Watching, playing sports brings families together
I grew up as a sports nut.
Ever since I was little, my dad started my sister and I out on watching all the big league sports.
I learned at a young age what it meant to win and how bad it felt to lose.
When I became a reporter here at The Express, my passion trickled down to the high school level.
But more importantly than what my family and I were watching on television was the time we were spending together.
I saw that very same thing Thursday at Bowman Field in Williamsport as Dan Lazorka proudly watched his daughters, Amber and Kirsten, and his son, Jeremy, take part in an exhibition game against the U.S. Olympic Softball team.
Sports brought them together as a family.
And I’m willing to bet that the sport of softball has taught them more than just the fundamentals of the game.
“I love it,” said Kirsten, a College Misericordia graduate along with her older sister, Amber.
The streak many don’t know about
Search around long enough, you may find it.
Or just have some free time while waiting for a baseball game on the West Coast to finish. That’s how I found it.
Either way, it’s there.
It’s not hidden under a rock.
One goal down, a long list awaits
Dave Peters sat back and beamed with pride.
The first-year head coach watched his Central Mountain Lady Wildcats celebrate and cheer with one another after a 12-2 whacking of Indian Valley Friday afternoon.
Wildcat tennis has chance for a title
Even Davis Santucci will admit his surprise.
The Wildcat boys’ tennis team enters today’s play with a 4-0 record in the Mountain League.
Taylor Lesser living up to expectations
There is the expected. Then, there is the unknown.
Thus far, that’s how you could explain the start of the 2008 season for Central Mountain softball.
Sometimes, success is the only mindset
Success is a funny thing.
You get a few wins under your belt, and the confidence soars.
You win one title, and you expect that every single time you step on the court, field, hardwood or mat.
