HERSHEY -- Hey everyone, back for more soccer. Area teams are 1-0 after Christopher Dock's 2-1 victory in the Class A boys' title game. Octorara will look to make it two-for-two.
Greg Patrick has scored 10 goals in five postseason games for the Braves, so he will be the player to watch. If Patrick can get going, Octorara could win its first state championship since 1999.
