Villanova 1 Seed in the NCAA Tournament; Boyd Theater Demolition; Medal of Valor Named for Wilson

Villanova is a number one seed in the NCAA Tournament. The team and fans celebrated at a selection party on campus last night when it was announced that Villanova was seeded first in the East region. The Wildcats will begin their tournament journey on Thursday against Lafayette in Pittsburgh. Temple was snubbed by the selection committee and the Owls instead will play as a #1 seed in the NIT.

On Saturday, demolition of the historic Boyd Theater began. It was a heartbreaking day for the Friends of the Boyd, a group of supporters who fought to save the Boyd, Philadelphia's premier movie house. Fans of the 1928 Art Deco movie palace have been working for decades to save the theater. Last year a deal was struck to protect the Chestnut Street exterior, the foyer, and lobby. The agreement did not save the lavish auditorium.

Over the weekend, final farewells for Philadelphia police officer Sergeant Robert Wilson who was killed in a shootout at a GameStop during a robbery attempt. As a result of his actions, effective immediately, the Medal of Valor in the Philadelphia Police Department will now be known as the Robert F. Wilson III Medal of Valor.
