What Local and High School Sports Coverage Does Times Leader Offer?

Updated

Times Leader covers local sports through dedicated sections for high school athletics, local and college teams, and professional leagues, and it gives readers a way to submit scores and sports news. The high school coverage is organized by sport, so you can go straight to the page for football, basketball, baseball, or another sport instead of scrolling through a general sports feed. This is useful if you follow a specific team or want to report a result from a game.

High School Sports, Organized by Sport

The site lists high school sports as separate categories. Based on the site's navigation, the sports covered include:

  • Baseball
  • Basketball
  • Cross Country
  • Field Hockey
  • Football
  • Golf
  • Ice Hockey
  • Lacrosse (boys and girls)
  • Soccer (boys and girls)
  • Softball
  • Swimming
  • Tennis
  • Track and Field
  • Volleyball (boys and girls)
  • Wrestling

Because each sport has its own listing, the fastest way to find a game result or preview is to choose the sport first, then look for the school or team. If you are submitting a score, check whether the sport has its own submission path before using the general sports news form.

Local and College Sports

Local sports has its own section, separate from the high school listings. College coverage is grouped under "All College Sports," with specific pages for college basketball and college football. Penn State also has a dedicated entry, and the local sports section includes the RailRiders and the Penguins. This means you can follow a local minor-league team, a major college program, and a professional team without leaving the sports section.

Professional Coverage

Professional leagues listed on the site include:

League Coverage listed
MLB Yes
NBA Yes
NFL Yes
NHL Yes
Golf Yes
Auto Racing Yes
Tennis Yes
Outdoors Yes

These are general league pages rather than team-specific ones, so expect broader coverage rather than a single-team feed.

Submitting Scores and Sports News

The sports section includes two submission entries: "Submit Scores" and "Submit Sports News." Use "Submit Scores" for game results and "Submit Sports News" for story tips, announcements, or other sports information. The site also has a general "Submit News Tip" form under its news section, but for sports the dedicated forms are the more direct route. Before submitting, have the final score, team names, and date ready so the submission is complete on the first attempt.

Practical Notes

  • The site's navigation also links to an e-edition and a subscription page, so some content may sit behind a subscription or login. The available site information does not specify which sports articles are free, so check the article page itself.
  • If you are looking for a specific school, start from the sport page rather than the general sports landing page; the sport-level listings are the most granular organization shown.
  • For obituaries, classifieds, or letters, those are handled in separate sections and are not part of sports coverage.
