Gabby Hieber blasted a two-run walk-off home run in the ninth and threw a complete game in the circle, leading Wallenpaupack to a dramatic 6–4 extra-inning win over North Pocono.

Wallenpaupack needed just four innings to make a statement. With every starter contributing and the pitching staff nearly flawless, the Buckhorns made it clear they’re ready to be a force this season.

Down eight in the fourth quarter, the Patriots have done what they have done all season, kept on fighting back. Silvio Giardina hit a big three pointer and Aidan Lynn hit key free throws during the fourth quarter to get to Pittston Area to the Mohegan Arena for the first time since 2022 with a 37-33 victory over Wallenpaupack. “I sat them down and I told them we got to keep fighting.” Said Patriots head coach Al Semenza.

Scranton Preps balanced attack and efficient shooting proved too much for Wallenpaupack. Doherty, Martin, and Rossi led the charge for the Cavaliers, while Blanding’s stellar 25-point performance couldn’t save the Buckhorns. Both teams matched in three-point shooting, but Prep’s 3 stars for the night proved to be a bit too much.

The Scranton Lady Knights put on a clinic against Wallenpaupack, led by Chrissy Jacklinski’s 18-point outburst and Rhylee Bell’s dominant double-double. Their teamwork and relentless defense paved the way for a decisive 61-34 victory.

Delaware Valley secured a narrow 62-60 victory over Wallenpaupack, led by Trey Newtons 16 points and key free throws. Sam Wood and Isaiah Berrios added 13 points each, with strong three-point shooting (11 total). Wallenpaupacks Justin Blanding led all scorers with 24 points, while Frank Church hit five three-pointers for 15 points. A dominant third quarter (22 points) helped Delaware Valley hold off a late Buckhorns push.
