Correction

Preview capsules that appeared in Tuesday's Intelligencer Journal/Lancaster New Era sports section incorrectly credited the source for Lancaster-Lebanon League girls' basketball history notes. Staff writer Jason Fulginiti provided the notes. In the same article, the incorrect year was given for Lampeter-Strasburg's last appearance in the L-L field. The Pioneers last appeared in 2011.

Wysock returns to Bulldogs

Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology announced Tuesday that Joe Wysock, former head football coach and Thaddeus Stevens College Hall of Fame inductee, will return this year as the Bulldogs' head coach.
