What an opportunity for 2 local teams (Johnstown and Central boys) to get a chance to play at Hersheypark Arena this weekend. Even though both are going up against a tough opponent, it will be a great experience regardless to play in an arena of that size and with the history that place has....(Wilt Chamberlain scored his 100 points in that building)

[Tussey Mt. fan]

Wilt actually scored his 100 points in the old Hershey Arena. These games will be in the Giant Center.

[lhacbigfan]

No these are at the old arena....

[sportsfan1000]

lhac fan is right, these games are at Hershey Park Arena, not the Giant Center

[Tussey Mt. fan]

Sorry about that. I was just assuming they were at the Giant Center.

[THE CHOPS]

The Hershey arena is the Oldest Building in North America...

[Dfense wins games]

So if BM wins against North Catholic they will advance to play (the winner of) Jeannette (vs Girard)!

[THE CHOPS]

Yes ! That's correct... The final four in the Western side of the state are left to fight it out...

Here's the line up for this weeks games: Boys & Girls a like....
