Pennsylvania high court throws out mask mandate for schools
By MARK SCOLFORO Associated Press
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania’s highest court is throwing out a statewide mask mandate for schoolchildren, raising the prospect that at least some students in the state may soon be allowed to attend classes without a face covering. The state Supreme Court announced its decision on Friday but the court didn’t issue a full opinion that explains their reasoning. The justices upheld a lower court decision that the masking mandate, which also applies to child care facilities, is not valid because it was imposed by Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf’s acting health secretary without legal authorization. The practical impact of the decision will depend on which schools and school districts impose their own masking requirements.
In a game between two well-coached teams, it was a battle until the end. In the first quarter, Central Valley made it down to the two yard line. The 19 yard field goal attempt was blocked. The two teams exchanged blows through three quarters and the score remained 0-0. Both coaches were not afraid to take risks, having confidence in their offensive lines. Finally, in the 4th quarter Landon Alexander, on a 3rd and 12 scored on a 28 yard touchdown run. That proved to be the difference as The Warriors staunch defense kept the Spartans from scoring. Landon Alexander ran for 231 yards, putting him over 4,000 yards for his career, and their defense kept a team that averaged 44 points a game to zero – no small feat.
