Connecticut and Chicago battle under the Mohegan Sun once again

After a classic Game 1, the Chicago Sky and Connecticut Sun will meet again on Thursday at 8 p.m. ET at Mohegan Sun Arena. Game 1 ended with the Sky coming out victorious in double overtime, winning 101-95. What can Chicago do to put the Sun in a 0-2 hole and what can the Sun do to even the series?

Chicago has continued to shock the WNBA world with performances we were expecting all season long. It appears the team is beginning to reach the potential that had many calling this team a “super team” back in late January. They’ve now won three-straight playoff games and are looking at going 2-0 against the No. 1 seed.

It’ll be easier said than done however, with Chicago having a tough assignment beating the Jonquel Jones-led Sun in back-to-back games. They’ll need another great performance from Candace Parker and the other bigs on the team as the Sun love to pack the paint and play bully ball. Expect a very physical game and lots of buckets near the rim.

Turnovers have been the Achilles heel for the Sky in the James Wade era and Game 1 was no exception. Chicago had 20 turnovers compared to Connecticut’s 12. For the Sky to go up 2-0, they’ll have to do a better job of taking care of the ball.

The Connecticut Sun have been a dominant team all season long, but Chicago has given them headaches. The Sun have lost against the Sky three out of the four times they’ve played each other.

It’ll be interesting to see how the Sun respond in the first quarter. They have to get out to an early lead and set the tone for this game. That’s something they failed to do in Game 1 where…

This Eugene, Oregon Restaurant Serves Up Sushi Burritos to Die For

[]sushi burritos arranged with dipping sauceImage via / Facebook / SūBó

Just hearing the word sushi makes me instantly start to salivate. Sure, sushi may not be for everyone, but for myself, I’m hooked. I simply can’t get enough. The first time I saw a sushi burrito in my newsfeed on Facebook, which is commonly referred to as a Sushito, I knew I had to have one of these bad boys. Enter SūBó Sushi Burritos, a small family-owned chain of sushi restaurants where you can nosh on a gourmet nori-wrapped treat and still stay casual.

Pittston Area Football Roundup: Patriots post shutout on Homecoming Night

YATESVILLE – Things went rather well for Pittston Area in the first half Friday night.

Even a mishap turned into a touchdown.

The situation changed quite a bit in the second half, but not enough to put a three-touchdown advantage in danger against an opponent struggling all season to find the end zone.

Running back Harry Pugliese scored all three touchdowns, the last when he picked up an errant shotgun snap and ran 12 yards for a score, as the Patriots defeated Nanticoke, 21-0, on a Homecoming Night interdivisional game between Wyoming Valley Conference football teams.

Pittston Area improved to 2-4 while Nanticoke Area fell to 1-5.

Nanticoke used a 17-play drive to move 84 yards from its 4to the Pittston Area 12 before Robby Barbieri’s interception ended the threat.

The Trojans had three shots in Patriots territory in the second half, including taking over on the Patriots 24 on one possession, but the Pittston Area defense posted the shutout.

“We just couldn’t punch it in,” Nanticoke Area coach Ron Bruza said. “We have a young team

with a good nucleus, but that’s not an excuse. We’re already in Week Six and mental mistakes at the wrong time are just hurting us.”

Pittston Area looked like it was going to win with ease early on. Quarterback Drew DeLucca, who missed last week’s game with Wilkes-Barre Area with an injury, hit on passes of 22 and 16 yards to receiver Kevin Lockett on the Patriots’ first two plays from scrimmage. Pugliese took a pitch and ran around left end for a 20-yard score on the fourth play.

Then, after a Nanticoke punt, Pugliese scored on a 77-yard run on Pittston Area’s first play to make it 14-0 at 7:37 of…

Lamont marks start of CT sports betting with his first ever wagers

UNCASVILLE — Gov. Ned Lamont ushered in the next step in legalized gambling in Connecticut Thursday, making the state’s first legal sports wager with a $50 bet for the Connecticut Sun basketball team to beat the Chicago Sky.

After casting his bet at Mohegan Sun, the governor placed two $20 wagers at Foxwoods, picking the Yankees to defeat the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to top the New England Patriots on Sunday.

Both tribal casinos opened temporary sportsbooks on Thursday for in-person gambling, weeks after the state Department of Consumer Protection approved licenses for sports betting.

Lamont, who grew up a Yankees fan, said it was his first time ever betting on sports and that he was a “safe man.” With the exception of the Yankees, all of the teams the governor bet on were favored to win, though Lamont said he also bet on each of his teams to cover the spread.

“I bet my heart, I don’t know what the odds are,” Lamont said at Foxwoods.

If the Sun win, Lamont will receive $46.50 plus the $50 for a total of $96.50, a Mohegan official said. Foxwoods did not say what the governor’s payout would be for his bets.

A larger rollout…

Stockbridge-Munsees focus on correcting historical record through collaborations with Berkshire institutions

SHEFFIELD — The Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohicans wants you to know their story. And they want to be the ones telling it to you. 

Their latest effort, “The Mohican Journey: Homelands, History and Hope,” an outdoor exhibit on display through Monday, Oct. 11, is the result of a nearly yearllong collaboration of the Stockbridge-Munsee community, the Sheffield Historical Society and the art department at Mount Everett Regional School.

If You Go

“The Mohican Journey: Homelands, History and Hope”

What: An interactive, multimedia exhibit that breaks down the history of the Muh-he-con-ne-ok, the “people of the waters that neve stand still.”

When: 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Oct. 2, 3, 9, 10 and 11

Where: Sheffield Historical Society, 159 Main St., Sheffield

Information: 413-229-2694, sheffieldhistory.weebly.com

“Exhibits like [Sheffield’s] allow us to be able to tell our history our way and in truth. There is no sugar-coating history in Indigenous history. Removal happened. Genocide happened. Loss of language, tradition and culture happened,” said Heather Bruegl, former director of Cultural Affairs for the Stockbridge-Munsees, in an email to The Eagle.

“The Mohican Journey,” is one of four Berkshire exhibits on display regarding the Stockbridge Mohicans. Three other exhibits about the Stockbridge-Munsees include: The Berkshire Museum’s “Muh-he-con-ne-ok: The People of the Waters That Are Never Still,” an exhibit curated by the Stockbridge-Munsee community; “Deeds of our Past: Stockbridge Indian Lands and Colonial Bonds,” an exhibit of biographies and translations of deeds at the Stockbridge Library; and “Mohican Miles,” at the Mission House Museum. 

In their own words: Stockbridge-Munsees share past. present and future in 'Muh-he-con-ne-ok: People of the Waters That Are Never Still'

The reliance on local organizations with an open mind is the kind of partnership that ensures, “the outcome accurately reflects Stockbridge-Munsees’ voice,”  said Bonney…

Feds Still Offering $5,000 Reward for Broome County Eagle Killer

Investigators are continuing their effort to find the person who fatally shot a bald eagle while it was in a tree north of Binghamton.

A U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service spokeswoman said the special agent handling the case of last spring’s killing of the eagle in the town of Nanticoke has not received “any credible leads.”

The bird apparently had been in a tree near 1022 Nanticoke Road when someone shot it on April 3. Investigators determined the eagle died as the result of a gunshot wound sustained from a high-caliber rifle projectile.

A reward of up to $5,000 was posted for information leading to those responsible for the eagle’s death.

People with information about the shooting may contact Fish and Wildlife Service special agent Ryan Bessey at (716) 691-3635.

Bald eagles are federally protected by Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. Violators could face fines of up to $100,000 and up to one year in prison.
