Kyle Knutsen, a 5-foot-10 senior guard, is optimistic about this season for the Comets. Coming off a 6-4 Section One record, 13-11 overall, Penn Manor returns a veteran core with some youngsters coming up.
“We want to win the Section, win the league and win at least one game in districts and get to states,” said Knutsen, who averaged 5.2 points per game last season with a game-high of 14 points in a win over Lebanon.
