The sting of losing in the PIAA 5A championship game would have been much more bearable had the Hershey boys’ basketball team just been blown out.

They say that good things come to those who wait, but after more than 50 years on standby, the Hershey boys’ basketball program was due for something great.

Over the years, the District 3 playoffs have come to be known as the “Road to Hershey,” with the ultimate goal being a trip to play for a championship at Giant Center.
