In the only on-court action of the week, the Pennsylvania College of Technology women’s basketball team split its two games.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

For only the second time in eight encounters, the Wildcats, using an 18-9 second-quarter advantage, turned back Keuka College at home on Friday, 54-46. Rachel Teats, of Middleburg, honored earlier in the week for her defensive play, celebrated with a 25-point offensive performance that included hitting on 8 of 14 field goals, 2 of 4 treys and 7 of 8 foul shots. Teamwise, Penn College connected on 15 of 24 free throws, while Keuka hit just 7 of 16.

After holding its previous two opponents under 50 points in back-to-back wins, Marywood University raced to a 35-16 halftime lead and withstood a late Penn College comeback for a 61-51 win on Saturday. Teats led the Wildcats in scoring with 21 points and eight rebounds. While Penn College was sharp at the foul line, hitting 13 of 16 tries, it was just 4 of 21 from the 3-point line, while Marywood was 11 of 38 in treys.

After her third straight 20-plus point game, Teats has scored 117 on the season and 654 for her career.

Elaine Boylan, 87, of Route 219 Kane, PA passed away Thursday (Nov 30) at UPMC-Kane.  

Born March 18, 1936 in Brookston, she is the daughter of the late August and Frances (Blauser) Leichtenberger.  On July 10, 1953  she married John Boylan, who preceded her in death.

Elaine was a dedicated volunteer and a giving person to her community.  She loved cooking and baking and was always quick to share what she made with others.  She enjoyed spending time with her family  and was very proud of them.

He must be taking a break from his sleigh, because Santa is going to be in the Shay locomotive at the Pennsylvania Lumber Museum on December 9, 2023, from 12 to 3 PM, to hear your holiday wish list.

Take an instant photo with St. Nick and make a super simple family-crafted ornament. Enjoy cookies and hot cocoa. Browse a holiday bazaar of local artisans. Admission to the Santa in the Shay event also includes admission to the Lumber Museum’s exhibit galleries, so take the opportunity to learn some lumber and forest history with your family!

Be sure to dress warmly and wear boots because Santa and the Shay locomotive are outside in an un-heated building. There could be snow on the ground too, so be prepared. Guest will also have to climb a short flight of stairs to make their way into the cab of the locomotive, but Santa can come out to meet you as needed.
