BOYS BASKETBALL TEAM HEADED TO STATES FOR 1ST TIME SINCE 1993!

Three years……that’s how long it took for Head Boys Basketball coach Al Semenza (career wins of 444) to turn the program around! The kids, the parents, the whole community has bought into it too. Everybody you talk to is all excited about the upcoming State Playoff game, which will be on Friday, March 8th, so mark you calendars! We will post all of the information as soon as it becomes available to us.

The Wildcats played Tunkhannock on Tuesday night at Scranton High school and beat them 53-39 to move on to the next round. They were up the whole game and never looked back.

The support of fans at the games has been amazing, lots of friendly faces both old and new. Our fans have definitely been coming out and supporting the team, that’s for sure!
