  • Local Thrower on a Quest for Olympic Gold0

    Dave Bellomo

    Rachel Fatherly discovered throwing at a relatively early age because of her exceptional strength; starting in middle school. While she also played basketball, her early success in throwing is ultimately what led to her love of all things track and field. She was attracted to being the best and set her sights on a state

  • A Recap and Big Al0

    Jamie Spencer

    First and foremost, I would like to thank all of you for the kind words. Last week’s article “Let the Kid Play” received tons of love. I had several compliments, and my perspective is now trending. I wasn’t looking to cause a stir. I only wanted to share my side of the story. A local

  • Let the Kid Play0

    Jamie Spencer

    I genuinely believe there are two sides to every story. Rumors and speculations are everywhere, and I usually refrain from commenting online. There are several buzzes within our local community. I have no comment with regards to Myrtle. What a mess. But I would like to chime in on a situation that I am close

  • Keep Your Eyes to the Skies0

    Jim Webb

    It is definitely the Most Wonderful Time of the Year. As in the Christmas classic sung by Andy Williams. I love when that song comes on the radio; it can’t help but to put some Christmas spirit in your step and a smile on your face. Give it a listen before you go shopping, to

  • A View from the Striped Shirts0

    Scott Lowery

    As the calendar flips to December this week marks the start of the high school basketball season. The action switches from the outside environs of football stadiums to the smaller indoor gymnasiums. The National Anthem and school fight songs will still be played but perhaps it might be a good idea if a recording of

  • A New Dugout for Waller0

    Scott Lowery

    The sound was unmistakable. If you heard it once, you’ve never forgotten it. Indeed, I had heard it many, many times. The sound of a baseball coming off a bat in the acoustically challenged, antiquated gymnasium of South Williamsport’s Rommelt Building is like no other. As I approached the gym doors, an accompanying sound was

  • Tennis History on the Southside0

    Scott Lowery

    To say that the 2019 South Williamsport High School girl’s tennis team had a successful season would be a bit understated. In District IV schoolgirl tennis circles, the season was indeed a historic one. Let the record show that the Mountaineer ladies squad finished the regular season undefeated, had three of the District’s top four

  • Dot Your I’s & Cross Your T’s0

    Scott Lowery

    ‘Dot your I’s and cross your T’s’ is a well-known metaphor for anyone working on a project before completion. It’s only good common sense to double-check things before a finished product is put forth for public consumption. If things went as anticipated last week, there will be a great deal of attention paid to what

  • Jim Roth Calling0

    Scott Lowery

    In last week’s column, I expressed the opinion that it would prove interesting to be ‘a fly on the wall’ in those locker rooms of the upcoming opponents on Southern Columbia’s remaining 2019 schedule. The statement was a part of my question as to what does a coach say to his team in the practice

  • Coach Speak0

    Scott Lowery

    Anyone who has glanced at a calendar recently readily knows that fall is officially upon us. What might not be as obvious is the realization that this weekend will mark the beginning of the second half of the high school football season. The first five weekends of the schoolboy season have passed by without much

  • The More Things Change, the More They Should Have Stayed the Same0

    Jim Webb

    It’s hard to believe that when Montoursville and Loyalsock kick it off this Friday night, we’ll be five weeks into the high school football regular season. I don’t know which one of these two things seem more out of bounds. That we’re halfway thru the PIAA High School football season and the calendar still reads

    Jim Webb

    Thank you to everyone that has reached out to share a special story about Father John Manno. It’s amazing how many lives he affected and touched in a most positive way. There is no doubt in my mind he will continue to do the Lord’s work through all of us. A special thank you to

    A Mountain Almost Climbed0

    Scott Lowery

    For even the most skilled climbers, scaling a mountain is a laborious task. The ascent is slow and calculated, one step at a time, not looking back at where you’ve been but giving full concentration to the summit that lay ahead. But even for a Mountaineer, that zenith is often allusive. The South Williamsport High

    The greatest gift a child can give his Father is a heartfelt hug and an I love you. This followed by thanks Dad, for everything you do. This also holds true for everyone that provides fatherly love and guidance in a young person’s life. A Father’s Love and guidance has never been more important. A

  • Making the Calls0

    Scott Lowery

    As the room began to fill, the noise level increased incrementally. Soon the conversations taking place all across the room melted into one big buzz as the ‘war stories’ of the games they had officiated elicited smiles, laughter and an occasional contradiction to what was being discussed. The occasion was the annual end-of-the-year gathering of

  • Competition0

    Scott Lowery

    As defined by Webster, it is “1) the effort of two or more parties acting independently to secure the business of a third party by offering the best favorable terms or 2) a contest between rivals.” Both definitions apply to the world of sports and now with the District Four baseball and softball playoffs underway

  • PIAA – PCIAA – or PCCIAA Championships?0

    Paul Petcavage

    The PIAA basketball championships are now over for another year, and again come the screams to “level the playing field.” “Something has to be done to contain the ‘non-boundary’ schools from adding to their impressive cache of championships.” It’s just not fair! Give me a break! Let’s just give everyone a gold medal and be

  • Williamsport Swimmers Make the Most of Two-Day Swimming and Diving Championships at Bucknell0

    Brett Crossley

    A small group of swimmers, decked out in red and white, sat together after the prelims of the PIAA Swimming and Diving Championships. The group sat together, joked, tried to work on British accents, and enjoyed every second of the moment. Williamsport’s young crop of swimmers adjusted after a tough first day in the pool.

    Montoursville’s Sam Jordan Finishes Fourth in 100 Back at the PIAA Swimming and Diving Championships0

    Brett Crossley

    On the final day of his high school swimming career, Montoursville’s Sam Jordan made a statement. Jordan entered the event as the second-best backstroke swimmer in Districts 4, but he proved to be much more than that as he posted a 52.91 at the PIAA Swimming and Diving Championships. The time, which was nearly a

    Mallory Pardoe touched the wall, quickly looked up as her teammate Elisa Dinicola jumped into the water, and simply waited as the rest of the 400 free relay was completed. Her teammates, Isabelle Griswold, and Lydia Smith along with Dinicola excelled through the race, taking on the best teams District 2 had to offer. When

  • Spring Sports on the Horizon0

    Scott Lowery

    Recently, a cartoon appeared on Facebook. It depicted a shivering groundhog holding up a sign stating, “I lied.” Imagine the nation’s ‘most followed weather prognosticator’ admitting he falsely misled us — and this admission coming on the heels of George Washington’s birthday — the man who couldn’t tell a lie! That false prophecy was on

    Even in death, Gerry Ayers marched to the beat of his own drum. Or maybe a better way to say it is that he drove to the sound of his own music. He was truly one of the good guys that just had a little different approach to life than most, or maybe I should

    As the final seconds ticked off the scoreboard clock, the most-played college rivalry in the nation was about to conclude its 154th game. It was a big deal.

    Brett Crossley

    At the beginning of the season, Ben Lewis set goals for himself, his team, and the season he was about to embark on with the Sullivan County boys’ soccer team. At the beginning of the season, those goals seemed far off as practices started to open. Last Thursday night, as Sullivan County attempted to advance

    Take a drive on Route 54 through Montgomery. You’ll not encounter a red traffic light to impede your journey. However, the lack of such operational hardware may cause you to miss one of the community’s crown jewels tucked away along the roadway, similar to a family heirloom that you know is valuable, but rarely trot
