Warriors only had one hit in a championship loss to the Bears.

Patch editor Alyson D'Alessandro was on the scene snapping up photos from the game, and though the Warriors lost, she was able to capture some nice images of the team as its otherwise-successful season came to an end.

Eagle Scout candidate Matt Pellegrino recently organized a troop of volunteers to right tombstones and to rebuild part of the crypt of the first American-born Lutheran pastor in nearby North Wales.
A weight has finally been lifted off the shoulders of Silas and Barbara Land. All it took was a literal troop of about 30 volunteer scouts, friends, family, business owners and community members, some elbow grease and the determined leadership of Eagle Scout candidate Matt Pelligrino. The tripod and block and tackle helped a bit too. "It allows one man to do the work of 10," said one volunteer. "We've done six or seven so far. Even some doubles." Perhaps more impressive is the refurbishment of part of the crypt of the first American-born pastor to enter the Lutheran ministry: Rev. Jacob Van Buskirk. The 16-year-old Pellegrino, a Methacton High School student and member of Troop 98 in Whitpain Township, was re-righting history in The Old …
