In a game full of defense and turnovers Freedom and River Valley played an exciting basketball game that was broadcast here on Beaver County Radio, the game was controlled by Freedom in the first half getting shots and rebounds and getting through River Valleys tuff full court press. That all changed in the third quarter when river valleys press started to take affect on the lady Bulldogs, which Freedom turned the ball over more than 11 times and only scored 3 points with 3 minutes left in the 3rd River Valley had now taken a 5 point lead. Freedom was able to close it to 39 38 and in the 4th keep it in a very up and down game with many lead changes right down to the final minute it was a total team effort and the Freedom Lady Bulldogs win and they will meet North Catholic for the 4th time this season.

Stampede to file before deadline for Pennsylvania primary

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Candidates are down to the final hours before the deadline to file paperwork to get on Pennsylvania’s primary ballots, as large fields are shaping up for the open governor’s office and U.S. Senate seat. Tuesday’s 5 p.m. filing deadline to make Pennsylvania’s May 17 primary ballot also applies to races for lieutenant governor and Congress. This year’s election is the first time in decades that Pennsylvania has its governor’s office and a U.S. Senate seat on the same ballot with no incumbent running. That has sparked heavy interest in contests that are viewed as wide open. Almost 20 candidates have filed for those two offices alone.

SCRANTON, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania’s former top state prosecutor was arrested over the weekend and is expected to be formally charged with driving under the influence. Scranton police said Monday that 55-year-old Kathleen Kane was involved in a two-vehicle crash in the city at about 6:30 p.m. Saturday. Police haven’t released details about the crash. Until charges are filed there’s no paperwork with information about the investigation. Kane, 55, was the first Democrat and remains the only woman to have been elected as the state’s attorney general. While in office, she leaked grand jury documents about a civil rights leader and a jury found she lied to the grand jury investigating the leak. She served more than eight months.
