Saturday, March 23
Bethlehem Catholic High School’s bid for its first-ever girls state basketball title ended unsuccessfully Saturday night in Hershey. The Golden Hawks lost the PIAA Class AAA title game 53-38 to the South Park Eagles—another team that had never won a state title.

BeCaHi girls played in one state championship game 20 years ago, losing to Pittsburgh North Catholic. BeCaHi sophomore Kalista Walters was superlative in defeat, …

State Sen. Lisa Boscola aims to decriminalize small sports betting pools, touts legislation she introduced a year ago.

Lisa Boscola, D-18, is hoping to decriminalize a “harmless” March Madness tradition in the Keystone State with a bill she introduced a year ago. Boscola reiterated her position on small sports betting pools on the Senate floor in Harrisburg on Wednesday, according to a news release from her office. “These pools are available in nearly every social club or bar you go to—and copying machines are churning out NCAA brackets from Easton to Erie,” Boscola said. “With most …
