In a nutshell: “Our ultimate goal each season is to reach the state tournament,” head coach Wayne Herren said. “We should be able to compete for the conference title, but it will be tough because PA will be one of the top teams in our classification. We have one of the toughest nonconference schedules in the state, which we hope will prepare us for our conference round-robin and postseason.”
