HS VOLLEYBALL: 2018 TIMES-TRIBUNE ALL-REGION TEAM

Happy Thanksgiving!

It is a time for family and friends, turkey and gravy, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie. And the tradition at The Times-Tribune to honor the top performers for the fall sports seasons.

Today, the sports staff unveils its best and Conor Foley designs the pages for a powerful holiday presentation.

So, without further delay. We reward the top players from the high school girls tennis season where we had two freshmen burst upon the scene and a good balance of top competition in the Lackawanna League.
