Girls’ Soccer Gets Stay of Execution
When the PIAA Board of Directors voted 22-7 in July to move all girls’ soccer to the fall, Hershey Athletic Director and District 3 chairman Sam Elias was vacationing at Disney World. And although, at the time, he said the decision to move the sport sooner rather than later was probably the right thing to do, he was having a […]
Alwine At UVA
This past week was rather uneventful. It was basically filled with all school and soccer, which is the way life around here normally is. It’s mid-term time so obviously people have been hitting the books pretty hard, but we still find time to take some breaks. On Tuesday, the men’s soccer team beat Longwood 2-0. Sometimes their games are a […]
LD Looks to Rebound
This is not the way Rob Klock wanted to see his football team rebound from its hardfought but eventual lopsided loss to Bishop McDevitt two weeks ago. While he said he was proud of the way the Falcons battled, he wanted them to clean up the mistakes that shortened the field for the Crusaders. Last Friday, Oct. 9, two fumbles […]

Milton Hershey Outlasts Susquenita in Overtime
Susquenita’s Oct. 9 loss against Milton Hershey (3-3-0) is proof that the early bird doesn’t always catch the worm. Susquenita’s score on its first possession of the game put it ahead, but it was unable to match Milton Hershey’s final touchdown in overtime, ending the game with a score of 25-22. The first quarter began with a Susquenita touchdown. Blackhawk […]
Palmyra, Hershey Booters Roll On; LD Struggling
It was a pretty even and entertaining match until Andrew Bellis scored 19:23 into Thursday’s Mid-Penn Conference Keystone Division battle between Hershey and Lower Dauphin. After that, it was all Hershey and all Bellis, who scored all three goals in a 3-1 win that dropped Lower Dauphin to .500 at 6-6-2 and put all kinds of pressure on the Falcons […]
