Community members in the Central Bucks School District are in a heated debate over the COVID-19 safety plans for this fall, which boiled over Tuesday evening before the school board meeting.

The 1997 Royals were a zombie franchise. The franchise that was once a crown jewel and a champion a decade before were now set adrift, without an owner or any sense of direction. The team was ostensibly in a youth movement, but seemed focused on adding veterans to prop up a Potemkin village for a potential new owner. The result would be one of the worst seasons in franchise history.
