LEWISBURG — Bryce Bussom shot an even-par 36 over nine holes Wednesday at Bucknell Golf Club to pace Lewisburg in a 176-195 win over Bloomsburg in Heartland Athletic Conference-Division II golf.

Justin Zeigler and Brett Bloom led Shikellamy's charge in a quad-meet sweep of host Central Mountain, Bloomsburg and Montoursville on Tuesday. The runners finished second and third, leading a parade of Braves — nine of the top 16 finishers — to the tape in the boys race. The Shikellamy girls' grouping was also strong with four of the top eight finishers, including Lilyanna Kase and Kendall Aurand finishing second and third, in a split with Montoursville and Central Mountain.

Week one came and went with most games going as expected for the Big Ten. Well, save for Rutgers losing to UMass, the Minutemen’s first win against an FBS team since Oct. 28, 2023. Top-ranked Ohio State, No. 6 Indiana, No. 18 Penn State and No. 22 Iowa all easily took care of business. No. 2 Oregon survived a scare from Boise State and No. 16 Michigan nearly lost to Western Michigan, but a miraculous and very controversial game-winning Hail Mary saved the Wolverines. kAm%96 @?=J @E96C q:8 %6?

Colton Starkoski is turning high-scoring Southern Columbia's two-headed monster into a triple threat. The junior posted a second-half hat trick Tuesday, helping the Tigers break a 1-all halftime tie to beat Mifflinburg 5-1 and remain unbeaten at 4-0-1. That performance gave Starkoski five goals in two games, adding some depth and diversity to Southern Columbia's already potent attack. kAm%96 %:86CD 92G6 2G6C2865 ?62C=J D:I 8@2=D A6C 82>6 :?

As Mark McGinly got ready for his 2 a.m. to 11 a.m. shift at Carr Futures on the 92nd floor of the World Trade Center’s North Tower on Sept. 11, 2001, his roommate and fellow Bucknell University alum Dave Stiegerwald stirred in his bed. “I saw Mark in the kitchen and thought I should get up and tell him to have a good day,” Steigerwald recalled last week. kAmx?DE625[ 96 76== 324< 2D=66A 2?5 2H@<6 9@FCD =2E6C E@ E96 ?6HD E92E 2?
