First GTPA banquet goes 'beyond' expectations

Wagner, who was a first-team all-star selection for both soccer and basketball, is notorious for wearing his emotions on his sleeve. He was a particularly polarizing figure during basketball season as he flamboyantly led the Panthers basketball team to the YAIAA Division I title and the District 3 Class AAAA title game.

Clabaugh, who was a first-team all-star selection for wrestling, put together a one-loss regular season while dealing with the death of his mother, Karen, who died from a heart attack in early December. Clabaugh went on to win a sectional title, placed second in the district, placed fourth in the region and qualified for states.
