Camp Hill Finds The Remedy As Lions Start Fast, Tally First Win Of The Season At Pequea Valley
December 30, 2022 Andy HerrSometimes, all you really need on this wild and crazy highway known as the high school basketball season is a spark. It’s true.

Lampeter-Strasburg’s Valiant Late Rally Runs Out Of Steam, Vaults York High Into Red Tornado Tournament Championship Game Against McCaskey
December 29, 2022 Andy HerrTo most certified hoop heads and to be honest, frankly degenerates, who fit the bill such as yours truly, McCaskey’s holiday tourney which they are hosting this year duties this year for is simply too good to pass up. After all, to say that local high school basketball royalty would be in attendance may not […]
Disciplined Cougars Refuse To Yield As Kutztown Downs Annville-Cleona To Reach Championship Finale Of Inaugural York Tech Holiday Tournament
December 27, 2022 Andy HerrBelieve it or not, but we have officially reached the holiday week of the high school basketball season.

Barons Flash Sizzle And Substance As Manheim Central Takes Down York Suburban To Conclue Pre-Christmas Slate
December 25, 2022 Andy HerrComing into this season, there figured to be a lot of eyeballs centered around the year-long race for the Lancaster-Lebanon League Section Two title in boys’ hoops. And rightly so quite frankly. After all, you wouldn’t be all that likely to receive much of a beef from anyone with a keen knowledge of the local […]
Ephrata Gets Pushed To The Brink, Turns Away Donegal As Mounts Keep Conference’s Last Unbeaten Record Intact
December 21, 2022 Andy HerrIn many ways, the start to the 2022-23 Lancaster-Lebanon League boys’ basketball season has really been no different than most others that have preceded it. Like clockwork, this year too –albeit while still in its relative infancy – has offered up tantalizing storylines that have captivated the general masses. True to form, there have been […]
Young Spartans Find Thier Way As Garden Spot Rides Prolific Long-Range Shooting Display En Route To Win Over Lebanon
December 20, 2022 Andy HerrWhile some on the outside simply may have seen the combined 1-8 records coming into Monday possessed by both Lebanon and Garden Spot respectively and their matchup to begin the week against one another, a deeper look inside the numbers quickly demonstrated that there is much, much more there than what immediately came up to […]
McCaskey Takes Down An Old Foe As Red Tornado Withstand Persistent Lancaster Catholic Charges, Punctuate Important Week On Three-Game Win Streak
December 18, 2022 Andy HerrYou know, there was a time not all that long ago where this game would’ve effectively shut the entire city down. Not to say that it still couldn’t by and large to some effect, but the fact of the matter is that if you were to go back roughly 20 years in time, there was […]
Warwick Takes ‘A Big Step’ As Warriors Knock Wilson From Unbeaten Ranks In Early Season Overtime Thriller
December 17, 2022 Andy HerrWhile the high school basketball season may still be young at heart yet, that should not in any way suggest that there aren’t somewhat season-defining’ish type games still afoot here throughout the first couple weeks of the season if you will. After all, just try on Wilson’s trip to Warwick Thursday night on for size. […]
Cocalico Gets Defensive As Eagles Stifle Northern Lebanon En Route To Resounding 17-Point Road Win To Begin Section Three Slate
December 17, 2022 Andy HerrIt may seem hard to believe, but two weekends ago, the high school basketball formally tipped off in earnest.

ELCO Refuses To Budge, Erases Double Digit Fourth Quarter Deficit As Raiders Vanquish Hamburg In Overtime Thriller
December 15, 2022 Andy HerrBy its very nature, high school sports can be a cyclical beast. Just as the sun will always rise in the east and set in the west, every year brings with it a new cast and crew that makes up a team’s roster due to those graduation proceedings that take place in the early summer. […]
Kreiser Gymnasium Claims Another Victim As Second Quarter Blitzkrieg Fuels Columbia To Dominating Nonconference Win Against Camp Hill
December 13, 2022 Andy HerrIf we are talking about the most historic brands of boys’ basketball programs that happen to call the Lancaster-Lebanon League their home, there are plenty to rightfully consider. Sure, it’s hard to argue with the dominance shown over a prolonged period of time when you consider the likes of Lancaster Catholic, McCaskey and Hempfield to […]
Penn Manor Continues Strong Start, Withstands Twin Valley Counterpunches As Comets Improve To 3-1
December 10, 2022 Andy HerrWithout a doubt, one of the most fun things to do at the end of the first week of a season to try and conjure up storylines and long-term projections based on how just a morsel of games have turned out thus far, all while being somewhat absent-minded perhaps to the fact that the lion’s […]
Manheim Township Shakes Free From Early Season Doldrums As Streaks Notch Resounding Road Victory Over E-Town To Tally First Win
December 9, 2022 Andy HerrFirst off, is it okay to say this out loud? Is it okay to say that Thursday night’s Manheim Township and E-Town game was a bit of a “crossroads” type game? Granted, even though the 2022-23 campaign isn’t even a week-old yet, the initial premise of the original question may not be all that farfetched […]
Balanced Falcons Start Fast, Make Early Statement As Cedar Crest Comes Away With Impressive Opening Nonleague Victory Over Governor Mifflin
December 5, 2022 Andy HerrThe saying goes that you only have one chance to make a good first impression. Ironic is some ways though when you apply that same logic to the 2022-23 Cedar Crest Falcons that is. After all, chances are that you know most of their names and faces already as it is. Last year, behind what […]
