Greyhounds to face similar foe in Bishop Carroll

By Jeff Oliver

It will be a ‘dog day afternoon’ tonight at Greensburg Salem High School as the Monessen Greyhounds take on the District 6 runner-up Bishop Carroll Huskies in a PIAA Class A second round contest.

The Greyhounds (16-9) and Huskies (20-5) have plenty of tradition in the state playoffs with both having made deeps runs in the state tournament in the past. In fact, the Huskies reached the semifinals last season, losing to eventual state champ Kennedy Catholic, 77-30.

This season, Bishop Carroll lost in the District 6 title game to undefeated Juniata Valley, 55-45.

Monessen coach Dan Bosnic said that when he looks at the Huskies on tape, he sees a team that, to a degree, plays similar to his own.
