If there's any doubt about the resilience of the Greensburg Central Catholic boys lacrosse team, end those feelings right now.

Following an Opening Night, triple-overtime 9-8 loss at Chartiers Valley on a snowy night on March 27, the Centurions have parlayed just enough wile, guile and talent to reach the semifinals of the WPIAL Division II boys lacrosse tournament.

The 7-6 Centurions meet 12-3 Quaker Valley at 8 p.m. on Tuesday night at Baldwin High School. The winner meets the winner of the other semifinal between Seton-LaSalle and Baldwin at 6 p.m. Thursday, also at Baldwin High School.

Written by Ryan Riordan on .

Ryan Riordan's feature on the GCC baseball team:

"Anthony Manley admits that he didn't know much about the Greensburg Central Catholic baseball team when he took the head coaching position with the Centurions two weeks before the start of this season.

"I really only knew about a few kids from reading the paper and being a Greensburg guy," said Manley, who was an assistant at Hempfield last season. "I didn't really know who played where or who could do what."

What he found when he saw the Centurions at the tryouts was a veteran team that knew how to play the game."
