When Kyreek Bradshaw talks, Mike Pearson intently listens. He knows wisdom likely will be pouring out. Pearson is the Williamsport coach but he understands leaders come from all ages and roles. He also realizes, he has a great one when it comes to his senior wide receiver/cornerback. “Kyreek is a really cool person. When we […]

One could try diagnosing exactly when and how the Williamsport defense started rediscovering its early season identity and becoming a nasty, stifling unit again. Really, though, it’s not about strategy or scheme, so good luck with that. There’s really no secret formula.

Several Warrior Run seniors started as freshmen when the team finished 0-9. Really, though, their football journeys began well before that. Pretty much as soon as they started wearing shoulder pads, these seniors have played together. Along the way, they have climbed the success ladder, helping Warrior Run improve its win total now three straight […]

1. Lewisburg (8-1): If Lewisburg can win tonight it would produce its best regular since its 2010 Class AA state semifinal season when it finished the year 14-1. It’s been an impressive turnaround for a team which went 2-9 two years ago. 2. Muncy (8-1): Both Landyn Wommer and Austin Johnson averaging more than 15 […]

Rivalry background: This series during the 2000s has been defined by one-sided streaks. While Hughesville holds a 16-7 advantage, Muncy has won the last five straight games, with Hughesville’s last victory coming in 2017.

The Bulldogs can clinch that berth with a victory and could be in an ornery mood after losing a 27-19 showdown against Scranton Prep […]

Scranton Prep PPG—31.5, PPA—15.1 Scranton Prep notes: Like Jersey Shore, Scranton Prep (7-1) features an excellent tradition. The Cavaliers have captured three straight District 2 championships and are the state’s third-ranked Class AAA team after going 12-2 and reaching the state quarterfinals a year ago. Prep has played two teams out of state, losing to […]

TURBOTVILLE—Jalil Coates often woke up before sunrise last summer and started working. Several Loyalsock teammates followed similar routines. Not many willingly want to wake up that early and start grinding. But it’s done with big goals in mind. And when all that sacrifice pays off what a rewarding feeling it provides. Coates and the Lancers […]

Warrior Run at North Penn-Mansfield Warrior Run (4-1) lost its first game last week, but remains in a strong spot, setting at second in the District 4 Class AA playoff standings.
