5A: Though Allentown Central Catholic High School defeated Dallas High School 61-57, on Tuesday night, they won the game in double overtime.

Thanks for the hoops update. How about the William Allen team? They have come out of nowhere to make a respectable run. Hazleton must have some kind of a good team, I hadn't heard anything about them this year. I'm really behind the CCHS boys and the Southern Lehigh girls, a couple of good local teams that will really need to play well to advance.
William Allen is still in it and barely made playoffs! I wish them great success.
I know that CCHS is facing a very tough opponent on Friday. No bad teams at this stage of the game.
Who cares?
I'm really behind the CCHS boys and the Southern Lehigh girls,
Phrasing!!
1:37, a lot of people follow HS basketball. They care.
Happy St Patrick's Day to a true a true Irshman !. I hope your Grandson's team wins tonight.May God Bless people who wish harm on others.😎
Unfortunately the basketball gods were arrayed against us. I will write a dirge on Saturday.
