It looked like the Princeton University men’s hockey team was on its way to a nailbiter early in the second period of its recent clash at Brown.

Meg Reilly and her teammates on the Princeton High girls’ basketball team knew they were in for a tongue-lashing last week as visiting Allentown rolled to an early lead.
Coming into the January 15 contest with a 0-10 record, PHS didn’t score a point in the first quarter and trailed 21-0 with 4:49 left in the half.
