CLARKS SUMMIT, LACKAWANNA COUNTY- Graduation day is always important to seniors. But for Abington Heights High School students the day was especially memorable as their Comets brought home the State AAA Championship baseball trophy - just minutes before graduation.

Comet Coach Bill Zalewski says, "The bus ride home was great. The sendoff, ya know the welcome back. It's a storybook ending it really is for the seniors, really nice."

What could be better graduating and winning a championship on the same day? How about hitting a home-run during the game? That's exactly what two seniors did.

"There can't be a better day," says Senior Tony Castelleno. "A better way to end your senior year. Winning the state championship and then graduating no better feeling."

Senior Corey Spagenburg who hit a home run at the end of the game agrees. "A great day , a day I'll never forget." We asked which part is best? Spagenburg notes, "They're all equally as good you can't pick out one thing."

One thing Abington Seniors could pick out were their caps and gowns on the bus they had to change quickly to accept their diplomas.- but don't think that means they forgot all about their medals.

"We don't mind taking off our medal for a minute to graduate," the players say. "But I don't think we'll forget what we're wearing."
