After an impressive fourth-place finish at the state tournament two years ago, these boys have been dominant in our area, making the William Penn name very popular. They finished the year with a 29-1 record, including city, district and regional titles. A pizza and ice cream party was held at the club following the state finals for the team, coaches and families. Way to go, guys! We would also like to thank the Ladies Auxiliary who sponsored the party and continue to sponsor such great youth sports teams. So long until next month, and remember to check the board at the club for all the fun upcoming events. Branch 336 Harrisburg, PA by Charles S.
