If you've ever wondered how we've been able to attend #delhs basketball media days in recent years, Brad always extended an invitation. A class man and a great journalist. We'll miss him greatly!

Personal news: I’m retiring. After 44 years in journalism, tonight is my last night. Thanks to everyone who has helped me so much over the years - athletes, coaches, ADs, readers, everyone #delhs

As I've often said, trying to control where kids play sports is a pointless endeavor when other places will provide a platform for them. It happens and we'd be foolish to think it doesn't happen here. One reason why has yet to be explored fully. - Chris #delhs

According to @PIAASports bylaws, recruiting isn’t allowed at any school: public, private, charter. But several public-school coaches believe programs throughout the Philadelphia Catholic League are bending or breaking the rules. Full story in next tweet. @mwhiteburgh

Can confirm. We were there last night as well, waited forever and there was zero communication.

More than 16 hours after @DSUHornets 41-34 opening football win vs. @StonyBrookFB concluded, still no postgame stats & live stats still say it’s 2nd quarter. Inexcusable for Division I school, as was nobody showing up for postgame presser before media gave up after 90 minutes

Tower Hill's Kalil Riley is offered by Thomas Jefferson and it likely won't be his last offer. One of the players to watch this coming season #delhs
Shawn Werdt@ShawnWerdtJun 27
Congrats to Kalil Riley on picking up his first scholarship offer from Thomas Jefferson! Funny how some D2 programs watched him multiple times and still hesitated. It took Coach Jimmy Riley about 10 minutes to see what was right in front of him. Trust your eyes.
