Building a PLL Expansion Team

By any chance have you ever heard somebody claim that the PLL does not have enough teams to accommodate the amount of talent in the lacrosse world? If so you can be entitled to financial compensation. Only kidding, don’t reach out looking for money, instead see below the prestigious article of PLL’s ninth expansion team, Free Agents LC. A few players on this list may be picked up by the time the article releases, please do not show up outside of my house with pitchforks and torches if this is the case.

Out of curiosity, what would you name your PLL expansion team?

Attack

Tehoka Nanticoke, Randy Staats, Andrew Kew, and Mark Cockerton

For Nanticoke and Staats, they have not had their fair chance at making a push for a roster spot in the PLL. Neither have been active for a game despite having decorated college careers and being world class indoor players. Staats can do a little bit of everything and Tehoka has some of the silkiest mitts in the world, they’re both highlight reel players who bring juice to any offense. Staats would be the quarterback of this offense, 4 years ago he had a 50 point season on 17 goals and 33 assists. Kew is a head scratcher on how he is still unclaimed, the big lefty has proven he can be productive in this league totaling 13 points in 2021 with the Cannons. I remember watching him net 4 goals in one of the Cannons first games in the PLL, two years later he hasn’t cracked a roster since. Cockerton brings a veteran presence to this PLL expansion team, as he is someone who has produced in the professional game for a longtime.

Offensive Midfield

Bryan Cole, Tanner Cook, Jack Jasinski, Sergio Salcido, Christian…

Lower Bucks County as United States capital? Citizens twice hoped it would happen

Edgely bridge in Lower Bucks County may need to be replaced, says Bristol Township. First, its safety needs to be assessed.

The Edgely bridge, sometimes called the Randall Avenue bridge, is in poor shape and may need to be replaced. Bristol Township’s investigating.

JD Mullane, Bucks County Courier Times

It surprised me several years ago to learn Morrisville nearly became Washington, D.C. I got another jolt lately: Bristolians once expected their village to become Philadelphia which for a time was the U.S. capital. That bit of trivia got me to envisioning the impact on Bucks County had those dreams come true.

Bristol as Philadelphia and D.C.

In 1672, Quaker founder George Fox and companions forged their way on horseback on wilderness paths from Long Island through New Jersey to reach Maryland. At Burlington Island, Lenape Indians ferried them across the Delaware River in canoes. Their horses swam across. The travelers landed at what George deemed an ideal site for a settlement.

Within a decade, English Quakers took the hint. They got to work building Buckingham village (the future Bristol) in the new colony of Pennsylvania. Just upstream, William Penn purchased 8,431 acres from the Lenape for his Pennsbury Manor home plus territory…

Shaub fuels IR girls’ softball run to the DIAA state finale

Jaya Shaub

Jaya Shaub displays an Indian River High School colored bow in her hair. Shaub is this week’s salute to the IRHS seniors.

Coastal Point • Mike Stern

Losing is tough.

But remaining victorious of spirit and attitude is achievable regardless of what the scoreboard reads.

Jaya Schaub realizes this.

The outstanding Indian River High School girls’ softball third-baseman remains thankful and enthusiastic about the wild ride that she and her teammates took to the DIAA state championship game.

The Indians fell just short of winning the title, after their 15-game winning streak was snapped by Caravel Academy at the University of Delaware on Saturday, June 3.

“I’m beyond proud of all the work we’ve put in this season, and I think we showed ourselves and other schools how much we can really do,” said Shaub after IR finished the season at an impressive 19-4. “I wouldn’t want to win with another team, and I wouldn’t have wanted to lose with another team. My Indian River High teammates really are my sisters, and I’m glad I got the opportunity to make history with them. I’m not disappointed that we lost, and I’m even more sad that the season is over. But that only means that it was something good enough to miss, and for that I’m grateful.”

Calm, peace and purpose in the batter’s box

She displays a striking command presence.

The strapping 5-foot-7 right-handed hitter steps into the batter’s box, exuding a sense of calm, of peace and of purpose.

Anyone watching can immediately surmise that she is locked in.

Standing just 43 feet from the girls’ softball pitcher’s mound, Shaub awaits the hurler’s offering with a sense of purpose and commitment.

Moments later, she makes solid contact with the ball, driving the sphere to the outer reaches of the outfield, then swiftly races…

Jake Huff Stable scores again with Holy Being

WILKES-BARRE, PA – Holy Being (Archangel) worked his way to the lead past a :28.1 opening quarter, got soft middle splits of :58 and 1:27.1, and then was able to finish strongly to win the $15,000 featured harness racing trot at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania Monday (May 29) afternoon in 1:55.1.

Anthony Napolitano, top driver of the day at Pocono with three victories, guided the gelding to a 1¼ length victory over Quarantina for trainer Jake Huff and Beauty Bridle Racing Stable Inc.

HOLY BEING REPLAY

The story at Pocono on Monday was quite the tale of two opposite halves of the twelve-race card. Holy Being was the only frontender to win in the last six races, while five of the first six winners raced on the lead. In a perhaps-related bit of news, the favorites won each of the first six races of the day, and then were shut out the rest of the way, with the afternoon punctuated by Optrix (Tom Jackson) winning the last race at $104.60, second-highest price of the 2023 season.

Tuesday’s card, not surprisingly given the above mutuel breakdown, will have three different carryovers (Pick-4, Pick-5, and High-5); the racing features will be two $15,500 events for the top claiming handicap trotters on the ground, plus four $15,000 divisions of the steppingstone “nw 4 races” class. The Tuesday card starts at 1 p.m.; program pages for all Pocono races are or will be available by clicking here.

Prince of Persia goes Mohican and launches a new game in 2024: the keys to The Lost Crown

With a striking change in style, the Prince of Persia saga returns with The Lost Crown: we tell you all its keys.

Ubisoft has put the batteries with Prince of Persia after a lot of years without news in the saga. It is true that the Sands of Time remake, which is still in development, has had some problems and has been rebooted. But this has not stopped Ubisoft from continuing to work on the franchise and today, at Summer Game Fest, has presented Prince of Persia The Lost Crown, a new game in the saga.

Breaking away from the three-dimensional gameplay that has accompanied Prince of Persia for decades, The Lost Crown leads to sideline action a game that is familiar and is inspired by titles like Metroid, Ori and the Blind Forest and Dead Cells, to give a few examples.

8 Coolest Small Towns in the Poconos for a Summer Vacation

Luxurious resorts, watersports, and delicious food are topics that come to mind when someone mentions the Poconos. The Pocono Mountains, commonly referred to as the Poconos is a geological, geographical, and unique cultural region in Northeastern Pennsylvania. These majestic mountains overlook the beautiful Delaware River and Delaware Water Gap to the east. With the enchanting Lake Wallenpaupack to the north of the mountains, the Wyoming Valley and the Coal Region are to the west, and the gorgeous Lehigh Valley to the south.

The fascinating name; Pocono is derived from the local indigenous Munsee word Pokawachne, which means “Creek Between Two Hills.” The Munsee peoples originally occupied the beautiful headwaters of the Delaware River in present-day New Jersey, New York, as well as the Pennsylvania region. This extended all the way south to the substantial Lehigh River, as well as holding the west bank of the Hudson River from the famous Catskill Mountains close to the New Jersey line. Today, the Poconos is a popular region for tourism, especially among New Yorkers searching for a weekend getaway or a summer vacation in the beauty of nature.
