LATROBE, Pa. (AP) For those who believe, ghosts come in a wide variety of forms: floating orbs of light, haunting voices or, as in the opinion of famed fictional ghostbuster Raymond Stantz, “a full-torso, free-floating apparition.”
As it turns out, so do “ghost kitchens”: food-world phantoms that put emphasis on flavor rather than fright. A ghost kitchen, or virtual restaurant, uses an existing business to create a new menu available almost exclusively through delivery, and frequently through third-party delivery services such as DoorDash, GrubHub, Postmates, Seamless and Uber Eats.

Gavin Owens (45-7) last year qualified for state at 120 pounds, Brandon Hahn (48-2) at 126 and Jimmy Recknagel (40-11) at 152. All are already off to a good start this year, winning individual titles at the seven-team Lakota Pool Tourney.

Owens is a junior this year, Hahn and Recknagel are seniors.
