McCort ends district title drought in close win over Penns Manor
CRESSON (WTAJ) — Bishop McCort leaned on defense to edge Penns Manor Thursday night in the District 6, 2A Championship game, 54-49.
Timely second half turnovers fueled a few late baskets as the Crushers and Comets traded scores, but those ultimately helped McCort build a cushion and raise its first District 6 crown in seven seasons.
'I can't believe it,' said head coach John Hahn. 'I thought I'd be here last year. I thought I'd been here the year before. But, you know, there's there's good teams and I think Laurel Highlands gets us prepared for this, and Penns Manor, we watched them all year long because we assumed that's who was going to be here. And, for this feeling now, this just never gets old.'
