Off the Court: The combination of fans in attendance and physical size makes Octorara feel like the smallest gym in the LL (maybe there is technically a smaller one somewhere in section 4).

On the Court: DeAndre Jones did not start the game for McCaskey, but came in mid way through the 1st with a visible limp and one of his legs wrapped. He still led all scorers with 19 and added a couple blocks, but passed on a fast break dunk opportunity electing to just lay it […]

Milton Hershey just suffered their first loss of the season, and they came out hot to start the game against Mifflin County on Tuesday night, igniting their electric offense as they’ve shown all season long.
