GAMEFACE: Game of the Week, 1-North Pocono at Pittston Area

Things couldn’t have gone better for North Pocono and Pittston Area in Week 1 of the high school football season.

They get little time to revel in their success.

After North Pocono started with a dominant win over Nanticoke Area and Pittston Area rolled past Mid Valley, the teams will go head-to-head to highlight the second weekend of games in District 2.

North Pocono (1-0) plays at Pittston Area (1-0) on Friday in a nonconference clash at 7 p.m. at Charley Trippi Stadium.

“We were able to take care of our business last week, and it was a home game, and we leaned on our fundamentals, played fast and played physical, and got all those first-game jitters out,” North Pocono linebacker Evan Wolff said. “We experienced that varsity atmosphere. We have to be prepared mentally and physically again this week.

“They had a dominant game, too. They were flying off the ball and very physical. We know it will be a tough atmosphere at their home field, so we have to be ready for a tough game.”

North Pocono entered this season with high expectations. The Trojans have an experienced group of players and are ranked No. 1 in The Times-Tribune High School Football Poll.

Still, with all of the leadership and standout players, there is always trepidation ahead of the first game. The Trojans erased any doubt by steamrolling to a 56-0 win over Nanticoke Area.

North Pocono used an overpowering effort from its offensive and defensive lines and explosive plays to pile up 334 yards rushing, while limiting Nanticoke Area to 14 yards on the ground.

Joe Briskie, who missed the better part of the 2024 season, made the most of his opportunities. He ran for 96 yards on eight carries and scored a touchdown.

6 Best Natural Wonders To Visit In Ohio This Year

Ohio might not always be the first place that comes to mind for breathtaking scenery, but the Buckeye State is home to some truly spectacular natural wonders. From the sandstone cliffs and waterfalls of Hocking Hills to the underground beauty of the Ohio Caverns, the state offers landscapes as diverse as any in the Midwest. Here are the six captivating natural wonders that are worth exploring in Ohio.

Hocking Hills State Park

Hocking Hills State Park, tucked into the scenic landscapes of Hocking County, is one of the state’s most beloved outdoor destinations. The park is home to over 25 miles of trails that wind through dramatic cliffs, waterfalls, and striking recess caves. Its seven unique hiking areas—Ash Cave, Cantwell Cliffs, Cedar Falls, Conkle’s Hollow, Old Man’s Cave, Rock House, and Whispering Cave—offer a variety of experiences for both casual walkers and seasoned explorers. Trails remain open year-round from dawn to dusk, allowing visitors to enjoy the area’s beauty in every season. Rich in Native American history, the park is named after the Hockhocking River, a term from the Delaware and Shawnee languages meaning “bottle river.”

Visitors can extend their stay with a wide range of accommodations, from more than 200 campsites to modern amenities at the Hocking Hills State Park Lodge, which features a restaurant, pools, and cozy guest rooms. Rustic “hike-in” tent sites, group camping areas, and privately owned cabins nearby add even more lodging options for adventurers. The best time to visit is in autumn, when vibrant foliage paints the cliffs and valleys, though spring’s waterfalls and winter’s frozen landscapes are equally breathtaking.

USACE and Stockbridge-Munsee Community Collaborate to Improve Fish Passage in Wisconsin Watershed

Fish Biologist Alex Catalano and Biologist Andrew Miller, with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Chicago District, recently joined forces with the Stockbridge-Munsee Community (SMC) Ecology Department to evaluate the impact of road culverts on Aquatic Organism Passage (AOP) in the West Branch of the Red River near Bowler, Wisconsin. The collaborative effort, combining local ecological knowledge and federal technical expertise, aims to determine whether two culverts are restricting fish movement — and if so, prioritize solutions that improve connectivity across the watershed.

Culverts can unintentionally block fish from accessing upstream habitats needed for feeding, spawning, and seeking refuge from heat and predators. These barriers can severely affect fish populations and reduce the overall health and resilience of aquatic ecosystems.

