Lancaster Country Day Ratchets Things Up As Cougars Turn Over Pequea Valley, Turn In Key Section Four Road Win
January 12, 2024 Andy HerrThroughout the first month of this season, one thing that has appeared to bubble up to the surface in the Lancaster-Lebanon League boys’ basketball world on the whole is that every race, yes, in every section, appears to be extremely deep and competitive. In fact, it really doesn’t matter if you’re talking specifically about Section […]
Northern Lebanon Gets Glimpse Into Its Future As Vikings Lean On Underclassmen Efforts, Knock Off Route 22 Rival Annville-Cleona In Battle Of Upcoming Section Four Foes
January 9, 2024 Andy HerrWhile conventional wisdom might’ve told you that Monday night’s rivalry affair between Annville-Cleona was nothing more than a “nonleague” scrap between two foes hailing from different sections within the Lancaster-Lebanon League, the truth of the matter was that there was far, far more to it than just that alone.

January 5, 2024 Andy HerrIt’s one of those things that is as universal and accepted like the sun rising in the east and setting in the west.

January 3, 2024 Andy HerrWhile the first couple of days following the start of a new year are most often reserved for making resolutions and that of the like, please don’t take issue with neither Garden Spot or Manheim Central boys’ basketball if they happened to enter 2024 with the same exact intentions as they had ended 2023 on.

ELCO Responds To Adversity, Both Macro And Micro, As Raiders Author Stifling Fourth Quarter Performance To Vault Past Conestoga Valley For Third Place In Eastern York Holiday Tournament
December 31, 2023 Andy HerrIf you are one to prescribe to the notion of character being best defined not by what you do in your best moments, but rather how you respond when you get knocked down, then boy oh boy.

Warwick Opens Defense Of Lititz Flooring Holiday Tournament Title As Warriors Ride 41-Point Second Half Past Lancaster Catholic, Draw Old Section One Foe Penn Manor In Championship Tilt
December 30, 2023 Andy HerrBefore we start, we (I) swear this will be the last time this topic is ever brought up moving forward. Here it goes.

Pretty […]
Exeter Flashes All Of Its Venom As Eagles March Past Lebanon, Await Date With Cedar Crest In Championship Game Of Falcons’ Holiday Tournament To Set Up Tantalizing Matchup Between Two District 3 Juggernauts
December 29, 2023 Andy HerrFull disclosure. While this is a site primarily focused almost exclusively on that of Lancaster-Lebanon boys’ basketball above all else by and large, it’s not as if we are totally incapable and devoid of recognizing and appreciating good hoops overall when we see it. In that regard, has anyone been doing it better than Berks […]
Cocalico Turns To Its Roots As Eagles Get Defensive, Put Strong Second Half Effort Together Against Susquehannock En Route To Fifth Straight Victory To Advance To Garden Spot Holiday Tournament Championship
December 28, 2023 Andy HerrBefore we begin, let’s start off with a question, shall we?

Ephrata Inserts Its Name Into Section Two Discussion As Mounts Display Complimentary Aspects, Stymie Donegal In Intriguing December Clash
December 21, 2023 Andy HerrAt first glance, one may think there isn’t all much that connects Donegal and Ephrata together.

Or, in a slightly obscure and different form of measurement and distance, about “half a Lancaster County” away. Beyond that, while one program […]
Well-Balanced Crimson Tide Score Critical 30-Point Road Win At Lancaster Country Day As Columbia Presides Over Section Four Standings Heading Into Holiday Break
December 20, 2023 Andy HerrWithout question, one of the worst things you can use to describe a team is to call them “frontrunners.” Simply put, for those who are hardwired with that of a competitive nature, them’s fightin’ words.
