The ‘newspaper’ answer to the question provided the driving impetus for the recent announcement that longtime Williamsport Sun-Gazette sports reporter Chris Masse is among 11 new members of the West Branch Valley Sports Hall of Fame, who will be formally inducted
Summer and fall can stake their claim as road trip season, and even devoted drivers may admit that winter is generally a less desirable time to take to the open road.

A few years ago, as Major League Baseball’s September was winding down, a friend who is a die-hard Yankees fan proclaimed, “That’s it, the season is over,” as his beloved pin-strippers were eliminated from playoff contention.

It was a sun-splashed, gorgeous Norman Rockwell-type September Saturday afternoon, uniquely perfect for college football.
