Winter at MPS is marked by one constant – the sound of basketballs bouncing in the gym. The boys basketball program has been one of the most respected in the entire area for many years and this year’s team will not disappoint. Led by Coach Sean Baer, an alum and technology coach at MPS, the young men will once again thrill the fans with an intense and fun brand of basketball that helped MPS garner a run into the PIAA playoffs last season.
