S. Carbon leading senior games
The Carbon County Senior Games is proving to be as exciting as ever.
When the games began, the question was, who will capture the commissioners’ cup - the South, consisting of Lehighton and Palmerton; or the North, made up of Jim Thorpe, Panther Valley and Weatherly.
On Tuesday, the seniors took over Baer Memorial Park in Lehighton to compete in the day’s outdoors events.
Who will win this year’s Commissioners’ Cup? We’ll have to wait until Thursday to see.
After Tuesday’s events, the combined scores were South Carbon County, 639; while the North Carbon County seniors have 375 points.
Outdoor events included the Philip Steigerwalt Memorial Walk, softball throw, horseshoes and boccie.
The results for the softball throw were not received as of press time. They will be published with Wednesday’s results.
