ORWIGSBURG The Tamaqua Lady Raiders swim team defeated Blue Mountain, 96-87, on Thursday for the Schuylkill League championship. That accomplishment, in itself, is commendable. However, there are some factors that make it all the more impressive.
The Lady Raiders are under first year coach Ashley Stanek, which is normally a rarity, as a first-year coach is usually going to struggle to compile a team worthy of a championship.
