Mid Penn Conference
The Palmyra’s Mahaffey twins were once again the standard bearers. In the finals of the #1 Singles, Tyler Mahaffey outdueled Aidan Mahaffey in a tightly contested match to take gold. This was a reversal of the 2022 and 2023 finals, where Aidan defeated Tyler for the top spot. However, what would remain the exact same is that the brothers joined forces to win Doubles for the fourth straight year. The two-time defending Doubles State Champions will now turn their attention to completing the three-peat.
The Mahaffeys were not the only athletes who gave Palmyra Coach Abbie Mahaffey a reason to celebrate. In the #1 Doubles bracket, Casey Heisey and Caleb Sitler pushed it into the semifinal round before losing a close match to the eventual champions from Cumberland Valley. In #2 Doubles, the team of Andrew Bauer and Nolan Wasilefski made it to the finals and also pushed a team from Cumberland Valley to the limit before eventually finishing as runners-up.

Meng and Shkreli combined their talents to finish as the silver medalists in the #1 Doubles competition, losing a match to the pair from Hempfield in a 10-8 super tiebreaker.
