Penn State Wins National Title In Wrestling!

 Well, it is now official, the Penn State Nittany Lions have won the NCAA Wrestling National title for the fourth straight year and this is the twelve National championship under Head Coach Cael Sanderson.

It was crazy to think how dominate Penn State was throughout the tournament. The Nittany Lions had 10 All-Americans going into it. In fact, they clinched the title during the Saturday morning consolation rounds.

Penn State had wrestlers who finished sixth or better and even broke their team scoring record from last year which was 172.5 points to this year with the Nittany Lions scoring a team total of 177 points 😮.

Three wrestlers from Penn State made it to the finals of their respective weight classes with two of them winning. The first being Carter Starocci who won his fifth individual National title and the other being Mitchell Mesenbrink.

This incredible run that Penn State wrestling on right now is still something I can not wrap my brain around on. I mean holy crap are these guys good, to me, wrestling is one of the toughest sports in the world and to see just one team dominate like the Nittany Lions have truly is inspiring to watch.

I will say this again, whenever this run is over, the people at Penn State better appreciate what these guys have accomplished. Whether it be David Taylor, Bo Nickal, Aaron Brooks, Carter Starocci, you name them, Penn State has created a Dynasty like no other. Congrats to the Nittany Lions on another NCAA Title.

But that wasn't the only news in wrestling, oh no as Wyatt Hendrickson of Oklahoma State pulled off a major upset over Gable Steveson within the final seconds. Congrats on the win Hendrickson.

Well wrestling season is officially done for now, but soon we will be right back to some college basketball action. But overall, wrestling was pretty amazing to watch this season and I can not wait for the next one.

Until Next Time!

God Bless and Be Safe Everybody! 🙏🙏🙏

2009 Lewistown Panthers Baseball

 Well, with me trying to become more positive about myself, I have been looking back into the past and find ways to let go of some of the negative emotions attached to it. One such issue was going back to my time at Lewistown Area High School which as mentioned before was a huge struggle for me.  But again, trying to be more positive, I wanted to look back at that time and remember some of the good moments during that period. One of which was playing for the Lewistown Panthers baseball team. Heading into my senior year of high school, I wasn't in the best state of mind. Honestly, I really did not want to be there anymore, I was just so sick of life, never thought I was going to be anything. All I ever was going to be was a huge disappointment. I can only give credit to God for being able to get through that year. But then baseball tryouts came along and I decided to go for it again. The previous years I've tried only to fail, which in fairness, wasn't much of a surprise bec...

The Wacky Adventures Of Joshua and Chad: McVeytown Eagles Championship Parade!

Image
Well tonight was a pretty special night down here in McVeytown as Chad and I along with many other people who live here in McVeytown all came together to celebrate a special accomplishment. And that was how all three of the McVeytown Eagles teams made it to the CKYFL championship games. Winning in both the Peewee and Midget divisions and placing second in the Mighty Mights. Stuff like this doesn't happen often in such a small town where I live so to see these kids have the time of their lives during the parade was certainly a sight to see. One of the things I love about covering sports is when I see kids learn, work hard and turn it into success. And these kids were learning a lot throughout the season and watching them grow and not only become better football players, but better people as well.  Which is why I have really enjoyed covering the CKYFL these last few years for Hometown Sports. People like Travis McCullough who is the President of the league along with Adam Weaver, Rob...

Nick is a local mechanic who has been serving this community for many, many years and has always been a generous, hard worker and honorable person at the Dickson's Garage along with his father Ken. He and his father are also local racing legends around here in Mifflin County having raced for a couple generations now. Nick and his family have always been honest with me and my family and has helped take care of our vehicles for many years. They are amazing,  hardworking people who now need our help. And according to the go fund me page that was set up by Andrea Baker and Valeri Thornburgh. The doctors had told his family that it will take months at minimum for him to be able to recover and will not be able to work for the foreseeable future. Please support anyway you can for the Dickson family in their time of need. ...
