The Wacky Adventures Of Josh And Chad: 2025 McVeytown Halloween Parade!

 Yesterday, myself and my twin brother Chad went down to little ole McVeytown for the annual Halloween parade. It is always fun to see the parade because it is always amazing to see people from a small town come together to create such a fun event. 

Of course, things didn't start off so good for me and my twin as we were go our way down the Mattawana hill but were halted by the train. Normally, it wouldn't take too long of a wait for us, unfortunately though we ended up waiting for an hour lol.

I honestly thought we were going to miss our chance to see the parade, but thankfully I got the time wrong and we managed to find a place to park and we were back in business lol.

We got to see some of our friends, some of which were going to be a part of the parade itself. Which to be honest, it is crazy to see them with children of their own. It is just another reminder that time flies and that we should appreciate the time we have.

Seeing the excitement and people going after the candy as it gets tossed out, people from multiple generations just having a great time just really brought a smile to my face. 

Getting to be around great people, like Levi Bilger, the Stivers, the Sunderlands, and so many others was a lot of fun and I hope everyone enjoys their candy.

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...

The 2005 Lewistown Panthers Football Team!

Image
 I recently completed reading my story for Hometown Sports Magazine about the 2005 Lewistown Panthers football team who finally ended a thirty years of losing seasons. In this blog, I wanted to talk about why I wanted to write about this team and how I feel the lessons that were learned about them throughout the year can still be used today.  One of the biggest reasons as to why I wanted to write about this team was because of how much of team these guys were both on and off the field. These guys have played the game of football together for a number of years and it clearly showed. Plus being a youngster, I really didn't know the history of Lewistown Panthers football. I only remember going to games because I remember my cousins playing on the team. But talking about the football team in general, to put it nicely, there wasn't a lot of success. In fact when I started this journey of writing this story, I discovered that Lewistown didn't have a winning season for thirty year...
