Calendars throughout the area denoted nothing special about March 18. However, at one anxious building on Penn Street in Williamsport, that third Friday in March was indeed a red-letter day. At about the same time, St. John Neumann Regional Academy graduate Kevin Anderson was taking the floor with his Delaware Blue Hens against Villanova in
I appreciate all the love. This experience has been fun. I am so proud of my guys. They made it to Hershey. Although, we came up a tad short. We left everything out on the court. Bishop Canevan was the real deal. They were as good as advertised. Please let me soak this in. I

Piper Minier’s shot bounced tantalizingly on the rim two or three times before it dropped through the netting as a large South Williamsport rooting contingent let out a roar of approval. In what has been a miraculous season for the Lady Mountaineers basketball team, it seemed a moment when good fortunes would once again shine
Finally, the daytime temperatures are reaching into the 50s and 60s, we have seen the last of the late winter snows (hopefully!), and it’s time to get outside and tackle a few springtime chores.
