🏈 Franklin Regional Narrowly Defeated in Homecoming Clash

In a closely contested homecoming game last Friday, Franklin Regional fell just short against North Hills, with a final score of 16-14. Despite the loss, the team showcased their determination and skill on the field.

Kyle Dupill was a standout, rushing for 213 yards and contributing two touchdowns to the team's score. His performance was a highlight in a game filled with intense moments.

The result concluded Franklin Regional's four-game winning streak at home, but the team remains in a strong position with a 6-3 season record. They now turn their attention to the upcoming game against Penn-Trafford, set for this Friday at 7:00 p.m.

🎶 Murrysville's Rock Talks: Where Music Meets Education in Free Community Events

In an innovative fusion of rock music, history, and science, the Murrysville Recreation Department and the Murrysville Community Library have launched "Rock Talks", a series of free community programs designed to engage and educate.

The series promises to be more than just a musical journey. The inaugural session, "Have a Drink on Me: The Science & Songs of Alcohol", slated for January 18 at the local Devout Brewing, will delve into the intricate science behind beer brewing and whiskey distilling. Attendees can expect a rich tapestry of information, interwoven with iconic tracks from legendary bands such as AC/DC and ZZ Top.

A subsequent session on February 6, titled "Credit Where Credit is Overdue", seeks to spotlight the often-overlooked contributions of Black artists to the annals of rock music history. Set in the familiar confines of the Murrysville Community Library, this session promises a deep dive into the legacies of blues and early rock & roll musicians of color, while also giving a nod to contemporary artists.

While the events are open to the public, the organizers encourage potential attendees to register in advance via the Murrysville Library website. However, they also emphasize that walk-ins will be warmly welcomed.

The overarching vision behind "Rock Talks" is clear: to offer the community a unique intersection of education and entertainment. By intertwining these elements, the organizers hope to foster a profound appreciation for the cultural significance of rock music.

For those interested in this harmonious blend of music and learning, further details can be found on the library’s website.
