Players gathered at the high school this week.
The Upper St. Clair School Board and district administrators honored the high school's boys' soccer team on Monday night. The team won the PIAA championship in November.

The Panthers beat Wilson High School 1-0, after losing in the state championship game last year. "They played the best game of the season and these guys really deserved to be state champs," said Schneider, who is now the coach of three state championship team.

It was an evening of celebration, reflection and farewells Tuesday night as the Upper St. Clair Hockey Association hosted its annual end of the year banquet at the Hilton Garden Inn at Southpointe. Kurt Kharouf, the "voice of the Panthers" from the television broadcasts on channel 7, was the master of ceremonies for the event. "It's amazing how I keep coming back to these," Kharouf said, tongue-in-cheek. "I haven't been a parent of this organization since 2004, yet I'm still here. But when you meet the parents and the coaches here, you find out why you stay around." The coaching staffs of the freshman, junior varsity and varsity teams each introduced their members, gave remarks on the past season and presented year-end awards. The six …
