The fifth Burlington County Open will be held Friday and Saturday at Lenape High School.
Below are some of the top storylines from the tournament as well as the schedule, defending champions and seeds.
Who will win the team title?
There’s been three winners of the team championship in the four years of the tournament. Rancocas Valley snuck out the first crown, Seneca went back-to-back, then Lenape won in its home gym last year.
Rancocas Valley and Seneca would appear to be the favorites.
Who will win MOW?
Delran’s Drew Roskos won the award the first three years, while Cinnaminson’s Dominic Marino took home the honors last season. Marino is back – and is undefeated at 138 pounds – though Delran’s Jackson Weller is the best wrestler in the field. The 150-pounder could face undefeated Joseph Hartz of Bordentown in the final and that could give him the honor – or a low seed could swoop in and win it out from under both of them.
Can Ben Hoffman come full circle?
The Delran senior captured the title in a 13-11 overtime thriller as a freshman but hasn’t been able to repeat the last two years. He’ll be looking for his second title this year as the No. 2 seed at 157 pounds, the same weight he won at three years ago.
Can Thiago Maldonado earn a third title?
Rancocas Valley’s Thiago Maldonado has won county titles the last two years and along with Weller can become a three-time champ. Maldonado has some work to do though as only the No. 4 seed at 144 pounds.
What’s the best weight class?
Tough call but 113 has a case with undefeated freshman Danny Finelli as the No. 1 seed with Northern Burlington’s Chase Milton and Chase Dubuque the No. 2 and No. 3 seeds. At 165 pounds, Riverside’s Eduardo Oliviera should get a…
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has settled a wrongful death lawsuit with the estate of a man shot dead by a Fish and Boat Commission officer in Luzerne County for $2.65 million, according to the Wheeling, West Virginia-based law firm Bordas and Bordas.
Sean Bohinski, 37, of Nanticoke, was fatally shot by an officer following a confrontation along the Susquehanna River in Plymouth Twp. on Oct. 24, 2017.
Bohinski’s mother, Peggy Boucher, filed a federal lawsuit in 2019 alleging the officer, Aaron Lupacchini, violated department policies and used excessive force during the confrontation.
The case was sent to Magistrate Judge Phillip J. Caraballo for settlement negotiations last February, and earlier this month the parties agreed to close the case following the agreement on the $2.65 million settlement, according to court records.
“I knew that it was up to me to fight for justice for my son,” Boucher said in a statement. “I wanted the world to know that he did not deserve to die and that the actions of the officer were not justified or lawful.”
According to the Luzerne County District Attorney’s Office, Lupacchini was patrolling the river bank near the intersection of routes 11 and 29 on the afternoon of the shooting when he smelled smoke and found Bohinski using a machete to stir a fire that was burning the insulation from some copper wiring.
Suspecting the wiring was stolen, Lupacchini began conducting a pat-down during which Bohinski turned and struck the officer in the face, breaking his glasses and leaving a cut on his face, according to prosecutors.
Bohinski ran into the river, but then turned back in the face of a stiff current and hit Lupacchini a second time with a rock, prosecutors said.
Lupacchini attempted to defend himself with pepper spray and a baton, but was…

According to those who’ve experienced it, some of the best spots for winter camping are popular national parks in the U.S., like Rocky Mountain National Park, Yosemite, and Death Valley, which is particularly pleasant in the winter months since it’s the hottest and driest park in the country. But you’ll also find wonderful winter camping at lesser-known places across the country, including the Appalachian Mountain Club’s Mohican Outdoor Center in Blairstown, New Jersey, which is open in all four seasons.
Perched on the edge of a glacial lake near the border of Pennsylvania, the center is part of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, a sprawling 70,000 acres with forested hiking trails and lush mountain landscapes. About 40 miles of the Delaware River pass through it, as does a portion of the Appalachian Trail — both are easily accessible from the AMC’s Mohican Outdoor Center and its winter campsites. Guests can warm up at the nearby Visitor Center, which has a cozy fireplace open to the public.
Explore the Appalachian Mountain Club’s Mohican Outdoor Center
Founded in 1876, the Appalachian Mountain Club, or AMC, is the oldest outdoor organization in the United States. The non-profit offers nearly 100 accommodations along the Northeast section of the Appalachian Trail (from New Jersey to Maine), including its southernmost facility, the Mohican Outdoor Center, which previously served as a Boy Scouts camp. Visitors can choose from campsites that can fit one to eight people (or as many as 30 people in group sites). Some are simple, set in the woods with shared picnic tables and fire rings (from $33 per night in winter), while others are more private and feature lake views (from $66 per night).
Also available to reserve are cabins, starting at $126 per night, with bathrooms and outdoor grills. Some have screened-in porches, full kitchens, or fireplaces, too….

