Belle Vernon repeats as 3A state champs, 38-7, beating Northwestern Lehigh

December 9, 2023

Photos by Matt Topper MECHANICSBURG, PA — Repeating is never easy. It comes with the perfunctory pressure of getting everyone’s A-game.

December 7, 2023

Photos by Matt Topper MECHANICSBURG, PA — The game was a formality. It was more of a farewell coronation of a passing king.
