CONGRATULATING THE MANHEIM CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL BOYS' VOLLEYBALL STATE
CHAMPIONS
______
HON. LLOYD SMUCKER
of pennsylvania
in the house of representatives
Tuesday, June 24, 2025
Mr. SMUCKER. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to congratulate the Manheim
Central High School boys' volleyball team on winning the PIAA Class 2A
State championship on Saturday, June 14, 2025.
The Manheim Central Barons cruised through the regular season, the
District Three championship, and state playoffs to end up exactly where
they had been the previous year: in the PIAA Class 2A championship
match against the same opponent. Manheim Central came up just short
with a silver medal in last year's championship match against Meadville
but avenged their past loss this season. The Barons played with
determination and delivered a commanding 3-1 victory over their
previously undefeated rivals on June 14 to capture the gold.
Contributing to the Barons' state championship was their cast of
talent, which included six District Three 2A all-stars. This included
senior setter and leader Dylan Musser, who was named as the
Pennsylvania Volleyball Coaches Association's ``Mr. Volleyball of
Pennsylvania''--among other accolades--and was instrumental in their
championship with 43 assists. Also integral to their success was
veteran coach Craig Dietrich, who was awarded District Three coach of
the year.
I include in the Record the following individuals contributed to the
Manheim Central Barons' 2025 boys' volleyball championship:
Players: Reagan Miller, Cole Arter, Dylan Musser, William
Meyers, Daniel Becker, Colin Rohrer, Weston Longenecker,
Christopher Neiles, Caleb Groff, Gavin Longenecker, Wyatt
Buckwalter, Ryder Buckwalter, Bryan Fahnestock, Asher Ulrich,
Landon Mattiace, Jay Hollinger
Coaches: Craig Dietrich, Katrina Thomas, Brandon Musser,
Kevin Groff
As Manheim Central boys' volleyball team crowns a fantastic season
with a gold medal, I sincerely congratulate each player and coach that
made their success possible. The Barons have earned their place as
state champions, and I look forward to seeing what these players
accomplish next.