A Luzerne County jury on Wednesday convicted a Kunkletown man who was caught in a citizen-sting operation run by the Luzerne County Predator Catcher.
Zachary John Mitchell, 51, of Kunkletown, faced felony counts of attempted unlawful contact with a minor, solicitation to commit statutory sexual assault and criminal use of a communication facility.
The charges alleged he tried setting up a sexual encounter with the predator catcher, Musa Harris, who had been posing online as a 15-year-old boy.
Following a two-day trial before Luzerne County Judge Michael T. Vough, the jury found Mitchell guilty on all charges.
Deputy District Attorney Daniel E. Zola prosecuted the case.
“This verdict confirms that the protection of children is paramount,” Zola said Thursday. “While information in this case came to the attention of authorities through a third party, it is important to be clear that this conviction is the result of a lawful police investigation and evidence tested in court. Criminal accountability must always be pursued.”
Mitchell was one of four Luzerne County men snared during video-streamed, citizen-sting operations who previously challenged the legality of their arrests in appeals to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
The men applied for “extraordinary relief” in the form of a rarely invoked King’s Bench power, which allows the high court to immediately consider any pending case when it sees the need to address an issue of immediate public importance.
At issue is whether a private citizen such as Harris, an adult and a civilian, is legally permitted to be the victim in a child sex case.
Luzerne County District Attorney Sam Sanguedolce, in accordance with a previous court ruling by Vough, has allowed his office to move forward with such prosecutions by filing charges of attempted unlawful contact with a minor, rather than the act of unlawful contact with…

This 90s film is “a timeless classic” starring Hollywood icon and British actor Daniel Day-Lewis.
08:00, 22 Jan 2026Updated 08:29, 22 Jan 2026
“Masterpiece” period drama is second coming of cinema on Film4 tonight(Image: )
An epic love story has been hailed as both an “underrated movie” and “a timeless classic” – and it airs on Film4 tonight.
The Last Of The Mohicans, released in 1992, stars Daniel Day-Lewis, Madeleine Stowe, and Jodhi May, and brings viewers to follow an epic love story set against violence and betrayal.
The film sees frontiersman Hawkeye (played by Daniel Day-Lewis), adopted son of the Mohican chief Chingachgook, as he and his brothers protect British Colonel Munro’s daughters, Cora and Alice, through the treacherous wilderness during the French and Indian War. Soon, a passionate romance ensues between Hawkeye and Cora amidst brutal conflicts with vengeful Huron warrior Magua.
The Last Of The Mohicans has been hailed as “a timeless classic”(Image: )
The film focuses on their desperate journey to Fort William Henry, betrayal, siege warfare, and a tragic quest for survival and love against the backdrop of escalating colonial violence.
The Last Of The Mohicans might be over 30 years old but it’s become known for Daniel Day-Lewis’s intense method acting of living in the wilderness, as well as its attention to detail with the authentic use of Native American languages by actors like Wes Studi (who played Cherokee).
The film also featured massive, expensive sets with the Fort William Henry one alone costing $6 million (approximately £4.8 million), and Michael Mann’s demanding, realistic filming style, resulting in grueling conditions alongside many takes, and an Oscar win for Best Sound.

Native America Calling: A tribal mining development agreement: a path forward or a one-time anomaly?
Thursday, January 22, 2026
A tribal mining development agreement: a path forward or a one-time anomaly?
A recent agreement between a gold mining company and the Shoshone Paiute Tribes of the Duck Valley Reservation is being called “historic” by its chairman. The mining company president says the agreement follows the standards set by the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and gives the tribe a share of the profits from the mine. The company and tribal officials are optimistic this will set a precedent for how mining companies partner with tribes. At the same time as the agreement, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency proposes to severely limit the power of tribes to interfere with construction of oil and natural gas pipelines and resource-guzzling data centers.
