ARCHBALD — Different score, same result. Northern Lebanon made the 140-mile trip up Interstate 81 on Monday afternoon, looking for a different conclusion to the trip than last year’s shutout loss to Valley View.

In a rematch of the 2025 title game, Kennard-Dale repeated as champion Tuesday evening at Millersville’s Seaber Softball Stadium with a 3-0 victory over Northern Lebanon.
