Thomas Jefferson still has a bitter taste from last year’s loss in the WPIAL semifinals.
The bar remains as high as ever for the Jaguars this season. The program is a well-oiled machine that counts on its players to maintain consistently high objectives.
“The kids have those expectations for themselves, so for us as a program and as coaches, we really don’t have to set that,” head coach Bill Cherpak said. “They know the standard, they know the bar is high,and they accept it.
