Marian's basketball team wasn't the only gold that their school earned this weekend. The only competitive swimmer in the school, Kristen Schikora, won several gold medals at Bucknell this past weekend.
Here's the sweet part. On their way back from State College, the basketball team stopped in Shamokin Dam, close to the hotel Kristen was staying at. Thanks to the help of Kristen's family, they organized the surprise get-together. Obviously, Kristen was pleasantly surprised. Nice touch.
Congratulations to all of local medalists.

More congratulations to the Hazleton Area bowling team, winning the state title in Altoona this past weekend. A number of bowlers statewide who competed in both bowling tours I'm involved with did very well. Bravo!
Talk with you at 6:00, get ready for the 7:00 workout, and the Time Machine at 9:00.
Buckle up,

Capping it off...
Great win by Mt. St. Joseph's Academy in girls 3A. Boys 4A was exciting... Chester was up by 21, but Norristown crawled back to get within 2. Chester ended up winning, 81-77.
Next year's title games will be back here at Penn State. The Bryce Jordan Centre was very accomodating.
Talk with you on Monday. Buckle up.

Terrelle Pryor's last game...
Well, the fans got more than their money's worth.
Pryor had a dunk in the 4th quarter that got the crowd on its feet.
However, he missed free throws in the 4th quarter that would have iced it. The game went to overtime, and Jeannette ultimately won, 76-72.
Pryor had a good game, but tired down the stretch and in overtime. He even air-balled a free throw in overtime. Pryor had great teammates, like Shaw Sunder, Jordan Hall, and Kenny Grant.
The Jayhawks also now hold basketball and football titles in the same school year.

Fillies Win!
Congratulations to the Marian Fillies! The Girls A championship is back where it belongs in the Schuylkill League. Rachel Connelly had the game of her life; 19 points, 16 rebounds, and 11 blocks. Paul Brutto finally got his first PIAA title. Great job, Fillies. Great job, fans!
State Championships, part 2
Serra Catholic's win yesterday was a bit of redemption for that school... they lost the football Class A title to Steelton-Highspire. Well, Steel-High won the Class AAA boys title last night. They completed an impressive daily double, holding football and basketball titles in separate classes at the same time.
Central Dauphin came from behind to win the Class AAAA girls title over Mount Lebanon.
Being back here in Centre County brings back some warm memories of the time I lived here. I even went as far as having breakfast at the Waffle Shop in Bellefonte this morning.
Gonna be a fun day today... Marian at 12noon, Terrelle Pryor and Jeanette at 2pm, then Chester at 8pm. What color jacket will Chester Coach Fred Pickett wear tonight?

State Championships...
Hello from the Bryce Jordan Center...
Congrats to York Catholic for winning the Girls AA title.
Great job and congrats to Serra Catholic out of Pittsburgh. They were down by 12 several times, even in the 4th. They came back to beat Friere Charter by one for the Boys A title. Great coaching, fundamentals, and use of the big man in the middle to get the job done.
Two more tonight, then four tomorrow, including the Marian Fillies at 12noon.

My legs still hurt...
Last weekend, I moved.
My legs still hurt from it.
I admit that I'm a pack rat. I have so many audio and video tapes that I have one entire closet devoted to them. I dearly thank my parents, aunt, and energetic 16-year-old cousin for their help. There was no way I could have done it alone.
I still have quite a bit to unpack... that'll slowly get done over the next few days.
I'll be in State College all weekend for PIAA basketball, so no Sparks After Dark tomorrow night.
Talk with you Monday, for the return of the Time Machine and the start of the 7:00 Workout.
