LOUDON, N.H. — Joe Gibbs had a New Hampshire race victory to celebrate — and a future dinner to fill his belly courtesy of the 21-pound lobster awarded to winner Christopher Bell — but some things still didn’t feel right to the Hall of Fame team owner.

Dorrance Township Volunteer Fire and Ambulance and Wright Township Volunteer Fire Department held their first “Fire and Ice” community open house on Sunday, July 17, at Dorrance Township Volunteer Fire Co. headquarters. The event featured a display of fire equipment from both departments as well as the Dorrance Township ambulance, a Wright Township police vehicle, Pennsylvania State Police fire marshal, safety information from Geisinger Medical Center, Smokey Bear and free ice cream.

PITTSTON — The Mountain Top 8-10 baseball all-stars found themselves in a unique situation earlier this month.

PITTSTON — A couple hours after one group of Mountain Top all-stars trotted around the field with a District 16 championship banner, another bunch did the same.

After winning the District 2 Class 4A championship in 2020, Crestwood took a step backward last season. The Comets won only three games, suffering their first losing season since coach Ryan Arcangeli took over the program in 2019.

DALLAS TWP. — The pass was perfectly placed for Dallas receiver Zach Paczewski. A sure touchdown, no doubt as he had his defender beaten.

Noah Schultz ran for 193 yards and three touchdowns to lead 49-7 Crestwood past Wyoming Area in a Wyoming Valley Conference football game last Friday night.

KINGSTON — After an opening drive that lasted for over seven minutes, 50 lost yards due to penalties and a series that saw Crestwood 33 yards away from the first down, Noah Schultz would score his first of four touchdowns in the game as the Comets rolled through Valley West 49-21.

WRIGHT TWP. — The Crestwood game plan was obvious from the opening drive. Take advantage of Williamsport’s rush defense. Run as much as possible.

PLAINS TWP. — Behind a monster night from Noah Schultz, Crestwood ran the ball all night and eventually ran Wilkes-Barre Area off the field, improving to 5-1 with a 45-14 rout over the Wolfpack on Friday night at Wilkes-Barre Area Stadium.
