The Panthers' conquest in the 93rd meeting of the Upper Bucks County teams was the second in a row, following last year's 21-0 win.
For more on the one-sided effort, read Drew Markol's story in The Courier Times and this from Suburban One Sports.

Samantha Kuntz has written two books and has two more in the works
During Carrie Marriott’s social studies class at the Sixth Grade Campus, the discussion turned to economics and entrepreneurship with an assignment to create a business. It just so happens, one of her students, Samantha Kuntz, had already done just that as a two-time self-published author with another two books in the works.
“The class was so impressed,” Ms. Marriott said. “All of our students got to see that you can take an idea and pursue it. It’s a great, real-life lesson.”
Samantha, 11, has written two ABC books, which list each letter of the alphabet and one of her drawings plus a positive phrase that goes along with the letter. The first is titled “The Cue Cue’s Be Amazing Alphabet Book.” The second is “The Cue Cue’s Your Beautiful Aquatic Animals Alphabet Book.”
Ty'Lain Rotenberger: UBCTS student of the month
Ty'Lain Rotenberger, a Quakertown Community High School senior, has been named Student of the Month for November at Upper Bucks County Technical School. He is a first honors student in the UBCTS Construction Technology program.
Last year, Ty'Lain won the SkillsUSA District Competition in Job Skill Demonstration A, and advanced to the SkillsUSA State Competition at Hershey. This year Ty'Lain will compete again in either the Job Skill Demo or Building Construction competitions with the hopes of making it to States again.
In October, Ty'Lain was selected to represent SkillsUSA District 11 as the student speaker at this year’s Annual Leadership by Example Breakfast, attended by more than 100 regional leaders in business and industry.
M&W Precast of Ottsville employs Ty'Lain as part of his Cooperative Education Program. He has been working at M&W as an entry-level construction assistant since August. Ty'Lain’s main job responsibilities include setting up wall panels for concrete pouring, troweling concrete, and cutting and building-specific items for the building department.
QCSD aides continue to inspire student success
“It meant the world to me,” Mrs. Honrado said. “It was so special. It made my week.”
Mrs. Honrado is an instructional aide at Quakertown Community High School. And that interaction with football player John Eatherton, who thanked her for “being a positive influence in school and always smiling,” “meant the world to me,” she said.
It’s the type of magic moment aides in the Quakertown Community School District often receive as they make a positive difference in the lives of students, some of whom have a 504 and/or an Individualized Education Program (IEP).
More on how aides make a difference.

Neidig honors the career of crossing guard
Neidig Elementary School recently celebrated the 26-year career of crossing guard Mary Ann Gluck with a leadership assembly. Ms. Gluck has been keeping Neidig’s students safe for 26 years!
During the celebration, Wayne Codner, the Mayor of Richlandtown, spoke about what she has meant to the community.
Thank you Ms. Gluck!!!
Race for education leads to a sticky situation
Neidig’s 14th Annual Race for Education was a huge success. The school’s main fundraiser provides monetary support needed for field trips, assemblies, grade-level activities and other student-centered needs for all students.
Race Day was in October, when students walked for a certain amount of time to earn the donations the school received. As part of the enticement to participate, Principal Scott Godshalk and Assistant Principal Jaime Maddon agreed to be taped to a wall.
As the photo shows, everyone had lots of fun!!!
