Moms are
still Moms
Ask a Baby Boomer – one of those
ubiquitous post-World War II Americans
born between 1946 and 1954 – what are
the greatest societal changes in his or her
lifetime and the role of women is likely to
be at the top of the list.
Many of those Baby Boomers grew up
with a stay-at-home Mom, which are
quickly becoming quaint relics of the
past.
Many of today’s Moms have careers.
Just recently a news story reported that for
the first time more women than men are
enrolled in four-year colleges and ad-
vanced degree programs.
So even more Moms with careers are on
the way and homes where the Mom out
earns the Dad are growing.
But no matter how impressive their ca-
reers and paychecks may be, Moms are
still Moms.

n the inaugural alumni basketball game, Pittston Area led off the
women’s game with a big lead and held on for the win against the
Seton Catholic women. The younger Lady Patriots utilized their
speed and youth by converting on many fast break lay-ups. The Seton
Catholic women fought hard until the end, never giving up.
The men’s game was a battle back and forth throughout the whole
game. There were many ties and lead changes.
With the score tied 61-61 each team had its chances to win the
game. Both teams had great looks at the basket but could not convert.
In true sportsmanship spirit and respect the guys ended the game as
gentlemen with the game ending in a tie.
The Pittston Area girls basketball team, coaches and booster club

Lady Patriots blast Valley West for first win


Pittston Area scores eight late for 14-6 victory
By Rick Notari
Dispatch Staff

Pittston Area scored eight


times in the bottom of the sixth to
win its first game of the season, a
14-6 decision over Wyoming
Valley West on Friday afternoon
at the Bucky Harris Sports Com-
plex in Hughestown.
The Lady Patriots trailed early
as the Lady Spartans scored four
in the top of the first. But PA an-
swered with three in the bottom
half of the opening stanza, and
later tied the score at 5-5 with two
runs in the bottom of the third.
Valley West took the lead with
one in the fifth, but Pittston Area
answered with a run in the bot-
tom half to set the stage for its big
sixth inning.
Grace O’Neill had the big hit
for the Lady Patriots with a three-
run triple. The junior first base-
man also added a single.
Ali Slomba added two hits and
two RBI for PA, and Antoinette
Scialpi went 3-for-5 with three
runs scored.
Kelly Keener also smacked
two hits for the Lady Patriots and
Marissa Nardone chipped in
with a triple.
