One game after being held hitless by Waynesboro's Dylan Bryan, Greencastle-Antrim rebounded in spectacular fashion, collecting 12 runs on eight hits en route to a decisive 12 - 1 victory over James Buchanan on Tuesday afternoon. “There's a certain style of pitcher that we have been struggling against,” Greencastle head coach Eric Shaner said. “We wanted to look for their pitch early in the count and not get cheated late in the count.” That mindset worked for Shaner and the Blue Devils as Greencastle worked six walks against the Rockets' pitching staff throughout the game, including four from starting pitcher Sloane Bendell.

Staff Correspondent WAYNESBORO, Pa. - In a season of misfortune, the losses keep piling up. It was no different Friday as the Waynesboro girls basketball team took a first-quarter lead, only to let it slip away, eventually falling 49-32 to James Buchanan. The Rockets' Cheyenne Carbaugh was the key figure in the victory, dominating the paint and the offensive glass, to score 19 points - including 13 from the foul line. She started the effort by cleaning up the offensive glass early and often.

The six-year wait for a conference title is over for Waynesboro's baseball team. For six years, the Indians have been nesting in the depths of the Mid-Penn Colonial - always the bridesmaid, never the bride. Now, the Indians stand taller than anyone else in the Colonial as they clinched their first division title since 2007 with an 8-1 victory at James Buchanan on Friday afternoon. “It feels good,” Waynesboro coach Greg Chandler said. “It's a great win for our whole school, not just our baseball team.

A lot of schools have art shows, but James Buchanan High School might just be the only one to offer two tractors doing the tango. Tractors circled and shimmied behind the school during the fourth annual Arts in Action. Held Thursday evening, the event featured fine arts, music, dance, robotics, a flight simulator, poetry, a farm display and yes, tractor dancing. “We have something for everything,” said Anita Shively, an art teacher who organized the event. Shively spent more than two decades teaching elementary art before transferring to the high school.

Elizabeth Ward has shown extreme poise in her freshman year inside the circle for Greencastle. That didn't change on Wednesday in a seven-inning performance, while allowing one run on six hits in a 5-1 win over James Buchanan. The Blue Devils made the outing stand up with a five-run fifth inning. Riding high after a recent 3 - 2 victory over Shippensburg, James Buchanan - led by Hannah Bingaman and Shania Fogelsonger - had rocketed to a 5 - 0 start in the Mid-Penn Colonial. But the Rockets didn't faze the freshman.

On Nov. 27, 2012, Carley Shaffer heard the familiar sound of an incoming text on her cellphone. Nonchalantly, the 14-year-old James Buchanan High School freshman picked up her phone thinking it was a routine message from her friend. But, it was anything but routine. “It was my friend telling me he didn't see any reason for living,” Carley said. “I was scared (that) if I didn't do something about it, nobody would and I wasn't going to see him the next day,” she remembered.
