They say home is where the heart is. But for the VisionQuest boys basketball team, home is wherever they hang their hats.
“We feel every place we go into is our home. When you hear us do our chant, ‘Who’s House? Our House!’ that’s because every place we go to is our home,” explained head coach Richard Gordon.
Which explains, at least in part, VisionQuest’s 61-56 District 10 Region 1-A victory at Kennedy Catholic Friday night.
HERSHEY — Someone once said, “The third time is a charm.” Obviously not for the Reynolds High mat team in a series of 2012 matches against Fort LeBoeuf.

The Bison previously defeated Reynolds in the Ultimate Duals (28-27 on criteria after a 27-27 deadlock) and the finals of the District 10 Dual Meet Championships (31-28).

HERSHEY — One of the problems with the PIAA State Dual-Meet Championships is that there is no true seeding. That’s why two of the state’s top ranked Class AA teams — Reynolds (3rd) and Boiling Springs (4th) — had to meet in the opening round.

SPORTVIEW: Reynolds, Greenville are 2 of state's historic programs
CONGRATULATIONS TO the Reynolds High wrestling program which became the fastest Class AA team in the history of the state to reach 700 wins last weekend.
The program, which began in 1960-61 under coach Dick Sherwood, has set a torrid pace for winning since that 4-4 season.
Ironically, the school’s 700th victory came Saturday in the District 10 Dual Meet Championships against long-time rival Greenville, which went over the 700-win plateau in 2009. Greenville is believed to be the first AA team to reach 700 wins, while Reynolds did it in the shortest time.
