High school graduations will remain at the Bob Carpenter Center

ELKTON — Cecil County Public Schools will once again hold its graduation ceremonies at the Bob Carpenter Center in Newark, Del. Two members of the Cecil County School Board voted against it Wednesday evening, but were outvoted with a 3-2 nod in favor of spending $58,590 to rent the Bob Carpenter Center for the 2027 graduations. Joe Ferdinando and Brian Hampton — this was Hampton’s final meeting — voted against the expense, with Hampton noting that coming budget cuts from the state means CCPS might need those funds elsewhere, including a shortage of teacher assistants in kindergarten classes. (Sheila Tome defeated Hampton for the District 4 seat. Hawley decided not to seek re-election. Grant Handley won her seat. Joe Ferdinando and challenger Dominick Mannella are separated by less than 2 percentage points. That race will be determined by a final tally with all ballots counted sometime Friday according to Gary Holmes, chief of the Cecil County Board of Elections) Superintendent Jeffrey Lawson said the individual schools budget about $7,000 on average for the ceremony regardless, so having it off site only adds about $20,000 to the CCPS budget. “Already on the budget doesn’t mean it should be spent,” Ferdinando said.

A change hits Bucks County small-school high school football rankings

As we head into Week 2 of the PIAA playoffs, let's take a look at our latest small-school rankings for the Bucks County area . The small-school rankings are for area teams in Class A, 2A and 3A. We're only ranking the top three teams this time due to the other eligible teams not having enough wins. The big-school rankings (for 4A, 5A and 6A) will be back next week. Here we go: 1. Archbishop Wood (8-3) The Vikings , who are now in Class 3A, continue their impressive roll through the season. After back-to-back losses to 11-0 Great Valley and 9-1 West Catholic, Wood has knocked off Philadelphia Catholic League Blue Division foe Archbishop Carroll twice in the last two weeks. In the regular-season finale, the Vikings notched a 19-15 win over the Patriots and followed that up by blitzing Carroll 31-6 in last Saturday's PCL Class 3A championship game. In that win, senior running back D'Andre Webb dominated by rushing for 264 yards and three touchdowns. Up next for the Vikings is the PIAA District 12 Class 3A title game against 7-2 John Bartram of the Philadelphia Public League at the South Philly Supersite on Saturday (noon). 2.
