A Scranton man is accused of beating up a man in Middle Smithfield Township so severely that it resulted in him going blind in one eye. According to the criminal complaint, Pennsylvania State Police troopers were dispatched to Sky 745 Hookah Lounge on Milford Road on Sept. 13 at 3:15 a.m. on the report of a fight in progress.

Momentum wasn’t on their side heading into Thursday, Nov. 5, so how would head coach Dustin Thomas's team respond? With victory. In the rematch, East went on the road to avenge the Bucket Game loss and defeat Pleasant Valley 17-14, punching its second straight ticket to the District 11 5A Championship, where the Cardinals will face Southern Lehigh. More: Stroudsburg quarterback Jackson Mitchell nears new milestone in second 1,000-yard season East has become known for its offensive firepower under Thomas, but it was the defense that was the edge, recording two interceptions and recovering a forced fumble to create the momentum needed to win. Defensive coordinator Bobby Fox knew that would be needed against a tough opponent like the Bears. “If we’re being honest, they ran all over us the first game,” Fox said. “We made a few slight adjustments to a couple of the packages they ran.
