North Pocono Trojans

A year after North Pocono celebrated district gold, Abington Heights returned to the University of Scranton determined to flip the script. Behind a dominant performance from Adrianna Condrad and a four-RBI afternoon from Evelyn Henkels, the Lady Comets delivered when it mattered most to capture the District 2 Class 5A championship.

Down near the tracks edge, the noise from the infield was constant. There was no rail to separate the action, just the boundary line where passionate coaches stood screaming out split times, urging their athletes to find another gear. But the real story of the day unfolded right at the finish line. Frame after frame on my camera screen captured the absolute truth of the afternoon: competitors wearing completely different school colors running stride-for-stride, actively pulling each other along. You could see these athletes completely emptying the tank to cross the tape, some throwing their heads back in pure exhaustion, others letting out bursts of joy, and many collapsing into the arms of teammates or rivals alike. Looking at those frozen expressions, there was no doubt about it: every single competitor left a piece of themselves on that track.

He described the team as “walking on air,” emphasizing both gratitude for departing seniors and a strong focus on turning the page toward the future. Throughout the season, challenges such as key injuries forced players and coaches to adapt quickly, reinforcing trust and teamwork across the roster. Dolhan credited his athletes for their dedication, noting their commitment in the weight room and eagerness to build on success. Beyond wins and losses, he highlighted the powerful connection formed between the team and the community, from packed stands to shared Friday night traditions.
