The Kane Lady Wolves finished the 2012 season with an 8-8 record but showed a lot of improvement over the course of the year. The highlight of the season was a 5-1 late-season victory over eventual District 9 A Champions Elk County Catholic.
Kane girls’ track and field coach Jim Sirianni has a solid group of athletes returning for him this season, led by three standout seniors.
The Kane boys’ track team will be coming into this season as the defending District IX Champions. Whenever you are coming off a successful season like last year, it usually means a rebuilding year. Kane will definitely be in that process in a lot of events.
The Kane Wolves 2013 baseball team will have a new coach leading them. Coach Josh Lindemuth served as an assistant under Mark Kossack for the previous two seasons. After Kossack resigned the post, Lindemuth moved up to the top position.

WEXFORD – “We were just outclassed.”
That’s how Kane coach Dave Kiehl described Friday’s 67-16 loss to Seton-LaSalle in a Class AA state girls basketball playoff game here at North Allegheny High School.
Seton-LaSalle, the defending Class AA state champion, dominated with a smothering full-court zone press for three quarters. Kane had major trouble bringing the ball upcourt against the press. The Rebels converted a flurry of steals into easy layups.
