By Mike Gross It’s too much to say Lancaster Mennonite’s 58-52 defeat of Warwick Saturday was the de facto Lancaster-Lebanon League championship game. It’s not enough to say it was just another quarterfinal. The Blazers have targeted the league playoffs more than usual this year, and knew they cleared a big hurdle Saturday. “It’s a […]

  February 5, 2026   Comets Clinch Tie for Division Title   Abington Heights 69, Scranton Prep 58   SCRANTON – After playing nearly even through the first 16 minutes, Abington Heights moved out to a 10-point lead (43-33) midway through the third period after Jordan Shaffer scored two of his game-high 27 points.  Scranton […]

Here are the dates/time and matchups for this year’s L-L League championships as presented by the L-L League and its corporate partner, OAL

Earlier this week, inside of their thrilling come-from-behind victory while just up the road at L-S, Octorara’s Vincent Thaler decided on his own to make it a memorable game, albeit for a far different occasion aside from seeing the Braves officially make it a perfect sweep over fellow L-L competition this season while en route […]

(Photos provided by Kirk Neidermyer) Candidly, this could’ve been a bit of an awkward spot for the Warwick Warriors boys’ basketball team to find themselves on Wednesday night. First and foremost, they already knew that their league playoff fate had been decided for them – a Saturday date at noon in paying a visit to […]

(Article by David Kehler)   The view from here is that a team with championship aspirations should play a championship level non-conference schedule to prepare for difficult post-season matchups in the league, PIAA district, and PIAA state championship playoffs.  Non-conference games should be scheduled thoughtfully and strategically to face well-coached opponents, opponents with various styles […]

To put it rather mildly, it’d be fair to suggest that it was far from Cedar Crest’s finest hour their last time out on the floor. In fact, it was a largely atypical performance for a Falcons’ program that has grown accustomed to rightly considering itself to be the grittiest, toughest, nastiest, insert any adjective […]

While it may not necessarily be all that common to be seen around these parts, the fact of the matter was that this season, as wonky and as crazy as its been inside the Lancaster-Lebanon League boys’ basketball landscape all year long, this year has already seen 75% of the section championships be decided and […]

It’s McCaskey. It’s Hempfield. It’s a game at the end of the season between these two with massive implications. No, we didn’t rewind the clock back to the 90’s or 2000’s for this one.  LLHoops is excited to announce that will be providing livestream coverage of Tuesday’s McCaskey and Hempfield Section One finale, streamed exclusively […]

Each week, LLHoops will compile a weekly list of the top boys’ scoring performances in the conference that week.

Friday night was significant night for the Cocalico Eagles boys’ basketball team for a variety of different reasons. First and foremost, Cocalico did something that no other Section Two team had been able to do this season, defeat Conestoga Valley, as the Eagles knocked off the division champs on the Buckskins’ home floor to hand […]

On Friday, in their league playoff-clinching victory on the road at E-town, Warwick’s win was memorable in another way as it saw Warriors’ senior Ya’Majesty Washington eclipse the 1,000-point milestone over the course of his four-year varsity career.  Aside from being the 10th Warwick player in program history to do so following his inclusion into […]

In their Thursday night game against Lampeter-Strasburg, Manheim Central senior, Chase Book, reached the 1,000-point milestone over the course of his Barons’ career on the hardwood. This season, Book is averaging just a shade under 20 points-per-game (19.7), with his highest scoring output of the season thus far coming in this same L-S game as […]
