Mar. 15—Jenna Muha has produced numerous memorable performances throughout a career that has her atop the all-time scoring list in both Somerset County and District 5 girls basketball.

But the Shade 6-foot playmaker found extra satisfaction in being a part of the Panthers' 48-38 victory over District 3 champion Mount Calvary on Saturday in the first round of the PIAA Class 1A tournament.

"I'm a team player. I love my teammates," Muha said. "They're always there. I look for them. They look for me. We all have the common goal of winning. We all want what's best.

"I never want the spotlight on just me. I want it to be on the whole team.

"We're just one whole team."

The District 5 third-place Panthers (17-10) will face District 4 third-place Our Lady of Lourdes Regional (19-7) in the second round at 6 p.m. Wednesday at Cumberland Valley High School in Mechanicsburg.

"Number 00, Masie Reed, she's a pretty good point guard who averages about 12 points a game," Muha said.

"We've been watching film since Saturday. We're anticipating and so excited. We're going to do our best. We worked on defense. We're going to work hard.

"We know they're a good team. We'll compete with them and do the best we can to win."

Muha had 36 points, 20 rebounds and five steals in the win over Mount Calvary. The Frostburg State University basketball commit tallied 47 points in a 65-61 comeback win over rival Conemaugh Township in the district consolation contest.

Overall, Muha has 2,329 points, the most in Somerset County and District 5 girls basketball history. She also has 1,419 rebounds.

"I've been so grateful. I've been blessed by God with all the opportunities I've gotten," Muha said. "My teammates have helped me tremendously. I thank my teammates, my coaches, my family.

"They've been there every step of the way. I couldn't have done it without them.

"My senior year, I couldn't ask for anything more. We all want to win on Wednesday. We just don't want it to be over."

The winner of Wednesday's game will meet the winner of a second-round contest between District 1 champion The Christian Academy and District 4 runner-up St. John Neumann in Saturday's quarterfinal round.
