Central Catholic boys basketball team finishes 3rd in 3A in final state hoops poll

FROM KEITH GROLLER


It wasn't the ending many of us had hoped for with the Central Catholic boys basketball team, but the Vikings'  No. 3 ranking in Class 3A in the final state poll is the best final ranking of any local team in a long time.
Kudos and thanks to Michael Bullock of the Harrisburg Patriots-News and pennlive.com for doing a great job with the polls all year and now he has the task of compiling the votes for the all-state team which will likely be released next week.
Here are the final polls:
