Lincoln Park Over Hampton 74-53 To Advance To State Finals: Monday 3/18/2024

Story by Ryan Gerazounis, Beaver County Radio

(Wexford, PA): 

Only one game stood between the Lincoln Park boys high school basketball team and a second consecutive trip to Hershey. It was a familiar opponent that the Leopards eliminated from the WPIAL playoffs last month, the Hampton Talbots. If Lincoln Park defeated the Talbots on Monday evening they would get an opportunity to defend their 2023 state title on the Thursday night.

The first quarter was neck and neck, with the Talbots leading most of the way behind the offense of Liam Mignogna. Until the Leopards future Pitt Panther, Brandin Cummings started to heat up. Cummings hit three consecutive three’s to give his team a 17-16 advantage and some much needed momentum after one quarter. Stepping it up in the second quarter the Lincoln Park Leopards started on a 17-2 run, holding Hampton to only eight points all period. Giving the Leopards a 41-24 lead at halftime.

After the break Hampton was able to keep it somewhat competitive by only being outscored by Cummings and company 16-13 in the third quarter. Trailing the reigning state champions 57-37 with one quarter left to be played. With a chance to return to Hershey, Lincoln Park put their foot on the gas the rest of the way. Scoring by Meleek Thomas, Mikey Crawford, Dontay Green and Rhaki Lum in the fourth quarter was more than enough to slam the door shut on Hamptons’ season and walk away with a 74-53 victory.

With the win, the Lincoln Park Leopards return to Hershey on Thursday with a shot at winning back to back state gold. Their opponents will be Archbishop Carroll, they beat Scranton Bishop Prep 66-56. Tip off for the 4A State Championship game will be 8pm.

Brandin Cummings lead all scorers on Monday night with 30 points. Followed by Meleek Thomas with 18 points. For Hampton Liam Mignogna lead the way with 23 and his teammate Peter Kramer finished right behind him with 22.

Bernie Sanders wants the US to adopt a 32-hour workweek. Could workers and companies benefit?

The 40-hour workweek has been standard in the U.S. for more than eight decades. Now some members of Congress want to give hourly workers an extra day off. Sen. Bernie Sanders this week introduced a bill that would shorten to 32 hours the amount of time many people in the U.S. can work each week before they’re owed overtime. The far-left independent from Vermont says U.S. companies can afford to give employees more time off without cutting their pay and benefits given advances in automation, robotics and artificial intelligence. Critics say a mandated shorter week would force many companies to hire additional workers or lose productivity.

PEMF is the the type of therapy that Hooves and Paws performs weekly on Maize to help her with pain and inflammation from the incident that she experienced.

In total, over $500 was raised for the 10 month old Maize’s ongoing vet care, food, and supplies she will need.

Matzie: Ambridge Area School District awarded more than $583,000 to promote safe, healthy learning environment

AMBRIDGE, March 15 – A $583,370 grant to the Ambridge Area School District will help school officials ensure students and staff enjoy a safe, supportive learning environment free of threats, bullying or violence, Rep. Rob Matzie, D-Beaver, announced today.

Matzie said the funding – awarded through the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act – will allow school administrators to ensure that policies and programs include a focus on student and staff social, emotional, physical and mental health.

“We know a safe, supportive environment is essential for learning, but it takes resources and planning to create and maintain the kind of healthy, inclusive settings that give students and staff the peace of mind they need to focus and thrive. The new funding is going to allow school administrators to engage with families and the community and shape policies and programs that promote that kind of healthy environment.”

The funding was awarded under the Stronger Connections Grant program, which focuses on districts or schools that meet “high need” criteria such as a high poverty rate, a lack of available mental health supports for students, high rates of violence or school exclusion.
