Saucon Valley senior Jeremy Leidich excels at cross country, swimming and track.
Saucon Valley senior Jeremy Leidich originally became interested in competitive running as a student at St. Theresa School, where one of the elementary teachers had started a track program. "I joined that program and loved it right away," he recalled. Unsure as to whether or not he could compete at the high school level of cross country, Jeremy went to the Hellertown Pool to discuss his dilemma with the pool manager and Saucon's cross country coach, Ed Kolosky, who told him to try it out. "Originally I hated it, but after a summer of terrible training I began to improve," Jeremy said. "I loved every moment of my experience as a cross country runner," he added.

The Saucon Valley Panthers (6-12) defeated the Wilson Warriors (6-10) on Wednesday.
On Wednesday, Saucon Valley dealt Wilson's chances to make it to the post-season a blow when Ryan Kern singled on the first pitch to drive in the winning run with no outs in the bottom of the ninth inning. The winning rally began as Joe Schuyler beat out a slow roller to second. Gabe Sinko's bunt was fielded by Wilson pitcher Nick Smith, but his throw to second could not be handled, putting runners on first and second. As Stephen Gahman prepared to bunt the runners to second and third, a wild pitch did the job. Gahman was hit by a pitch to load the bases, setting the stage for Kern's game-winning hit. Lefty Matt Laub picked up the 5-4 win. The Panthers are now 6-12, while the Warriors are 6-10.

How sad... I graduated from Saucon Valley in 1978. I carried a "folding knife", a pocket knife in school from the time I was in 6th grade. All the teachers knew it. If they needed to open something, they often asked me for my knife. Now it's a "prohibited offensive weapon". I know I'm getting to be an "old guy" at 53, but it seems like those were simpler times with a whole lot more common sense. more ›
