Sayre Redskins

The opening day of the PIAA District 4 Track and Field Championships delivered fast times, record-breaking performances, and dramatic competition Thursday, May 14, as athletes across Classes AA and AAA battled for district medals and coveted spots at next week’s state championships.

The 8th Annual Northwest Area Track Invitational delivered a full slate of standout performances across sprints, distance events, relays, and field competitions. With deep fields and strong early-season marks, several athletes established themselves as names to watch this spring.

The Northern Tier League has announced their 2024-25 Softball All-Star teams.

Old Forge dominated from start to finish, rolling past Sayre 63-31 in the PIAA 2A state tournament opener. The Blue Devils' hot shooting, led by Cameron Parkers 22 points (four threes) and Camren Krushnowskis 11 (three threes), fueled a commanding 40-16 halftime lead. Old Forge hit nine total three-pointers to Sayres two, with Ryan Ressler (8 pts) and Hudson Trump (7 pts) leading the Redskins. With sharp shooting and strong defense, the Blue Devils made a statement as they advance in the postseason.

With the victory, Northwest moves on to the District 4 2A Championship, where they will face Muncy, who defeated North East Bradford later in the evening. The championship game promises to be a thrilling matchup as Northwest looks to build on their semi-final win and secure the district title. Northwest beat Muncy twice during the regular season and will look for a third while also bringing home the District championship.
