Valley hadn’t made the postseason since 2011 and hadn’t won a WPIAL Class AA tournament match since 2009.
But this season’s Vikings squad changed both those factoids this season.
After winning Section 4 and being awarded the No. 3 seed in the WPIAL tournament, Valley defeated Keystone Oaks, 5-0, in the first round of the district tournament before losing a 3-2 decision to Vincentian in the quarterfinals.
Valley’s doubles tandem of Cody Schrecongost and Adam Barone was seeded sixth at the WPIAL Class AA doubles tournament after winning the Section 4 tournament.
The duo beat Thomas Jefferson’s John Ha and Keaton Lindberg, 10-8, in the first round to advance to the quarterfinals, where it met No. 3 seed Bargo Patel and Dan Seamans of Greensburg Central Catholic.
The two teams may have played the match of the WPIAL tournament.
