Shaler boys volleyball off to hot start

The true test of the success of any program is what happens after a run of great players go through the program. The Shaler boys volleyball team were the PIAA Class 3A champions last season. The Titans lost more than 10 seniors from last year's team and are off to a 3-1 start this season.

While Shaler still has a long ways to go to prove it deserves a spot in the state rankings, there will be plenty of opportunities for the Titans to prove themselves. Shaler, the two-time defending WPIAL Class 3A champions, are in a section with Mars, which won the 2A crown last year.

​Read about the Titans journey thus far on SBLive.
