The Ambridge Bridgers knock off the Beaver Bobcats by a score of 70-54. The game started off as a close one going into halftime with the Bridgers up 27-21. After halftime it was a different story when the Bridgers started to pull away in the third quarter taking a 16 point lead going into the fourth quarter. And they just kept pouring it on not allowing the Bobcats the chance to get back in game.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump reacted quickly after the House Judiciary Committee approved two articles of impeachment against him. Using the words he’s embraced nearly every day for weeks, he called the proceedings “a witch hunt, a scam, a hoax.” The charges approved Friday now go to the full House for an expected vote next week. They were approved strictly along party lines, 23 Democrats to 17 Republicans. Trump is accused of abuse of power, a charge stemming from his July phone call pressuring the Ukrainian president to announce an investigation of Democrats as Trump was withholding US aid. He’s also accused of obstructing Congress’ investigation.
