Honesdale football falls to Valley View in District 2 quarterfinals

HONESDALE — A season that began with so much promise has come to a heartbreaking end for the Honesdale football team. On Friday, Nov. 6, the Hornets hosted Valley View in their first-ever District 2 home playoff game. But sadly for an overflow crowd at the Daniel J. O’Neill Sports Complex, the visiting Cougars simply had too many offensive weapons. Despite big plays from Gabe Duda, Abe Bryant, Jacob Ramos and Dontae Joseph, Honesdale suffered a 42-21 loss in the District 2 quarterfinals. Valley View scored in every quarter en route to the upset, thanks in large part to stellar performances from quarterback Colin Dempsey, wideout Cash Roe and running back Ben Evans.

Is ‘Hershey’ a True Story? The Real Milton and Kitty Hershey Behind Angel Studios’ Movie

Yes, mostly. Angel Studios’ Hershey, in theaters November 25, 2026, is built on the real life of Milton S. Hershey, the Pennsylvania candymaker who went broke before he got rich, and his wife Catherine, who everyone called Kitty. The Hershey true story is stranger and sadder than a chocolate-bar origin tale has any right to be, and the movie keeps most of it. It also adds a villain who never existed.
