MECHANICSBURG—Loyalsock players filed out of their locker room looking dejected Sunday afternoon. It was a complete 180 from last March when they left the Giant Center, smiling and holding a state championship trophy. But their heads remained high. As well they should. A team with four new ...
Few thought South Williamsport would be among the state's top eight Class AA teams this season. Not even the players. But they sure believe now. Look at the heights this team has scaled. Look at where it is now. Lacey Kriebel scored a game-high 12 points, every Mountie played stellar defense and South led from start to finish Friday at Lehighton High School as it pounded District 1 champion Sacred Heart in the state tournament's second round.

The Minersville crowd roaring and time fading, South Williamsport coach Justin Marnon marveled at what he heard his players saying seconds before they took the court. One quarter remained and South trailed by nine Tuesday. The Mounties made their intentions clear. They have produced a super season and they were not ready to end it. So they made sure it continued. Sofia Casella, Claudia Green and Aleigha Rieppel each scored five fourth-quarter points and South rallied from that nine-point deficit to beat District 11 champion Minersville, 37-35 on its home court in the Class AA state ...
