WILKES-BARRE — One bad inning. Happened to the Lake-Lehman back when the weather was frigid against Holy Redeemer. Happened again Monday on the most pleasant day of the Wyoming Valley Conference softball season. Redeemer again used a big inning — this time the fourth — to defeat the Black Knights 6-1 and run their WVC […]

Matt Mathers drove home two runs, Will McCrum scored three times Wednesday and the Dallas Mountaineers erased all memories of their last loss by beating Hazleton Area, 8-2 for their first victory over the Cougars since 2011 in a Wyoming Valley Conference baseball game at Dallas.

LEHMAN TWP. — In a bluster of determination and some young talent, the GAR girls track and field team opened its season last week by winning for the first time in four years.

LEHMAN TWP. — Wyoming Seminary tried Monday. Lake-Lehman tried again Tuesday. Neither, though, was able to knock Holy Redeemer from its elite status in Division 3 of Wyoming Valley Conference softball.

WILKES-BARRE — After waiting two weeks to start its season, the Meyers boys track and field team had a little trouble warming up to the feel of a competitive meet. Mainly because of who the opponent was. Still, that didn’t stop the two-time defending Wyoming Valley Conference Division 2 champion Meyers boys from running away […]

Delaware Valley has wound up as champion in all five seasons of Wyoming Valley Conference boys lacrosse, but a growing list of teams is building credentials that make it possible, perhaps even likely, that the run could end this season.
