📰 News we're reading
• Softball Inks Five Recruits During National Signing Week (villanova.com) — Spring City catcher Emma Brotherton is heading to Villanova as one of five newly signed softball recruits. The Owen J. Roberts standout hit .480 over her four-year varsity career and helped her team finish as state runner-up. Coach Bridget Orchard says Brotherton will fill a need behind the plate. 
• Abandoned place in the U.S. you should never visit alone (latination.com) — Pennhurst visitors should stick to authorized tours rather than explore the former institution on their own, a national roundup of hazardous sites warns. The Spring City campus closed in 1987 and now hosts historical tours and a seasonal haunted attraction. Unauthorized entry is trespassing, and deteriorating buildings pose safety risks.
