 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.
