Questions of the Day for Shamokin Basketball?

Why would Shamokin play Shikellamy on Saturday at 12:30 pm (approx.) for a varsity tipoff? The gym at Shikellamy was 85% full on Tuesday night with a loud playoff atmosphere crowd.

Where was the News-Item coverage with at least a picture or a headline? Southern and Mifflinburg wrestling made the headline with a team dual tournament. Lourdes and Tri-Valley girls were battling for a division lead in the Schuylkill League.

Using Dan Burda to cover a mediocre North Schuylkill (10-8) against Jim Thorpe with a 6-win, 10-loss record???? Plus, the game received the largest photo space.

Shamokin and Shikellamy were both 7-0 in the Heartland Conference and the game went down to the wire. Ouch!!!!!!
