PURCHASE LINE, NORTHERN CAMBRIA FALL SHORT IN PIAA VOLLEYBALL TOURNEY

Both Purchase Line and Northern Cambria bowed out of the PIAA 2A volleyball tournament with first round losses. Purchase Line dropped a tense five-setter to WPIAL third-place finisher Fort Cherry. The Red Dragons took the first set, 25-17, dropped the second and third by scores of 25-22 in both, then won the fourth, 25-23 before dropping the final frame, 15-11. Fort Cherry’s Emily Pfender cranked a kill for what appeared to be the game-winner, with her team surging out onto the court, but a net violation negated the point, so Pfender had to do it again, and did.

Operation Christmas Child sets up Somerset area drop-off locations

Volunteers around Somerset County are preparing to collect Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts during National Collection Week, Nov. 16–23. Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child has partnered with local churches across the globe to collect and deliver gift-filled shoeboxes to children in need including many who are suffering from war, poverty, disease and disaster. OCC collected and delivered more than 244 million gift-filled shoeboxes to children in more than 175 countries and territories in that time. OCC hopes to reach 12.8 million children in 2026. Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse that collects shoeboxes filled with fun toys, school supplies, and personal care items, and delivers them to children in need around the world to demonstrate God’s love tangibly, said Mindy Singo, local area coordinator who leads the Operation Christmas Child project across Somerset County, in an email. For many of these children, the gift-filled shoebox is the first gift they have ever received, she said. “Shoebox gifts may seem simple, but they have an eternal impact. Each box is an opportunity to tell a boy or girl in need about the true meaning of Christmas,” said Franklin Graham, president of Samaritan’s Purse, in a press release. “I’ve
