The free desk finally has the long Crispin write-up in one place.
EasternPAFootball carried Mitch Rupert’s full recap of Wilkes-Barre Area’s 22-12 win at Crispin — the same night the Citizens’ Voice and Times Leader covered behind the paywall. Decker was out. The Wolfpack ran the perimeter. Brady Cleaver still found the end zone twice. The piece also walks through the half-clock mess and the inadvertent whistle that wiped a fourth-quarter fumble recovery. Curry told the paper Wilkes-Barre Area earned it.
On the state board, EasternPAFootball’s Class 4A rankings through Sept. 20 put North Pocono fifth at 4-0 after the Valley View win. Shamokin is first. Berwick is still outside that top five after falling to 2-2.
The radio call from Crispin is already on YouTube. Still no public video. Friday the Dawgs go to Pottsville at 7 — NEPA lists Listen, and NFHS Network has the subscription stream page.
