Team members include captain Chamberlin, Kenneth Robinsion, John Sloey, Aiden Taylor, Alex Taylor, Zach Amato, Emma Corrado, Jack Luesmann, and Caedon Poe.
The team beat Chestnut Ridge, Bedford, Northern Bedford, and Williamsburg but lost to Altoona and Great Commission.

The next match will be on October 17th against Tyrone, Claysburg-Kimmel, Bishop Guilfoyle A and B, Hyndman, and Tussey Mountain.
“BG is definitely going to be a struggle,” Chamberlin said. “At very east we have to try to say and answer for everything. Even if you’re not right, it’s worth trying.”
