Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask High Point). They never let the Lenape Valley Patriots get on the board and left with a 17-0 win on Tuesday. The Wildcats haven’t had any issues with the Patriots recently, as the game was their seventh consecutive victory against them.

Grace Meyers made a big impact no matter where she played. She kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out seven over four innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn’t given up more than two walks any time she’s pitched this season. She was also solid in the batter’s box, going 3-for-4 with two runs and one RBI.

In other batting news, High Point let Joelle Lucatorto and Karli Matthews run wild. Lucatorto went 3-for-4 with one home run, five RBI, and two runs, while Matthews got on base in all four of her plate appearances with four runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. Lucatorto has been hot recently, having posted three or more hits the last three times she’s played. Another player making a difference was Abby Macfie, who went 2-for-3 with three runs.

High Point pushed their record up to 6-2 with the win, which was their third straight at home. Those home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 14.0 runs over those games. As for Lenape Valley, they are on a four-game losing streak that has…

How the Lenape Nation fights to protect the Delaware River, its ancestral home

For the Lenape Nation, an indigenous tribe in Pennsylvania, the Delaware River is their ancestral home and a place they come to pay their respects. 

Clan Mother Shelley Windamakwi DePaul and her son Chief Adam Waterbear DePaul have dedicated their lives to protecting the river. 

Asked about the significance of the river, Adam DePaul said, “There are pragmatic reasons — it’s huge for traveling, of course, it provides food, but the spiritual significance, the cultural significance, the river just communicates so much humility.”

Keeping a balance between nature and development motivates the Lenape’s activism. 

“What can we do to keep the balance, or in many cases restore the balance?” Shelley DePaul asked. “Because our early ancestors lived in balance, and now we need to relearn that.”

“Finding a new harmony”

Partnering with other organizations, the tribe’s efforts helped lead to a 2021 ban on fracking in the Delaware River Basin after concerns that those chemicals could cause health problems and hurt aquatic life and ecosystems. In 2002, they helped kill a proposed dam on the river that would have created a lake along the Pennsylvania-New Jersey border. 

“It’s really important to understand that we are not against construction and development,” Adam DePaul said. “It’s because there is severe and unwarranted risk to the environment and/or to the cultural history of the area.”

Now, they’re fighting against the construction of huge warehouses near the river because of concerns about pollution draining into the river. 

“It’s often one of the biggest points that people just don’t deal with, that there’s no realistic plan for,” Adam DePaul said.

Whether it’s protesting or lobbying, the Lenape…

Boys Volleyball Top 20, April 18: Ranked showdowns shake things up

As the season is starting to get into full swing, there have been many exciting matchups that have stirred up the rankings in past weeks.
