Butler at Northern Highlands, 4:15

Butler secured a pair of shutout wins in the opening week against Hackensack and Dwight-Englewood. The offense put up a total of 17 goals in the wins. Northern Highlands also has two shutouts under its belt so far in 2021 and has scored nine goals.

Cherokee at Lenape, 3:45

Cherokee dropped its season opener to Eastern and will look to get back on track against a conference rival. Lenape, which has beaten Cherokee in four of the previous five meetings dating back to 2018, rolled past Cherry Hill West in the opener before a tough loss to Camden Catholic.

Rumson-Fair Haven at Ocean Township, 6:30

Both of these divisional rivals enter the week undefeated and have yet to allow a single goal. Ocean Township downed Red Bank Catholic and Donovan Catholic by a combined score of 15-0, while Rumson-Fair Haven took care of Holmdel and Freehold Township by a 9-0 count. Rumson-Fair Haven dominated the head-to-head matchup last season, winning all three and outscoring Ocean Township 20-2.

Schalick at Woodstown, 4

This Diamond Division clash will be a good one. Woodstown won its first two games with a +17 goal differential. Schalick blanked Gloucester Catholic 4-0 in its only game of the season so far. The recent head-to-head records have been split with both teams winning twice and all but one game being decided by a goal.

Basically, you’ve got to start somewhere. Most teams had their season shortened by the coronavirus pandemic last year, some have lost their top players to MLS Next, and there’s only so much you can glean from gossip and Summer League results.

Celebrate the heritage of the Lenape at a two-day pow wow held this weekend at Mauch Chunk Lake Park in Jim Thorpe. 

The gathering is organized by the Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania, a nonprofit dedicated to increasing awareness of the history and culture of the Lenape, known as the original inhabitants of Delaware, New Jersey, Eastern Pennsylvania, and Southern New York.

On our radar: 10 Pocono summer and fall festivals that have something for everyone

Ceremonial performances will include traditional and social dances, drum circles, and a concert on Saturday by the Jim Beer Family Band.

Beer, who is based out of Southeast Pennsylvania, is of Lenape descent and is known for his singles, “Muddy River,” “Lena’pe Honoring Song.” His songs raise awareness for other Native American tribes and their struggles including tunes such as “Free Leonard Peltier,” and “Sing a Prayer for Big Mountain.”

Barry Lee, executive director of the Circle Legacy Center in Lancaster, will emcee the event and local tribe members Matt White Eagle Chair, Chris Mourning Dove Clair, Richard Quite Hawk Welker will lead the dance ceremonies.  

Performing on drums: Gray Cloud Singers, Red Storm, Horse Singers, Medicine Horse Singers, and MwenKenay Kshuwsu Asuwichik (Itchy Dog Singers). 

More: Advocates make case for Delaware Water Gap to be PA’s 1st national park

There will also be vendors selling Lenape-created arts and crafts and family-friendly games and other activities. 

If you go: The free pow wow takes place 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at 625 Lentz Trail, Jim Thorpe. Donations, welcomed upon entry, benefit the Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania.

Williamstown Braves

Head coach: Tom Kelly (first season)

Last year’s record: 7-2

2021 Starting SI rating: 82.42

Division: WJFL American

Division opponents: Millville, Shawnee, Lenape, St. Augustine, Vineland

Key players: Turner Inge, RB/LB, Sr.; Keyshaun Watkins, QB/RB, Sr.; Jayden Wright, OL/DL, Sr.; Barry Alexander, DL, Sr.; Paul Williams, RB/DB, Sr.; Chad Davis, DL, Sr., Nasir Lane, DL, Sr.; Jacob Pederson, P, Sr.

Outlook: Tom Kelly is the Braves’ third coach in three seasons. Frank Fucetola left the Braves prior to the 2020 season after over two decades with the program, the best years coming at the end of his tenure where Williamstown established itself as one of the best teams in the state.

Long-time offensive coordinator Pat Gallagher took over for one season, going 7-2, and now the job falls to another former Williamstown assistant in Kelly.

A strong senior class graduated but there’s still plenty of talent left, including Villanova commit Turner Inge, who will lead the Braves from the offensive and defensive backfields. Inge was the leading rusher with 545 yards and nine scores.

Williamstown is a two-time defending sectional champion and finished last year strong to vault into the Top 20 at season’s end. It will be challenged out of the blocks, especially with a matchup at St. Augustine in Week 2.

Schedule

• Sept. 3: Rancocas Valley
• Sept. 10: at St. Augustine
• Sept. 17: Kingsway
• Sept. 24: Lenape
• Oct. 1: at Shawnee
• Oct. 8: at Washington Twp.

MADISON – The Museum of Early Trades and Crafts (METC) will host a program titled “Lenape Lifeways: Introducing the First People of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware” at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 25.

This family-oriented program is free with regular museum admission. Pre-registration is recommended and can be found at www.metc.org.

As many as 10 million Native Americans lived in North America by the end of the 15th century.  Many thousands lived in “Lenapehocking,” the vast homeland of the Lenni Lenape, who were the first inhabitants of eastern Pennsylvania and parts of New York, New Jersey, Maryland and Delaware.

This program explores the life and times of these peaceful, progressive people, comparing and contrasting their social customs, history, religion, family life, agriculture, hunting, healing practices, arts and crafts, past and present contributions (and much more) with those of the Europeans and Colonial Americans of their time.

Carla Messinger of Native American Heritage Programs will lead this interactive program. She is the founder/director of Native American Heritage Programs and a descendant of the Lenape people, with 35 years of experience in educating the public about Lenape culture.

The organization’s mission is “to present, preserve, and perpetuate the history, lifeways, culture, and contributions of the Lenape and other Native American groups.”

The Museum of Early Trades & Crafts explores American history with a focus on the life and stories of 18th- and 19th-century craftsmen and artisans.

Drawing on its rich collection, METC seeks to connect the lives of people and their stories, while providing a bridge from the past to the future. Housed in a Richardsonian Romanesque Revival building donated by D. Willis James to the people of Madison in 1900, METC offers something for visitors of all ages.

Regular METC admission is $5 for adults, $3 for seniors, students and children…
