What began with a single cellist expanded to dozens of students playing an array of instruments and singing. The musical flash mob begins about 3 minutes into …

The CR South game, which was scheduled for Friday at 7 p.m., will be played at Monday, Oct. 1 at 7 p.m.
Tonight's Council Rock High School South football game against Pennsbury has been postponed until Monday due to a skin infection outbreak, according to the team's website and a letter from the principal. Principal Albert R. Funk said in a statement that two student football players had confirmed cases of skin infections Thursday afternoon.

Gallo, the Hawks' tight end/defensive end. “We’re coming out of here better and better each week.” Now after nearly two full weeks of practice and a scrimmage under their belts, the Hawks are putting the pieces together for the season opener against pass-oriented Central Bucks South Sept. 2. They have already scrimmaged Spring Ford and Malvern Prep. CB South is up next. One key for South prior to that is the …
