BOYS CLASS 2A: LOOKING BACK

This classification has not disappointed when it comes to finals matches in recent years.  Last year, after making it to its first-ever WPIAL final, Deer Lakes boys pushed Quaker Valley to the limit in one of the best finals ever played. The Quakers pulled out an overtime victory as future Pitt Panther Dom Reiter hit the game-winner.

Instant Classic: Quaker Valley shines in the big moments to beat Deer Lakes, 4-3, in OT thriller
