyalsock’s Collin Graver, those chances are, at times, far and few between. They might not be

    Congratulations to Loyalsock head basketball coach Ron Insinger on recording his 900th victory! C.I., as he is affectionately known, already holds the record for wins as a high school basketball coach in the state of Pennsylvania. He is sitting at 902 as I pen this article. I look forward to the day he cracks 1,000

    I’m not going to write much of a story this week. What can I say? For the 18th time this year, there has been another gun incident involving a school. This time 17 innocent people lost their lives. I am a proponent of the 2nd amendment. I believe that responsible, mentally stable adults have the

    A few days after Loyalsock’s basketball team achieved win number 900 for veteran coach Ron Insinger, the coaching legend was kind enough to sit down and share his thoughts on what it all means to him. “Believe it or not I can vividly remember each one from 100 on through. Reaching a lofty goal is

    Insinger and Ross Make History on a Special Day for Loyalsock Basketball0

    Brett Crossley

    Loyalsock’s Ron “CI” Insinger Gymnasium is usually buzzing with activity, but it was unusually full last Saturday as the Lancers took on Athens in the middle of the afternoon.

    OK. I was a little hesitant at first. I mean if you’ve seen them once, there’s probably no need to see them again. I totally understand a performance can change, but they’ve been using the water and confetti in the bucket since I was a kid. I wanted to send Jensen with his friends instead,

    I heard my favorite words of February this past weekend. Pitchers and catchers will be reporting for Spring Training. To me, that’s like seeing the first robin. A sure sign spring and the Boys of Summer are on their way. There’s no truth to the rumor that the Pittsburgh Pirates were the first club to

    A few weeks back, I wrote a short piece on Guy Rancourt and the Lycoming College Basketball Team. Now it didn’t win any major awards, but my story helped increase the game attendance by five. Yes. The boys continue to play well, and they are gearing up for another postseason run. But it appears that

    Tierney Pfirman has lived a small town girl’s ultimate dream.

    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.

    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. It was simply because Loyalsock year in and year out has a lot of talent. Klingerman quietly went about his business, working hard after practice and through the off-season,

    The intersection of ‘achieving goals’ and ‘it was meant to be’ can be a very precarious crossroad.

    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.
