They were 6-9 coming into the night. They began the season with a 1-5 record overall. Have you been paying attention to them? If not, you probably should. They have one heckuva story to tell. Yes, while it is true that Lancaster Catholic was indeed a full three games under .500 coming into their Thursday […]

Coming into this game last season, life was a little different for the Cocalico Eagles boys’ basketball team. Last year, 364 days ago as a matter of fact, Cocalico boarded a bus bound for Oley Valley High School with their post-season aspirations being anything but a surefire bet that you could reasonably bet the mortgage […]

It might be hard to reconcile, but we’re actually here. Yes, if you look ahead just far enough, you’ll see that the finish line is in sight. Truly, where does the time go? But for a season that is just now starting to make the turn towards home, there’s still plenty of unwritten stories left […]

There are road games and then there are road games. Like the one that the Penn-Trafford Warriors took part in on Friday. Yeah, almost the very textbook definition of a R-O-A-D-T-R-I-P. Capital letters indeed essential for added emphasis. As the crow flies (or the jet flies more accurately), the distance between Harrison City, Pennsylvania, the […]

In […]
