Under the direction of 20th-year head coach Bill Burke, the Royals are projected to finish third after placing fourth at last year's championship. Sophomore Brayden Clarke, the 2024 Landmark Rookie of the Year and a Second Team All-Conference performer, will once again lead the pack for Scranton following a breakout first appearance at the conference championships that saw him place 12th overall. Senior Angel Perez, the 2022 Landmark Rookie of the Year, has been a steady veteran presence for the Royals and will look to cap his career with another strong championship performance.

Fans attending the championship can park at the Homestead Farm at Oak Ridge Lot, with overflow parking available at the Oak Ridge Field House. Admission to the event is free, and official Landmark Championship merchandise will be available for purchase on-site. 

The Royals will look to continue their upward trajectory in the conference standings and compete for one of the program's best finishes in recent history.
