<h5>As we continue with the selection of all-section teams in the 5A classification, the teams and players did not disappoint us this season. With such a competitive group of coaches/players on the court, the gyms were on fire while it was extremely cold outside. Let’s take a look at our Fab 15 of the WPIAL Class 5A - Section 3, which is a talented group of players. These fine young men were selected by the Prep Hoops Pennsylvania staff and are more than worthy of their selections to the Fab 15 of the Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League.</h5>
