Wrapping Up Sacred Heart

There was a time when there was an NBC affiliate in the Upper Valley that gave terrific coverage to Dartmouth football as well as other Big Green sports. But the local station was absorbed by the affiliate in Burlington, Vt./Plattsburgh, N.Y., and it concentrates its coverage on schools up that way.

Fortunately, WCAX TV, the CBS affiliate in Burlington, does a nice job of including Dartmouth in its sports broadcasts. Here's coverage from Saturday night's solid win over Sacred Heart.

And finally, catching up on a pair you've been watching for 10 years . . .

That Certain Dartmouth '14 is thoroughly enjoying putting her Earth Science degree to work in her stint as a seasonal ranger at Yellowstone National Park. This picture was taken during a presentation at the Helena "Last Chance Community Pow wow" in Helena, Mont. She will be doing educational programming in and out of the park through the end of October, putting her education minor to good work.

That Certain Nittany Lion '16, meanwhile, helped the Penn State golf club to a victory this weekend in the first Atlantic Regional Tournament. He said he gave too many shots away and missed winning an award by one spot but finished ninth overall in the field of 56 to help the Nittany Lions defeat arch rival Pitt by seven strokes and claim the seven-team event.
