2025-2026 DISTRICT 2 CLASS 5A BOYS’ CHAMPIONS 🏆 Abington Heights Comets

FINAL SCORE
Abington Heights 57
Crestwood 37

Four straight.

@AHCometsBBB pulled away in the second half to defeat Crestwood and secure its fourth consecutive District 2 Class 5A championship. The Comets led 37-27 at the end of the third quarter before closing strong to seal it.

Jordan Shaffer (@jordanshaffer0) and Andrew Kettel (@andrew_kettel14) got to work when it mattered most. Shaffer finished with 17 points, 18 rebounds, and 2 blocks — one rebound shy of the Mohegan Arena regulation record. Kettel added 16 points, 5 steals, and 3 assists in a complete two-way performance.

Miles Metz (@MilesMetz29) led Crestwood with 14 points.

The win also marks redemption in this matchup. Crestwood’s last district title came in 2021 via forfeit when @AHSDAthletics was unable to field a team due to COVID-19 protocols following the semifinal. This time, it was settled on the floor.

Head coach JC Show (@jokercat12) improves to 2-for-2 in district championship appearances in his first two seasons at the helm.

History for the Comets:
- 17th district title in program history
- 14th title in the past 19 seasons (since 2008)
- 4th straight championship

2023 – West Scranton
2024 – Dallas
2025 – Pittston Area
2026 – Crestwood

👀 2026 6’0” CG Andrew Kettel of Abington Heights put up a team-high 24 PTS, 7/9 FT, 3 3FG in the Comets’ 75-68 win at Delaware Valley tonight.

📝 @andrew_kettel14 is averaging 16.0 PPG through 10 contests, and led the team with 3.2 Dflc/G and 2.3 SPG coming in to tonight’s matchup. We’ve seen his ability to constantly apply pressure on defenses. Kettel plays with pace, creates opportunities for teammates, and is becoming a reliable threat from beyond the arc.

The Comets (4-5, 2-0) break a three-game losing streak with the victory as they remain undefeated in Lackawanna League Division 1 play.

☄️ 2028 6’2” SF/SG @CooperManning28 has produced impactful time lately for Abington Heights, where he put up 12 PTS, 3 3FG in its win tonight at Delaware Valley (7-3, 0-2). Manning averages 9.0 PPG through the past two contests.

The three-time defending District 2 Class 5A champions host Scranton (4-5, 1-1) next on Tuesday, January 6.
