(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. Thanks to Joe Shindle for compiling the list.   Current season-high DeMere Salisbery (McCaskey): 41 points against Hempfield on January 9th & Jemar Pauleus (Cedar Crest): 41 points against McCaskey on January 15th  1. DeMere Salisbery […]

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 […]

  Admittedly, it’s not exactly the coziest or most desirable of places to find yourself with less than a week left in the regular season. No, not everyone this time of year can rest easily knowing that they have more games waiting to be played beyond what the regular season campaign allows. Instead, some teams […]

  First, the bad news. 7-29. For those would be the combined records that both of these two 6A programs brought with them into this Friday night nonconference affair against one another. The good news then you may ask? The fact that even though we can now count the number of regular season games left […]

There’s a trend going around on the internet that says, “Not my house, but I know my way around.” Essentially, it’s another way of saying that while you may not actually own or live in the  space being referred to, you’re more than familiar with its surroundings. In Lancaster-Lebanon League boys’ basketball circles, there is […]

As we come down the final stretch of the regular season in the LL, there is still a lot to be determined in the final week of league play. Let’s take a look at where things stand before games tip on Thursday, January 29th. As always, views and opinions expressed in this column represent my […]
