“We lost a lot of scoring from last year’s team,” coach Dan Thayer said. “We have added Deng Mu, who will give us the inside presence we haven’t had for a couple of seasons. We are not returning many starters, but we will have some depth and believe that role players from last year will emerge to lead us.

“I saw an opportunity to contribute to a program where I am a community member,” Marc Allemang said. “I am a resident of Jefferson Hills and live less than five minutes from the high school. I have been coaching at the youth level in TJ for about five or six years with my son and his teammates, so I know a lot of the kids and families."

“We are going to surprise a lot of people this year,” Baldwin coach Jamal Woodson said. “We have almost everyone coming back from last year and only lost one starter. Last year, we took a huge turn midway through the season and won a lot of our games. We are always the underdog, and everyone always counts us out and, honestly, that’s just the way we like it.”

The stereotype — that those who live in the North Hills or South Hills never move to the opposite region — has some merit to it. The two regions have their differences, said Caroline Barrett Douglass, Realtor for Realty One Group Platinum.

The North Hills is marked by slightly newer homes, properties with larger yards and big box stores and national chain restaurants lining McKnight Road, she said. The South Hills is known for its historic homes, walkable communities, breweries and boutique retail.
