Corrections

-Claysburg-Kimmel’s Brayden Haney and Northern Bedford’s Nevin Lloyd each made the first team of the East Division of the Inter-County Conference all-star basketball teams.

Their names were inadvertently omitted from a story and list in Monday’s Mirror.

Others omitted on the East side were honorable mention selections Christian Treon of C-K, NBC’s Cavan Lloyd, Tussey Mountain’s Isaiah Gambol and Southern Huntingdon’s Daniel Lessley.

Omitted from the West first team were Carson Janidlo, Carson Jarvis and Matthew Miller of Berlin Brothersvalley; and Logan Sorenko of Windber and Aiden Thomas of Meyersdale.

-Brady Boyd of Alexandria placed second in 10U at 85 pounds in the Keystone State Wrestling Championships. His name was not listed among the many area place-winners in Monday’s Mirror.

Starting at $2.99/week.
