North Penn didn't want season to end the way it was headed | Exclusive

All seemed well right around the midway point of the season. Perennial-power North Penn , the reigning PIAA District One Class 6A champion, sat at 4-2 and seemed headed for another high seed in the district tournament.

Bucks and Montgomery counties have hundreds of unclaimed dead Dr. Janine Darby learned about the unclaimed dead numbers while attending a 2023 ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new coroner offices in Eagleville. While touring the center, she found the room where the cremated remains of those whose deaths had been investigated by the coroner’s office were stored. It bothered her.
