What a privilege it was two Fridays ago spending the morning at Danville High, fulfilling an invitation to help with senior exit interviews.

MIDDLEBURG — Even scoring twice in the first two minutes of Friday’s District 4 boys lacrosse semifinal, Lewisburg coach Ben Schneider knew the next 46 minutes would be a fistfight against Bellefonte. His intuition, based on recent history with the Raiders, was correct. kAm%96 vC66? sC28@?D 5@5865 2 E9:C5 @G6CE:>6 >66E:?8 H:E9 E96 #2:56CD H96? |:E496== {@C6?K 7:?:D965 @77 2 "F:?? |:4926=D 5:D9 H:E9 2 >:?FE6 =67E E@ =:7E {6H:D3FC8 E@ 2 h\f H:? 2E |:55\(6DE[ 2?5 2 C6EFC?

Like most standout distance runners, Sam Hennett put in a lot of miles on the road, on the track and in the classroom. The Shikellamy senior, an Honor Roll student with a GPA of more than 100, is closing out a stellar track & field and cross-country career in record-setting fashion. He broke the Shikellamy program record in the mile at an invitational a week ago, and heads into the postseason with momentum. kAmw6??6EE :D E9:D H66<’D s2:=J xE6> $49@=2C\pE9=6E6 @7 E96 (66<[ 2?
