Hornets take down Sayre, winning 32-7

The Wellsboro Varsity Football team scored 32 unanswered points in a 32-7 win over Sayre on Friday, September 25.

“I’m very happy with how the offense performed,” Hildebrand continued. “We spread the ball around to a bunch of different guys tonight and that’s always good because it makes us that much harder to defend. We lost a little intensity in the second half and we didn’t push as much as we could have and we need to improve on that and clean up the penalties.”

The Hornets were penalized 13 times for 115 yards on the night.

“We’ll watch film, get back to the drawing board and clean things up. Everything is all there, we just have to put it together,” concluded Hildebrand.

Defensively, junior Parker Jones led the Hornets with 13 tackles and a sack. Tremper added 12 tackles, sophomore Collin Pietropola had 8 stops, and Henry had an interception.

Next week, the Hornets return home for a NTL Division 1 matchup with Athens on Friday, October 2 at 7:00 p.m.

Dunham’s Corner – 110th Anniversary!

Today’s broadcast-feature celebrates the 110th Anniversary of Dunham’s Department Store. It’s the latest edition of Dunham’s Corner with your host, Ann Dunham Rawson.

Ann takes us through a fascinating local history lesson. We get to enjoy and appreciate some very old photos that help tell the Dunhams’ story. The first photo shows the Dunham’s location on Main Street between 1905 and 1913. Ann also shares a shot of the original R.J. Dunham grocery store. (The photo was taken about 1909.) We see Ann’s Great Grandmother, Great Grandfather and others in the photo. The building was destroyed by a fire in 1913.

Back to Basics – Choosing Good Friends

On today’s feature Pastor Mike White talks with us about the importance of good friendships. This is an extremely important topic to consider. It can make the difference between experiencing a life of love, joy, true peace and happiness verses a life of emptiness, anger, frustration and sadness.

Here’s a question for you. Who are the people you spend time with on a regular basis? Now that you have them in your mind… who are they really? What kind of people are they? What do they stand for? What do they like to do? Do they tend to encourage you? Does it make you a better person to be in their presence? Do they lift you up or pull you down?
