Trib HSSN PIHL Player of the Week: Week ending Feb. 23, 2020

Southmoreland girls basketball spearheads Scotties’ sports turnaround

One observer of Southmoreland athletics put it bluntly. For years, the Scotties carried a demeaning moniker with them whenever they showed up on opponents’ schedules. “Lovable losers.” Ouch.
