The J-Man’s View of District 2: “Almost there”…..and “It’s a trap!”
October 16, 2025 | Jared Samuel
There’s the scene in Star Wars Episode IV where the X-Wings are making their first run to try to destroy the Death Star. The Red Leader keeps saying “almost there” as all of the escorts around him are getting picked off by Darth Vader. How is it that I immediately thought of this when I […]

October 8, 2025 | Jared Samuel
Fall is finally here! And what I mean is, the leaves and that crisp chill in the air that means one thing: high school football!

The J-Man’s View of District 2: And, down the stretch they come!!
October 1, 2025 | Jared Samuel

September 4, 2025 | Jared Samuel
With heavy rain and thunderstorms expected in the area, many wondered whether this game would happen.

July 24, 2025 | Jared Samuel
Over the past few years, the Lackawanna Football Conference’s de-facto Senior Bowl, the Scranton Lions Dream Game, has been a close affair.

Wilkes-Barre Area capitalizes on missed Scranton opportunities, wins 35-7
November 2, 2024 | EJ Samuel
It was a chilly setting at Wilkes-Barre Area High School for yet another battle between NEPA’s equivalent to “twin cities” and it is likely that the wind and cold temperatures played a part in the slow start for both teams. Both teams struggled to get the ball moving, but towards the end of the 1st […]

Many writers are saying a multitude of things about some early success stories in this young high school football season.
