SPORTS
Hawks fall to Nazareth
A 21-point loss in the EPC wrestling championship
Saturday night is not what Bethlehem Catholic faithful are used to. Nazareth’s
40-19 thumping over the Golden Hawks was the first league title for the Blue
Eagles, as they head into this weekend’s District 11 3A tournament as the top
seed. Who will finish as the district champion will be the million dollar
question heading into Freedom Saturday night.

Reel classics
Often the popular music
of our time becomes the masterpieces for people living 200 years or more in the
future. Music that we perhaps might consider as entertainment now could become
the core orchestral repertoire of the next century.
