Feb. 8—WILKES-BARRE — The defensive pressure that was so effective in the first quarter returned in the nick of time for Holy Redeemer.

The result was a chance to play for the Wyoming Valley Conference Division 2 girls basketball title.

Redeemer forced two turnovers in the final 17 seconds Wednesday night to hang on for a 53-49 victory over Nanticoke Area in the regular-season finales for both teams.

Redeemer (11-1 Div. 2, 14-8 overall) will play Lake-Lehman (11-1, 18-4) at 7 p.m. Friday at Nanticoke Area High School for the division crown.

“Every time you play Nanticoke they’re gritty, they’re tough,” said Redeemer coach John Jezorwski, whose team won the first matchup in overtime. “(Claire) Aufiero was fabulous, played an outstanding game. Ed (Grant) did a great job coaching and preparing his kids.

“They just punched us in the mouth, but again we responded well.”

The Royals held Nanticoke Area (7-5, 9-13) scoreless over the final 1:32. The Trojanettes had tied the game 49-49 after Aufiero scored inside off a pass from Navaeh Baran.

Turnovers, though, hurt Nanticoke Area the rest of the way. Redeemer’s Meghan Albrecht turned a steal into a go-ahead layup. She then tied up a Nanticoke Area player, resulting in the possession arrow giving the ball to Redeemer with 30.3 second left.

Redeemer missed the front end of a one-and-one with 17.7 seconds left, giving the ball back to Nanticoke Area when it went out of bounds. The Trojanettes, though, threw away the inbound pass.

Redeemer’s Paige Kroptavich made it 52-49 with a free throw with 15.4 seconds remaining. She missed her second shot and Nanticoke Area rebounded only to be called for a traveling violation.

“The periods we took care of the ball, we were able to break that press and made our little runs,” Grant said. “A lot of people stepped up tonight, which…

The Albany FireWolves (1-0) defeated the Buffalo Bandits (0-1), 11-10, at the KeyBank Center in Buffalo, New York on Saturday evening.

The group honors 343 firefighters who lost their lives on 9/11 at a memorial on the LCCC campus.

NANTICOKE, Pa. — On the campus of Luzerne County Community College sits a “Walk of Honor.” It’s a memorial to the first responders who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, but especially Michael Carlo, a New York City Firefighter killed in the aftermath of the attacks.

This dedication is thanks to Michael’s mother, who is from the Wanamie section of Newport Township.

“He worked the 230 Engine in Brooklyn, and she wanted to do something in his memory,” explained Nanticoke Fire Chief Mark Boncal. “She made a significant donation that was able to have this walk of honor. His plaque was the first one that was put up on the inside in his remembrance.”

Every year, dozens of firefighters who fought alongside Michael make this pilgrimage to this site to pay their respects.

One of those riders is Michael’s brother Robert Carlo.

“Today’s a great way for us to memorialize our brothers. We’ve been doing services all month, the whole month of September,” said Robert.

During a speech at the ceremony, Robert also talked about his mother’s donation and how it made the public safety training institute possible at LCCC. It’s just down the hill from the Walk of Honor.

“We’re lucky enough to be one of the biggest fire departments in the world and have a lot of money to build training facilities and for her to get something like this done and then for them to have the training facility here, and you know, in the county where there isn’t a lot of money to build these things,” said Robert.

Robert says it means a lot to him to have his fellow firefighters take the…
