History
Whitehall-Coplay first qualified for states in 2004, after placing 4th at regionals. This began a decade-long streak of qualifying for states. Their period of greatest success came from 2008 to 2013, in which they never finished worse than 2nd at regionals or 12th at states. They won four regional championships during this time, and placed as high as 4th at the 2011 Pennsylvania State Tournament. At the time, it tied for the best-ever placement at states by a team from the Central East region.
After narrowly missing states in 2014 by two points, Whitehall-Coplay resumed their regular qualifications for states. However, despite three consecutive 11th-place finishes, they were unable to return to the top 10 at states. Their most recent placement at states was 19th in 2021, though they have twice deferred a bid to the state tournament since then.
