In the first of our senior rewind episodes, we catch up with Emmaus High School basketball players Dylan Darville and Chase Muckey, two guests from one of our most popular episodes (Season 2, Episode 16). In February 2020, Darville and Muckey were members of a freshman team that finished with a 25-1 record and promise to restore Emmaus Boys Basketball tradition. Through many ups and downs, their high school careers culminated this year with a regular season league championship, a trip to the PPL Center for postseason action, and a trip to the state playoffs. Throughout this conversation, they exhibit the hallmarks of the EHS program, with a focus on teamwork, togetherness, and passion for the game.

Other topics from the episode include

• A look back at the highlights from their senior season
• Lessons learned from 9th grade basketball and how they applied to future seasons
• The importance of playing as a team and growing into a role
• Advice for upcoming 9th graders - both on and off the court
• The role basketball can potentially play in their lives after their EHS career is now complete
