Typically, one would rightly equate receiving a postseason bid with that of a continuation of sorts in terms of your overall regular season legwork. And while that would indeed be the case and should not in any way diminish what Lancaster Country Day was able to achieve in the wake of their 14-8 overall record […]

The No. 9 seed Warriors were on the road, trying to take down top-seeded Hershey in the quarterfinals of the PIAA District 3 Class AAAAA tournament.  In doing so, they were tasked with trying to shut down six-foot-six, 270-pound Hershey senior […]
