Penn College Spotlight on Baseball

0 Comments

With a year of experience under their belts, a young core of Pennsylvania College of Technology baseball players enter this season with a new focus and a “taking care of business” attitude that veteran coach Chris Howard translates into on-field success.

Howard’s 19th edition is scheduled to open its season at 12:30 p.m. on Sunday at first-time opponent Gettysburg College.

“Last year, we were a team that started eight, sometimes nine freshmen or first-year players. I would say that we have a key returner in every position on the field,” Howard said.

A year ago, the Wildcats finished 17-21 overall and were 5-10 in the United East Conference, missing the playoffs for just the second time in 17 full seasons.

Leading those returnees is sophomore centerfielder Dallas Griess of Williamsport, last year’s United East Rookie of the Year, a member of the UE first team, and a D3baseball.com All-Region IV and American Baseball Coaches Association/Rawlings Division III All-Region Mid-Atlantic third-team honoree.

Today is a solemn anniversary to honor a local hero whose death impacted not only the community he served but law enforcement across the state and members of law enforcement who came after him.

 It is a life well-lived that lets us know how deep of an impact his death has made.  And the memory of Patrolman Steve Jerman remains solidly implanted.

On this anniversary, we honor Patrolman Stephen M. Jerman and offer heartfelt prayers to his family and we want them to know we will continue his legacy and we will honor it.

“PIRATE SCHOOL: SEA DREAMS,” A MADCAP, SWASHBUCKLING SHOW FOR ALL AGES TO BE PERFORMED AT THE DEANE CENTER IN WELLSBORO

David Engel as Pirate Professor Billy Bones.


The Deane Center for the Performing Arts is presenting “Pirate School: Sea Dreams,” a madcap, swashbuckling solo show created and performed live by veteran New York actor David Engel on Friday, March 14 at 7 p.m. in the Coolidge Theatre at 104 Main Street in Wellsboro.


“Pirate School: Sea Dreams” allows kids and their caregivers the chance to live out their dreams of daring adventure and quench their undeniable thirst to join the briny buccaneers of yore. Because children crave to be part of the action, all of Mr. Engel’s shows feature immersive full-audience active participation. 

Set to an original cartoon-inspired musical score, complete with sound effects, Engel as Pirate Professor Billy Bones teaches the finer points of lighthearted mischief and offers up zany lessons on how to stand, talk, sing and laugh like a boisterous buccaneer, all while promoting good manners, polite behavior and social courage.

Children have a natural fascination for adventure and the pirates’ life on the high seas. With eye-popping puppetry, eccentric props, and slapstick sword play, Pirate School is a riotous, interactive variety show suitable for all ages. Where else can you find a talking skull and the world’s only wearable pirate ship?

The show’s run time is 60 minutes without intermission. Children are encouraged to wear pirate costumes.

Tickets are free for youngsters ages 2 and under; $10 for children ages 3 to 12 and $15 for those 13 and older, including adults. For tickets, call 570-724-6220 or visit deanecenter.com.
