We’re a month away from the fall high school sports season kicking off with two-a-day practice sessions. Plus, we still have coverage of the Blue Mountain League baseball<\/a> championship series and brand-new Grandview Speedway racing<\/a> events still to come in August.<\/p>\n

Before that takes place, we will be taking a few weeks of R&R (and a few weeks away from The SportsTalk Shop<\/em><\/a>) to gear up for what promises to be a very busy next 10 months on the Astound TV Network<\/em>.<\/p>\n

We will leave you with a few more salutes to different sports champions’ and student athletes’ accomplishments from this past year in the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference<\/strong> for golf, girls’ volleyball, and boys’ and girls’ cross country, and we’ll be back in a few weeks with more local sports coverage as we move through the summer months.<\/p>\n

Until then, enjoy your summer!<\/p>\n
