    February’s last Saturday was overflowing with basketball competitions throughout the area. From elementary school through the collegiate level, various teams were participating in meaningful games and tournaments.

    Scott Lowery

    “You can’t tell the players without a scorecard” has long been the traditional cry of scorecard vendors inside the entrance of baseball stadiums. In recent years that same rationale could be applied to college football fans in understanding the membership of various conferences around the country.

  • Truth in Tension: What Is the Truth?0

    Tim Hartzell

    In John 18:38, Pilate asked Jesus Christ, “What is the truth?” Consider the awesome significance of that moment. Pilate, a mere mortal, was given the opportunity to ask Almighty God, face to face, a most significant question. Sadly, and much to our dismay, Pilate didn’t bother to wait for the answer. The question, “What is

  • Mountie Quest – Motivating Students to Achieve Their Dreams0

    Scott Lowery

    Coaching youth and high school athletic teams over the years has taught me many lessons, but perhaps the most important is to never doubt the aspirations of the players under your tutelage.

  • The Shark Tank0

    Scott Lowery

    Mixed martial arts (MMA) is a full-contact combat sport that allows striking and grappling, both standing and on the ground, using techniques from various combat sports and martial arts. It has limited state oversight — and has seen six deaths since 2007. It’s not professional wrestling — it’s for real! Realizing I was way out

    Dave Bellomo

    Though Rick Mahonski’s older brothers, Bob and Bill, wrestled, he did not intend to become a wrestler.

    In keeping with the virtual learning experiences so prevalent these days, let us explore one of the often-asked questions of virtuality.

    If you attended a high school basketball game during the recently completed season, you most likely would have heard student cheering sections erupt with the phrase ‘you can’t do that’ when an opposing player violated the playing rules.
