Pennsylvania high school basketball is on the brink of major change as the PIAA inches closer to approving a 35 second shot clock. Following unanimous approval of its second reading in October, the proposal now heads for a decisive final vote on December 3. If passed, the shot clock will officially debut in the 2028 29 season, marking a historic shift that will impact varsity and JV games statewide and usher in a faster, more modern style of play.
In Schuylkill County, few names carry the weight that Nativity BVM senior Trey Keating does. A record-setting scorer on the basketball court, a key contributor in baseball, and now a leader on a 15-1 golf team, Keating’s impact stretches far beyond athletics. He’s a Distinguished Honor student, Student Body President, and a role model who credits his family, coaches, and community for shaping his journey. Humble yet relentless, Trey isn’t chasing attention, he’s chasing excellence, and Nativity BVM is stronger for it.

As The Valley League continues to grow, so does its impact—on and off the court. And if this year’s finale is any indication, the future of local basketball is brighter than ever.
But for Coach Morrison, it\'s about more than just talent. This year, the Thunder are proudly partnering with the Humaneight Foundation, an organization that designs clothing for neurodivergent individuals while conducting vital research to help create inclusive opportunities. This isn’t just another sponsorship, it’s a personal cause. The GM, her son Lucas, who has Aspergers, is making history as the youngest general manager in TBT history. For him and for Coach Morrison this partnership represents something bigger than basketball. “This is a dream partnership,” she says. “Winning is temporary. Changing the game is forever.”
