In retrospect, having them play this game – during this week – was if not something totally bathed in irony, then most certainly apropos if nothing else. For most fans of high school hoops within District 3, especially in the Lancaster-Lebanon League in particular, the entire focus and attention this week is squarely focused on […]

Article by David Kehler Hempfield led wire-to-wire on Saturday afternoon to defeat visiting Lancaster Catholic 45-34, in a game that was more competitive than the final score suggests, in a Lancaster-Lebanon League playoff quarterfinal.  Hempfield will play Lancaster Mennonite in the semifinal round on Tuesday at Conestoga Valley. Both Hempfield and Lancaster Catholic were deliberate […]

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 […]
