On May 7 and 8, Stroudsburg and the rest of the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference headed to Whitehall High School to compete in the 2025 EPC Championship Meet. Heading into the event, Stroudsburg was 4-3, both boys and girls.  Ready for a strong meet, sophomore sprinter Keyen Johnson,’27, opened up with a strong second-place finish in the EPC in the 200m, running a 22.38. Johnson has been a top sprinter for the boys and poses a strong argument for the best, being the only sprinter on the team to place this year.  The girls took over this meet, seeing the EPCs’ top sprinter Alena Murray,‘25, run a 12.02 100m to take first place, while in the 200m, Julia Grant, ‘26, also took first. Grant ran a 24.87, PRing to bring that gold medal home. Not only did Grant take home the 200m title, but she also took gold in the 400m. Running a 55.87 in her event, she smoked the competition, becoming one of the most decorated girls’ athletes Stroudsburg has ever seen. 

DELAWARE WATER GAP, MONROE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Girl Scouts are known for helping the community and selling cookies, but embracing bats? That is exactly what is behind a local Girl Scout's mission in the Poconos. Kendra Collins is not supervising a major construction project, but she hopes what she is teaching girls to build brings major benefits. "It really goes back to loving the unloved, you know, because people don't like bats. They're scary, you know," said Kendra. But those wing-thinged, flying mammals are beneficial to the environment. Bats consume large amounts of insects, including many agricultural pests. They are also considered crucial in pollination and spreading seeds. "There used to be, like, millions upon millions of bats," Kendra explained. But that was before a virus called "white nose syndrome" emerged nearly two decades ago.It decimated the bat population, especially in Pennsylvania.
