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

    The Township is still buzzing. The Loyalsock Lady Lancer hoops squad just made history. They became the first girls’ team from Lycoming County to ever win a state championship.

  • South Goes South to Launch Season0

    Scott Lowery

    It might not compare with the annual swallows return to Capistrano, which occurred March 19, just two days before the Mounties returned to Myrtle Beach, but the South Williamsport softball team’s return to the Grand Strand Tournament was made to prepare them for the demanding schedule awaiting them in the 2025 season. The team’s trip

  • Pennsylvania’s Hawks and Falcons0

    Ken Hunter

    Pennsylvania is home to a number of hawks as well as some falcons, and like a lot of others, I’m always trying to identify which one of them I’m looking at.

  • “A Night at the Opera”: Repasz Band’s Spring Concert0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    Folks of a certain age might recall “Night at the Opera” as the name of a best-selling Queen record — the one with “Bohemian Rhapsody” on it. For those a bit older, that title also invokes the Marx Brothers’ classic comedy from 1935. But for Lycoming County music fans this spring, it means another exciting

    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.

    Congratulations to Brandt Harer and Austin Johnson on bringing home state gold earned through their efforts on the wrestling mat.
