School Sports Week in Review

The North Penn softball team keeps finding different ways to win.

After picking up 6-0 victory over Souderton to start the week, the Maidens went to extra innings before beating Hatboro-Horsham in eight innings, 2-1.

When the Maidens faced Ridley in non-league action on Thursday, it took a suicide squeeze to end a 10-inning marathon.  North Penn took home a 3-2 win as Michelle Rauch laid down the squeeze bunt in the extra frame.

The North Penn baseball team is now 6-2 after splitting a pair of games this week.  North Penn downed Souderton, 3-1, before losing to Central Bucks South, 8-3.  The Knights are now 6-2 overall and 5-2 in conference play.
