Boys basketball team previews
Offseason work translates into postseason results for New Castle.
The Ellwood City boys have been waiting for a breakout season.
The Laurel boys were a roller-coaster team last year.
After an unusual preseason, the Mohawk boys are eager to get back to business.
The Neshannock boys hope to make a big push this season.
The Shenango boys graduated a large chunk of their offense in Colin McQuiston and Jason Kraner.
Girls basketball team previews
The New Castle girls were a young team last year, but are even younger this season.
The lessons were learned last season for the Ellwood City Lincoln girls.
The Laurel girls hoped to build on the momentum generated by last season’s historic run to the WPIAL Class 2A title game.
The Shenango girls believe their program is trending upward.
Getting back in the gym gave Mohawk mixed emotions.
The Neshannock girls don't have any seniors on their roster this year, which usually signals a lack of experience.
The Union girls were a young team last year, but the Lady Scots are even more youthful this season.
The Wilmington girls have a new look on their bench, but it’s a familiar face.
