All season long, the McKeesport girls basketball team wreaked havoc on the glass thanks to the play of Jhayla Bray.
The senior went over the 1,000 mark in both points and rebounds this season, and the Tigers earned the No. 5 seed in the WPIAL Class 4A playoffs.
McKeesport was primed to make a run in this year’s tournament. But then Bray was suspended for the Tigers’ first-round game against Indiana and everything changed.
The No. 12 Indians dominated the boards in the second half and withstood a couple of McKeesport comeback efforts, holding on for a 54-48 victory in the first round of the WPIAL playoffs.
