State Baseball Champion John Paul II High School Golden Panthers Honored by PA House of Representatives

The Pope John Paul II Golden Panthers baseball team stopped in Harrisburg to visit state Rep. Mike Vereb on its way to winning the state championship in Centre County. The team and Vereb had their picture taken inside the historic chamber of the state House of Representatives.

From Pa. State Rep. Mike Vereb's office:

The players and coaches of the Pope John Paul II Golden Panthers baseball team made history 10 days ago on the main campus of Penn State University by capturing the school’s first state championship since its doors opened in 2010. The state House today in Harrisburg commemorated that accomplishment by adopting a state resolution introduced by Rep. Mike Vereb (R-Montgomery).

“We want these young men to know that their community and the Commonwealth are proud of their accomplishment,” Vereb said.

The Golden Panthers defeated the Harriton Rams 4-2 in the state championship game on June 13 at Lubrano Park’s Medlar Field in University Park.

The game was a rematch of the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association (PIAA) District 1 title game held 15 days earlier. Both schools are from Montgomery County.

“Montgomery County really showed this year that it is overflowing with high school baseball talent,” Vereb said.

The state championship came during Coach John Duffy’s first season with the team. Throughout the season, the Golden Panthers found ways to squeeze out close victories by winning 15 games by two runs or less.

“These guys showed an ability to persevere through adversity and find ways to win,” said Vereb. “On behalf of the state House of Pennsylvania and the people it represents, I congratulate Coach Duffy and the PIAA state champion Golden Panthers.”

Tom Wolf vs. Pa. Democratic Party could spell disaster in November

Tom Wolf is the Democratic nominee in the race for Pennsylvania
governor, but Wolf doesn't seem to be getting along these days with the
leaders of the state Democratic Party. That does not bode well for Wolf,
who spent all of his money trying to win the Democratic nomination and
will need the help of the party to challenge incumbent Republican Gov.
Tom Corbett. But the party leaders have already shot down Wolf's attempt
to hand-pick a new state party chairman.

Soft support for Tom Wolf among Pa. Democratic Party bosses?

It appears the Democratic Party's nominee for Pa. governor doesn't
carry much weight with the party leadership. Tom Wolf's hand-picked
candidate for state party chairman, Katie McGinty, was forced to
withdraw her candidacy when it became apparent the party leaders wanted
someone else. That doesn't bode well for Wolf.

Pa. Legislature sitting on $153M surplus while state faces budget shortfall

When politicians talk about a "surplus" what they really mean is that taxes are too high and the government is taking more of your money than it needs. A classic example is the Pennsylvania Legislature, which is sitting on a $153 million slush fund.
