In some ways, the end of Caitlin Miller's DeSales University basketball career resembles her departure from Northwestern.
Just like high school, Miller leaves the Lady Bulldog program as one of the top rebounders and overall players the school has seen.
Just like her high school team, she leaves a program in goood shape as DeSales has won two straight conference titles, their first since 2000, and is heading into this year's Middle Atlantic Conference Tournament on a 10-game winning streak.
If anyone is proof that when one door closes another opens, it's Bruce Balliet.
About three years ago, Balliet was a student at the former Bishop Hafey High School, aspiring to a career as a Viking football player. But when the Hazleton diocesan school suddenly closed its doors, those plans went awry. That's when the doors opened at Marian High.
For David Lucykanish, there's never been a question whether or not he would be a wrestler.
The Lehighton Area High School senior has a great role model when it comes to the sport. His father, Dave, was a three-time PIAA State qualifier at Palmerton High School and a two-time medalist.
The elder Lucykanish is the Blue Bombers' only State wrestling champion, winning the title at 138 pounds in 1987.
That is a tough act to follow, to be sure, but David has accomplished a lot in upholding the family mat tradition.
Whether they would like to admit it or not, a person usually develops a sweet-tooth at some point in their lives.
It doesn't matter if you are a little kid, an adult or a member of the elderly, there is nothing quite like enjoying a sweet, tasty treat whenever possible.
But like everything else in the world - there is a time and place for everything. Chewing on a chocolate bar at a picnic would be a good idea. Ripping open a bag of candy in a corporate meeting - not so much.
