Rochester Girls & Lincoln Park Boys Win PIAA Openers

It was a good day in Lawrence County…for Beaver County Champions.

The two WPIAL champions from Beaver County, the Rochester Lady Rams and Lincoln Park Leopard Boys, came into New Castle High School and took care of business in Round 1 of the PIAA State Playoffs.

Despite a sluggish start and an injury to starting guard Alexis Robinson, the Lady Rams took quick care of the Otto-Eldred Terrors, winning Game 1 of the doubleheader 67-44 in Round 1 of the PIAA 1A playoffs. Tom Hays has the scoring recap:

 

Meanwhile, the Lincoln Park Leopards went wire-to-wire against the Bellwood-Antis Blue Devils from District 6, and advance to the second round of the PIAA 3A Boys’ playoffs with a 73-55 victory at New Castle. Bob Barrickman breaks down the final totals:

PA Lottery machines spent most of the day down due to outage

 

PA Lottery machines spent most of the day down due to outage
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Lottery officials say many machines around Pennsylvania had been offline for most of the day due to a service outage.
Department of Revenue spokesman Jeffrey Johnson said the outage Friday was due to connectivity issues with Verizon’s cellular service at some terminals throughout the state. It only affected machines that use Verizon as their service.
Johnson said that all machines were back up and running as of 4 p.m.
The department got word of the outages around 8 a.m. Around 3 p.m., Johnson said the issue was almost resolved entirely.
The outage came the same day Pennsylvania Lottery officials announced Friday’s Cash 5 jackpot was the highest it’s ever been at $2.4 million.
