The Stroudsburg Varsity Boys’ Basketball team drops its fourth straight game by a score of 67-27 to Pocono Mountain West on January 13. The Panthers were red hot straight out of the gate, but Stroudsburg kept it close until the end of the first quarter with a score of 18-9. In the second quarter, West started to pull away going on a 21-3 run to end the quarter with a score of 39-14. Out of the half Stroudsburg couldn’t get anything going and it stayed that way as the West offense was flying around the court and grabbing all the rebounds. By the end of the third quarter, the game was out of reach with the score being 58-21. All of this lead to our final score of 67-27. “ This win hurts a little, as West is one of our biggest rivals. They are a good team and we can perform better. I have faith though, the future of this team is bright.”

On Friday, Jan. 10, 2025, a court case for President-elect Donald Trump was held online for falsifying business records and a sentencing for the same account. In May of 2024, he was found guilty of thirty-four felon accounts of falsifying business records. The case was in favor of E. Jean Carroll, a journalist, to whom Trump was ordered to pay $83 million. Sophie Best ’26, said, “Both Democrats and Republicans will be affected by the actions of their leader. It might be harder for some rules to be made based on what their leader does.” Trump was convicted, however, he was sentenced to no jail time, fines, or probation. “You now have a group of people that may see what the President-Elect did and decide that it’s okay to do the same thing, especially considering nothing will happen to President-Elect Trump,” says Nikolaos Kontos.

In November, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) informed the public that hackers associated with the People’s Republic of China (PRC) were trying to hack our phones. According to Usatoday.com, they were trying to crack America’s “telecommunications infrastructure” in a “broad and significant cyber espionage campaign.” The government reassured that the only victims were individuals involved in government or political affairs. The FBI and CISA will continue their investigation; however, cybersecurity officials have not succeeded in stopping the hackers which is why they have urged smartphone users to stay safe with their information.
