December 30, 2024 Nate Johns

In 2015, Bob Beviglia was named head basketball coach of the Scranton Prep Classics. During his tenure, the team has achieved nine state playoff berths, seven district titles and 11 state playoff wins, including an appearance in last year\'s PIAA 4A State Championship. Sunday however, marked yet another milestone for arguably the most accomplished girls basketball coach in District 2, as he picked up his 200 win. The win also secured another Lynett Tournament championship, as the Classics knocked off the Scranton Lady Knights 56-41 in the final. The win marks the third Lynett victory for Scranton Prep since Beviglia took over in 2019, and their second in the last three seasons.
