It was evident that the Loyalsock Township Lancers had a wealth of young talent heading into the 2013 high school season. A core group of 2015 graduates along with a nucleus of returning juniors placed Loyalsock on the short list of teams favored to make a run at a Pennsylvania Class 2A title. What that core group of now seniors has accomplished may have even surpassed their expectations.

Loyalsock has ridden the right arm of Kyle Datres to back-to-back state titles and appear primed for a run at a three-peat in 2015. The North Carolina recruit is just one of five seniors on the Loyalsock roster that have made college commitments heading into their final high school season.
