District basketball madness

This isn’t the first time it happened and it certainly won’t be the last. Thanks to Mother Nature, Saturday is going to be one interesting day. On top of the three games featuring local teams scheduled for tomorrow, the four teams that were supposed to play today will now be playing tomorrow. So that means I’ll [...]

Remembering Westbrook

By Joe Miegoc | Published: February 24, 2010 | 0 Comments
This day was inevitable. Ever since he went down with his second concussion in as many games, Eagles fan knew that Brian Westbrook’s days with the Eagles were numbered. A $7.5-million salary for 2010 only cemented that. Make no mistake, Westbrook was one of the franchise’s best players. Yes, he was a bit surly, and, yes, [...]

Back again

I’ve returned with some quick thoughts. Like always, I’ll start local, with two intriguing matchups in the Mountain Valley Conference boys and girls basketball finals Friday. The girls game, which tips at 6 p.m. at Pleasant Valley, pits defending MVC champion Pocono Mountain West against East Stroudsburg South, which topped the Panthers in both regular-season meetings [...]

This and that

With all this wonderful weather (or non-weather I guess) coming in and schedules being juggled I thought this would be a good time to catch up on a few things. First off, congratulations to East Stroudsburg South’s Carly Gallagher, who etched her name in two more categories Tuesday night. With a season-high 27 points against Pocono [...]

Good news for Pocono East, Pocono West

By Joe Miegoc | Published: January 21, 2010 | 0 Comments
Liberty, one team that could stand in the way of Pocono Mountain East and Pocono Mountain West in the hunt for the District 11 Class AAAA boys basketball title, took a serious hit to its championship aspirations Thursday. The Hurricanes learned they will be without standout forward Anthony Gonzalez, who will miss the rest of the [...]

A few quick thoughts

By Joe Miegoc | Published: January 20, 2010 | 0 Comments
I couldn’t help be impressed by Pocono Mountain West in its win over rival Pocono Mountain East on Tuesday. The Panthers struggled in the first quarter, trailing 17-11, and Brad Pensyl knew it. The veteran coach told his kids they needed to step up their defense or it would be a long night. That’s just [...]

Real quick

I just got back from Pius X’s boys basketball game against Marian Catholic. The Royals fell 40-32, struggling from the floor, but they had the deficit trimmed to one early in the fourth quarter before the Colts pulled away. Look in Friday’s Pocono Record for a boys basketball notebook, where I’ll lead with Pius and [...]

What now?

I figured I’d let the Eagles’ latest embarrassing loss, a 34-14 whoopin’ from the Cowboys on Saturday, sink in for a few days before I offer my two cents. It was a pitiful game from the start. Philly let Dallas drive right down the field on the game’s first possession, showing a Swiss cheese defense that [...]

So I was wrong….really wrong

By Joe Miegoc | Published: January 7, 2010 | 0 Comments
Who knew that the Eagles would come out and play their worst game of the season last week in Dallas? And it wasn’t just the players. The offensive and defensive game plan was bland (and that’s being kind) from the first snap and it never got any better (one of my biggest criticisms of Andy [...]

Eagles-Cowboys keys

By Joe Miegoc | Published: January 3, 2010 | 0 Comments
Someone told me I’ve been slacking on my blogging (that sounds familiar doesn’t it?) so I figured I once and for all best get my act together. And since this is my blog I have creative control over it and can write about pretty much anything I want. Eagles, Phillies, NASCAR, high school sports, ESU [...]
