Wellsville’s Diamond Dawgs 16U claims national championship Back in February, the Dawgs 16U travel softball team earned a bid to the 2025 USSSA Eastern Nationals in Ocean City, Maryland, by winning a USSSA National Qualifier. Fast forward to the final week of July, and the Dawgs seized that opportunity—going undefeated across ten games to claim the USSSA 16U National Championship. The double-elimination tournament featured 46 teams from across the East Coast, including representatives from Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. The Dawgs finished pool play with
bracket play. Both were named Co-Outstanding Pitchers of the Tournament. Offensively, Teagan Burke and Morgyhn Ross powered the Dawgs’ attack. Burke hit .500 (10-for-20) with four doubles, nine RBIs, six walks, and nine runs scored. Ross also hit .500 (10-for-20) with five doubles, eight RBIs, six runs scored, and a three-run home run. Both were honored as Co-Most Valuable Players of the Nationals Tournament. Jayna Thomas contributed with a .409 average (9-for-22), scoring
a 2-0-2 record, then rolled through bracket play with six consecutive wins to post a 8-0-2 tournament record and capture the title. Tournament action kicked off Monday afternoon and culminated in the National Championship game on Saturday morning.

500 turn out for Allegany Co. Office of Aging picnic BY KATHRYN ROSS
ANGELICA — Nearly 500 senior citizens attended the annual Office For the Aging Senior Picnic on Tuesday on the Allegany County Fairgrounds. This annual event gets bigger and bigger each year, Anita Mattison, director of the county Office For the Aging, said. The highlight of the event might be being served chicken dinners by members of the county legislature and other officials — but the most fun seniors had was visiting with old friends and acquaintances and dancing
