Congratulations to the 20 teams who made it all the way to Williamsport for the 2024 Little League World Series.

I’m guessing that the two most popular species being hunted in Pennsylvania are white-tailed deer, and likely, turkeys are next in line. As we begin to move towards fall, a lot of talks with my hunting friends involve questions about deer antler sightings and how many young turkeys and gobblers we are seeing. I’ll be
We all know it’s not a good idea to procrastinate. In fact, there are rarely any occasions when it is a good idea to wait until the very last minute to do what you know simply has to be done. The benefits of accomplishing tasks early far outweigh any poor excuses for delaying the tasks
August 5th began the PIAA heat acclimatization process for high school football programs across the state, with the first official day of practice set for next Monday. While players and coaches prepare for the upcoming season under the August sun, area athletic directors working in more comfortable indoor surroundings also feel the heat. Unlike the
Congratulations to my friends at West End. Our 16u All-Stars are heading to Branson, Missouri, for the Babe Ruth World Series on August 8th. They will compete against the galaxy’s best.

Journey Bank Ballpark at Bowman Field was the place to be during the MLB Draft League’s first half.
