"I spoke with PIAA administrators and they tried their absolute best to get us into competition," he said. "But the school district won't budge."
"I'm going to speak with the kids and parents and hopefully we'll bring more [to the next meeting]," said McClease. "I'm just looking out for the children and the student athletes."
