7. Nazareth Blue Eagles
Record: 20-7, 12-4 EPC.
Last ranking: 3rd.
Last game: Lost to Northampton 74-70 in the District 11 6A consolation game.
Best moment: Winning the Whitehall holiday tournament and back-to-back wins over Bethlehem Catholic at the end of the regular season and in the first quarterfinals of the EPC tournament.
Best bet for next year: The Blue Eagles appear headed for a major rebuild after losing 11 seniors, but if he stays healthy through the football season Mason Kuehner has a chance to be one of the EPC’s best players.
Comment: Losses to Parkland and Northampton gave the Blue Eagles a disappointing ending to a season filled with a lot of great moments. It was a team that didn’t have a marquee star, but played well as a team in registering the program’s first 20-win season since 2010-11.
