DANVILLE — Greenwood would feel right at home in a five-sided gym — after all, what could be more appropriate for the Wildcats, who have been the department of defense among local basketball teams for the past two seasons. That stop-the-other-guy mentality was key for the Greenwood boys Tuesday, as they shut down Old Forge and advanced to the PIAA Class A quarterfinals for the second year in a row with a 46-37 win over the Blue Devils at Danville’s Whitey McCloskey Center. Greenwood (24-3), the District 3 runner up, will face Lebanon Catholic, the third-place team from District 3 — and the team Greenwood beat in the district semis — Friday at a site and time to be determined. Lebanon Catholic was a 51-47 winner over Mansfield Tuesday. District 2 champ Old Forge ends the season at 15-11.
