Shikellamy tops Selinsgrove for first time since '21

1 week ago | dailyitem.com | Scott Dudinskie

SELINSGROVE — Shikellamy coach Rich Aurand had to stir the energy in his dugout late in Monday's game as the Braves attempted to close out arch-rival Selinsgrove. "It's the seventh inning! A little life!" he yelled, briefly reviving the Indian war cry, which sometimes bordered on turkey call, that had rung out often during a middle-innings rally.

CATAWISSA — Levi Everitt roared as he strode off the mound following his game-ending strikeout Friday. It was a well-deserved, if brief, celebration by the Southern Columbia sophomore, who didn't figure to be around for the last pitch considering how Mifflinburg greeted him in the first inning. kAm%96 G:D:E:?8 (:=542ED AFE 7@FC @7 E96:C 7:CDE 7:G6 32EE6CD @?

As the basketball season neared its end, something bizarre happened in the campaign for Daily Item girls player of the year. The frontrunners for the honor — Shikellamy’s Lily Fatool and Lewisburg’s Maddy Moyers — both scored career-highs in points in their teams’ next-to-last games. kAmu2E@@=[ E96 C6:8?:?8 s2:=J xE6> A=2J6C @7 E96 J62C[ 5C@AA65 c` A@:?ED @? 5:DEC:4E BF2=:7:6C $@FE96C? r@=F>3:2 E@ >2E49 E96 qC2G6D’ D:?8=6\82>6 C64@C5 7:CDE 9:E 3J y@C52? |@E6? :? a_a_] |@J6CD A@FC65 :?
Polcyn fans 11 in key Warrior Run win

TURBOTVILLE — At times Friday it seemed as though Landon Polcyn was purposely raising his degree of difficulty on the mound just so he could come through in the clutch. There were the two errant pickoff throws to first base that moved Hughesville runners to third. There were the three, third-inning walks that filled the bases with Spartans. kAmp?5 :? 6249 :?DE2?46 — H:E9 E96 6I46AE:@? @7 E96 7:CDE :??:?8[ H96? 2 >:DE2<6 A:E49 =65 E@ E96 82>6VD 7:CDE CF? — E96 (2CC:@C #F?

David Langton compiled years of data on opposing batters while serving as Southern Columbia’s pitching coach. “It was to the point where we were so familiar with guys that I didn’t need to reference the scouting reports much against our division teams,” he said. kAm%9@D6 C62>D @7 :?7@C>2E:@?

Brent Beiler saved his best for last in a coaching career that spanned 22 seasons and firmly planted Selinsgrove on the state’s high school baseball map. In his last five seasons with the Seals, they went 97-23 with four district championships and a state title. Beiler won six district crowns overall, including the last three Districts 2/4 Class 5A tournaments. He stepped down after the 2024 season with a 275-199 career record.

Don’t play cards with Mike Myers this spring because the Southern Columbia coach is holding four aces. You see, of the 12 pitchers named Heartland Athletic Conference-Division III all-stars last season, four returned for the Tigers. kAmxE’D 5:77:4F=E E@ 49@@D6 2?J @?6 2D E96 DE277 =6256C[ 2=E9@F89 ;F?:@C r256? w@AA6C 925 2 E62>\36DE 7:G6 H:?D 2?5 2 `]hc t#p :? cb`^b :??:?8D =2DE D62D@?]k^AmkAm|62?H9:=6[ qC64<6?

Like a trip around the basepaths, David Langton’s baseball journey has brought him home. A 2006 Mount Carmel graduate, Langton was tapped to coach the Red Tornadoes following their first district championship season. He is one of five new skippers at Valley programs — marking turnover at the top of one-third of teams in The Daily Item coverage area — and one of two who inherited defending district champions. kAmr=:?E }6:5:8 E@@< @G6C 2E $6=:?D8C@G6 7@C qC6?E q6:=6C[ H9@ DE6AA65 5@H?
