Come the middle of February, this is exactly the place where everyone aspires to be. It might not come with necessarily all the glitz and glamour of some spacious building that can host a variety of events like concerts and such, but to all the boys’ basketball teams that call the Lancaster-Lebanon League their […]

  When you’re in the middle of a title chase, style points don’t necessarily matter all that much. Sure, it’s great to have an average margin of victory that makes you feel all fat and happy, but those can sometimes be nothing more than empty calories. And while section play only just commenced around the […]

In years past, this matchup probably would’ve been glossed over without much in the way of fanfare. Not that it was anyone’s inherited fault, mind you. Short of relitigating all the intricate details when it comes to detailing this matchup – this game within the series particular – let’s just cut to the chase and […]

It’s the third full week of December. It’s been a few days (literally) since section play around the Lancaster-Lebanon League officially commenced. A big chunk of everyone’s respective resumes thus far is attributed to that of the legwork done in the non-con portion of the slate. We’re still a week out from Christmas. And we’re […]

This past week saw the start of section play officially commence around the Lancaster-Lebanon League. Typically, that would be the most newsworthy tidbit that the week would usually offer. However, especially at the tail end of the week in particular, the L-L was fortunate enough to see some key milestones be reached from both those […]

**Schedule update 12/11….Although we originally had planned to telecast the Hempfield at Cedar Crest game this Friday night as posted on the original schedule release here, we have since learned that Cedar Crest will streaming this game using their own in-house production. Because this game will already be covered by one of schools involved, we […]

  Without fail, Mother Nature always has a funny way of inserting herself into the conversation when it comes to winter weather found here in central Pennsylvania, almost always throwing a wrench into everyone’s collective plans as it relates to high school basketball most of all. Funny thing is, she wasted little time this year […]

Coming out of the first weekend of the season, to suggest that the shared experiences found inside their respective tip-off tournaments in which they played were a bit of a mixed bag when referencing both Elizabethtown and Lampeter-Strasburg might be a bit of disservice. For starters, coming out the initial weekend with a pair of […]

Maybe it’s cliché and hokey. Maybe it’s not. Either way, the fact of the matter is that when it comes to first full week of the high school basketball season at the start of every December, there are championships to be won coming out of the weekend. For some, winning a tip-off tourney title likely […]

It’s been a little quiet around here about them. Almost too quiet quite frankly. Part of that perhaps makes sense, doesn’t it? Graduating almost all the key pieces that were integral parts of back-to-back league championship runs. I mean, what could possibly be left up there in the cupboard still? Well, while that may all […]

Coming into this season, it’d be fair to suggest that Lancaster Catholic was most certainly looking forward to the idea and overall promise that came part in parcel with a new year getting set to commence. And frankly, how could they not? As far as the record books will tell you, the Crusaders’ 2024-25 season […]
