To nobody’s surprise, Stroudsburg quarterback Robert Bennie was chosen as the Mountain Valley Conference MVP in a unanimous vote by the conference coaches. Really, there is only one problem I have with the All-MVC team and it’s a big one. How East Stroudsburg North wide receiver Abdul Murphy didn’t make the first team is an [...]
Former Pocono Mountain East standout Kraidon Woods is on the move again, with Drake University in Iowa his next stop. Woods had sat out last season after transferring to Binghamton, but the instability there most likely had him looking at other options. I’ll be in touch with him soon hopefully to find out for sure.

I just saw the news I was hoping wouldn’t come – Illinois junior and former East Stroudsburg South All-State tackle Corey Lewis tore an anterior cruciate ligament in the Fighting Illini’s spring game Saturday and will most likely miss the upcoming season. I had known something was wrong late Saturday night when I traded some [...]
Here’s a well-told story about an absolute tragedy. It took me about 10 minutes to read and was well worth the time. Excellent job by the writer of capturing all sides of the story and he told it flawlessly. There’s nothing I thought he missed.
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 [...]
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 [...]
While the boys soccer season came to an end Tuesday, the football playoffs are in full swing and two area teams came up big while one did just the opposite. East Stroudsburg South delivered a swift knockout blow to Liberty, the defending PIAA Class AAAA champs, with a 49-21 victory Friday night in the District [...]

I’ve once again lapsed in my blogging. And because I’ve apologized about this in the past I’m now issuing a standard, ‘I’m sorry for ignoring my blog, please forgive me and let’s move on’ apology from here on out. Hopefully this will be the only time I use it. On the local scene, lots of [...]
Unlike some sports writers I know, I actually played sports so I know what it’s like to be yelled at by someone who is not my parent or a relative. I’ve had coaches in my face screaming at me for throwing to the wrong base, blocking in the back or fouling someone on a 3-pointer. [...]
