"Organization approaches adolescents with planned fun and companionship", Williamsport Sun-Gazette :: June 8, 2009

youth for life
Believe it or not, a church service isn't always the best way to approach a teenager curious about his or her purpose in life, but who has rejected pastoral direction. It's not that church is the wrong place," said Matthew McGovern, area director for Lycoming County Young Life, an interdenominational Christian youth outreach. "It's just that sometimes they don't need to be preached to," ... [read more]

"Skatepark needed"
Williamsport Sun-Gazette :: May 4, 2009

What does Lewisburg, Lock Haven, Sunbury, and even Montgomery have that Williamsport does not. Give up? They all have a skatepark facility for Their youth. For some reason Williamsport officials seem to think that these kids and young adults should have to leave town or run the risk of being fined for practicing in Their own town. When are our leaders going to realize that it's not going away. There are more youth involved in skateboarding, BMX, and in-line blading than baseball and football combined. - Justin Livermore, Cogan Station, Submitted by Virtual Newsroom [read more]

Montoursville Girls Soccer :: PIAA Class AA :: STATE CHAMPS!

warriors tessa mckibben The Warriors earned the title by defeating South Park 3-1 on a rain-soaked Hersheypark Stadium. Montoursville was carried by a gutsy performance from senior forward Tesa McKibben, who scored two goals, both times capitalizing on South Park mistakes. Those two misplayed balls will likely be replayed in the mind of coach Shelly Thropp and the rest of the Eagles for some time to come. - "Warriors win state title", by Christian Ingram, Sun Gazette, November 16, 2008 read more