To monitor fish passage, the team employed electrofishing to safely capture Brook Trout and White Suckers, both selected due to their ability to make large migrations.

“Brook Trout are also a culturally and recreationally important species to the SMC and local community,” Catalano says.

The fish were then implanted with Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tags—small microchips similar to those used to identify pets—which allow researchers to track their movement through the stream system.

Antennas were installed upstream and downstream of the culverts to detect PIT-tagged fish as they pass through. In addition to internal PIT tags, fish were also externally tagged to make them identifiable to anglers.

Data collected from this study will help identify which culverts in the West Branch Red River Watershed are most in need of replacement or redesign. The ultimate goal is to reconnect fragmented habitat to sustain fish populations faced with increasing threats.

Although this is USACE, Chicago District’s first study in the area, similar studies are being conducted involving culvert removals by other state and federal agencies.

Joining Mohican Kayakers for a float

It was an invitation I could not refuse:

“Our little kayak group is doing Greer to Brinkhaven Saturday,” Jay Maul said in a text message. “You should join us! KC wants to do (in total) Bellville to Coshocton.”

KC being K.C. Kurtz of Bellville. The group being the Mohican Kayakers, an offshoot of a hiking group known as the Mohican Experts.

I was honored that, as a canoe devotee, a kayak-centric group would invite me to join them. Especially knowing I’d probably spend the entire 5.5-mile float talking their ears off about Mohican River lore.

I also was long overdue for a river float.

The Mohican Kayakers gather for a group shot at the conclusion of our Aug. 23 paddle from Greer to the Bridge of Dreams on the Mohican River.

The Mohican Kayakers gather for a group shot at the conclusion of our Aug. 23 paddle from Greer to the Bridge of Dreams on the Mohican River.

Plus it would give me an opportunity to write a column about one of my favorite Mohican day trips − Greer to Brinkhaven.

Remote stretches of the Mohican off their own sport

As I’ve pointed out on many occasions, there are two Mohicans. One is served by liveries where, on a summer day, you’ll find canoes, kayaks, rafts and tubes engaged in an aquatic version of bumper cars. On the other Mohican − upstream and downstream of the Loudonville corridor − people with their own watercraft can find solitude, natural beauty and buried treasure. Or buried tires.

On the remote stretches of the river, you’ll also find folks like the Mohican Kayakers.

Which makes the lower Mohican and upper Walhonding attractive from Greer to Mohawk Dam. The section from Greer to Brinkhaven is well-suited for casual paddling because of its exceptional public access.

There’s plenty of room to park…

‘Antagonistic’ WNBA wants to buy Sun for cheap and handpick new city over Boston (report)

The WNBA has made it no secret that it wasn’t happy about a proposed deal that would move the Connecticut Sun to Boston.

According to ESPN, the Sun’s attempt to sell the team is even messier behind the scenes.

In an expansive story published Tuesday, ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne and Alexa Philippou described how the WNBA has meddled with the Mohegan Tribe’s attempts to sell its franchise.

The Mohegan Tribe, which has owned the team 2003, reportedly feels like the WNBA will only allow them to sell the team to a “a market of their choosing at a value of their choosing.”

ESPN reports that the league offered to buy the Sun for a price tag of $250 million and waive the relocation fee so it could handpick its preferred destination for the franchise. That figure is dwarfed by the reported $325 million offered by Celtics minority owner Steve Pagliuca to move the team to Boston.

ESPN also reports that the Mohegan Tribe is “frustrated” and feels the league has become “antagonistic” about the sale process after declining an early bid from Cleveland, one of the WNBA’s preferred destinations for a new team.

When news of Pagliuca’s bid to buy the Sun went public, the WNBA responded with a statement that was critical of Boston as a destination. The league noted that the city did not apply for a team as part of the most recent expansion process.

That failure to submit an expansion bid reportedly remains a major issue with the WNBA.

Instead, the league reportedly wants Boston to wait in line for a new expansion team – and to work with new Celtics owner Bill Chisholm instead of Pagliuca when that happens.
