Penn State’s catcher and DH are named to the All-Mid-Atlantic Region Team.
Penn State Abington seniors Bill Parave and Mike Kerns have been named to the D3Baseball.com All-Mid-Atlantic Region Team earlier this week. Parave, a designated hitter, earned first-team honors and Kerns, a catcher, landed a spot on the second team. Here’s a bit about both players: Parave, of Pennsauken, N.J., earned first-team recognition as a designated hitter after excelling at both third base and on the mound for the Nittany Lions. A First Team All-NEAC Conference selection at first base and pitcher, and NEAC Player of the Year, the senior set a Penn State Abington record this season since joining the NEAC by reaching base safely in 22 consecutive games; he also had eight multiple-RBI games. He led the Nittany Lions by batting .399, …
The Rydal-Meadowbrook Civic Association will hold a panel discussion on the future of the township at Penn State Abington on Friday.
Joy Pollock, a member of the Rydal-Meadowbrook Civic Association, has been an Abington resident for a little over ten years. She’ll gladly say that Abington is a quality place to live, but said the township’s growth is stagnant despite housing some really big institutions. Pollock, and others, are likely hoping that a panel discussion called “Abington’s Next Century: Innovation and Growth Initiative” will help spur some forward thinking when it comes to the local economy. “Abington, many times, gets awards for being ‘very livable’ and a ‘best place to live’ and blah, blah, blah," Pollock said. "It’s all true, and if you live here, you feel that way, however, we’re not seeing growth in Abington and yet we have Penn State University and …

Residents who live adjacent to Memorial Field hit up the school district administration building Wednesday night to sit in on a progress report regarding the property.

Mischa, thank you for writing this and informing the area about this project. I live right up the street and use the track and fields often. Im looking forward to taking advantage of the new fields, but not being taken advantage of so that A.S.D. and PSU Abington get what they need at our expense. I laugh at the word adequate since the parking is used for PSU students already and that in … more ›
