NANTICOKE — The rare blue supermoon peaked over the Nanticoke treeline with the most inopportune timing. It was an ominous — if not too on the nose — sign that an upset victory over a football powerhouse might not come as easy for the upstart Trojans.

Disregarding any cosmic forces, the numbers looked fortuitous for the Nanticoke Area defense. After all, Old Forge had less than two minutes to travel more than four-fifths of the field for a touchdown. The Trojans’ defense held the Blue Devils to only three first downs, and Old Forge’s total yards hadn’t yet eclipsed the century mark.

Suddenly, an uncharacteristically sputtering Old Forge team suddenly seemed like the Old Forge of yore. The Blue Devils marched down the field with ease for a winning touchdown and extra point just as the scoreboard expired.

Nanticoke Area fell to Old Forge 14-13 in a mystifying final two minutes on Friday night.

“Being young is great because they are not smart enough to be worried and they’re not intimidated,” Old Forge coach Mike Schuback said. “That’s a heck of a football team they have over there in Nanticoke. They are big. They are physical.”

TJ DiMattia hit Joe Granko on a 9-yard quick slant for the game-tying touchdown. The final siren blared just as Granko powered his way across the goal line to even the score at 13 apiece. Old Forge kicker Isiah Rodriguez hit the winning extra point.

“I was wide open, but I got hit,” Granko said. “Somehow I hung onto it.”

After the Blue Devils moved into the red zone with ease thanks to an outstanding reception by Chris Rasmus, Nanticoke’s defense put them on the ropes with 23 seconds remaining. Seth Raymer and Jaidyn Johnson combined…

SEAFORD, Del. – At the American Legion Nanticoke Post 6 in Seaford, a 7,000 lb. field artillery piece has stood guar since 1931.

The piece is a 4.7″ Model of 1906, which was build around 1918.

“This artillery piece was used for training of our troops before they went over to Europe for World War One,” said Chuck Hales of Nanticoke Post 6.

The piece served the United States Army at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds until 1931 when the Army presented the piece to Nanticoke Post 6.

It has sat on the corner of North Front Street and Third Street for the past 92 years.

“She’s kind of fell into disrepair over the years and we just knew that we had to do something to get her looking good again so that’s what we are gonna do,” Hales said. Hales is directing a $4,000 project to restore the artillery piece.

On Thursday morning, a crane from Huston Crane lifted the 2½ ton barrel and carriage on to a flatbed truck. The truck was taking them to Eddie Callaway in Mardela Springs, Md. to clean and repaint them in Army-spec olive green.

The wooden wheels, which were removed earlier, are at A&A Carriage in New Holland, Pa. for restoration work.

For the American Legion, having a World War I piece on post is an important symbol of the organization’s history.

“The Legion started at the end of World War I. Teddy Roosevelt, Jr. was a Colonel at the time, and they got in Paris, France, and actually the first Legion post, Post One Europe, is in Paris,” said Roy Lamberton. Lamberton is a historian and former commander of Nanticoke Post 6.

Nanticoke Post 6 expects work on the barrel and carriage to be complete within the next two weeks, and for the wheels to be completed within the next two months….

WILKES-BARRE — A man from Nanticoke was arrested by Wilkes-Barre City Police after a woman claimed he raped her along railroad tracks in the area of Carey Avenue and West Division Street Sunday.

Jermaine Lee Crosby, 40, of East Union Street, was arraigned by District Judge Rick Cronauer in Wilkes-Barre on felony charges of rape by force and sexual assault and a misdemeanor count of simple assault. Crosby was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $100,000 bail.

According to the criminal complaint:

A woman receiving medical treatment at Geisinger South Wilkes-Barre passed a note in the emergency room claiming she was raped and did not know what to do.

A police officer was summoned to the emergency room where the woman claimed she had been hanging out with Crosby for several weeks.

The woman told police Crosby wanted to have sex but she refused.

Crosby allegedly struck her on the left side of her face, pushed her to the ground and sexually assaulted while he held her down by her throat and shoulders along railroad tracks behind a store at Carey Avenue and West Division Street.

Police in the complaint said the woman’s left eye was swollen.

The woman told police she fought Crosby during the assault, the complaint says.

Police say they recovered a flannel shirt in the area where the alleged sexual assault occurred.

Court records say Crosby was released from the county correctional facility on an unrelated case when he posted $8,000 bail on July 23, related to slashing a woman during an argument about a cellular phone on South Franklin Street, Wilkes-Barre, on June 4, 2022.

Crosby is scheduled for trial the week…
