Coming into this season, there figured to be a lot of eyeballs centered around the year-long race for the Lancaster-Lebanon League Section Two title in boys’ hoops. And rightly so quite frankly. After all, you wouldn’t be all that likely to receive much of a beef from anyone with a keen knowledge of the local […]

In many ways, the start to the 2022-23 Lancaster-Lebanon League boys’ basketball season has really been no different than most others that have preceded it. Like clockwork, this year too –albeit while still in its relative infancy – has offered up tantalizing storylines that have captivated the general masses. True to form, there have been […]

While some on the outside simply may have seen the combined 1-8 records coming into Monday possessed by both Lebanon and Garden Spot respectively and their matchup to begin the week against one another, a deeper look inside the numbers quickly demonstrated that there is much, much more there than what immediately came up to […]

You know, there was a time not all that long ago where this game would’ve effectively shut the entire city down. Not to say that it still couldn’t by and large to some effect, but the fact of the matter is that if you were to go back roughly 20 years in time, there was […]

While the high school basketball season may still be young at heart yet, that should not in any way suggest that there aren’t somewhat season-defining’ish type games still afoot here throughout the first couple weeks of the season if you will. After all, just try on Wilson’s trip to Warwick Thursday night on for size. […]

It may seem hard to believe, but two weekends ago, the high school basketball formally tipped off in earnest. For most, that meant that it was time to get going for real with the full compliment of players that had been training and preparing for weeks for the start of the season that had now […]

By its very nature, high school sports can be a cyclical beast. Just as the sun will always rise in the east and set in the west, every year brings with it a new cast and crew that makes up a team’s roster due to those graduation proceedings that take place in the early summer. […]

If we are talking about the most historic brands of boys’ basketball programs that happen to call the Lancaster-Lebanon League their home, there are plenty to rightfully consider. Sure, it’s hard to argue with the dominance shown over a prolonged period of time when you consider the likes of Lancaster Catholic, McCaskey and Hempfield to […]

Without a doubt, one of the most fun things to do at the end of the first week of a season to try and conjure up storylines and long-term projections based on how just a morsel of games have turned out thus far, all while being somewhat absent-minded perhaps to the fact that the lion’s […]

First off, is it okay to say this out loud? Is it okay to say that Thursday night’s Manheim Township and E-Town game was a bit of a “crossroads” type game? Granted, even though the 2022-23 campaign isn’t even a week-old yet, the initial premise of the original question may not be all that farfetched […]

The saying goes that you only have one chance to make a good first impression. Ironic is some ways though when you apply that same logic to the 2022-23 Cedar Crest Falcons that is. After all, chances are that you know most of their names and faces already as it is.  Last year, behind what […]

You know, whenever Central Dauphin and Manheim Township happen to find themselves locked up in competition no matter what the sport, chances are two-fold. First, there will be a lot of eyeballs on the matchup itself. Why? Most certainly because those two names alone carry nothing if not a ton of equity and weight behind […]

There’s something to be said about new beginnings. Whether it be in life or even in the world of high school basketball, sometimes change can be for the better. And what a better place to start than opening night of the gauntlet that is the regular season itself if we’re talking hoops. It’s not exactly […]
