• Tripoli boys basketball looking to build on last season (communitynewspapergroup.com) — Tripoli fans can look for a more seasoned boys basketball squad this winter, as the Panthers return six upperclassmen despite graduating leading scorer Tyler Bruns and starter Hayden Loftsgard. Coach Trevor Harris wants the team to turn recent struggles into a roughly .500 season, aiming for the middle of the conference and ready to reset goals if they surpass expectations.
