Exeter Flashes All Of Its Venom As Eagles March Past Lebanon, Await Date With Cedar Crest In Championship Game Of Falcons’ Holiday Tournament To Set Up Tantalizing Matchup Between Two District 3 Juggernauts

December 29, 2023 Andy Herr

Full disclosure. While this is a site primarily focused almost exclusively on that of Lancaster-Lebanon boys’ basketball above all else by and large, it’s not as if we are totally incapable and devoid of recognizing and appreciating good hoops overall when we see it. In that regard, has anyone been doing it better than Berks […]

Cocalico Turns To Its Roots As Eagles Get Defensive, Put Strong Second Half Effort Together Against Susquehannock En Route To Fifth Straight Victory To Advance To Garden Spot Holiday Tournament Championship

December 28, 2023 Andy Herr

Before we begin, let’s start off with a question, shall we? If we were to rewind and go all the way back to 2016, who is only team to win an L-L boys’ basketball section in the division where Lampeter-Strasburg resides other than the school with the initials of L-S outright? If you said the […]

Clippers’ Depth, Trademark Runs Prove Lethal As Chester Tops Lancaster Mennonite In Battle Between State Champions Old And New

Clippers’ Depth, Trademark Runs Prove Lethal As Chester Tops Lancaster Mennonite In Battle Between State Champions Old And New

December 24, 2023 Andy Herr

  The last time we saw the Lancaster Mennonite Blazers, they were at the Giant Center in Hershey last March rounding out their finest hour in the form of a relatively decisive victory against one the perennial state power brokers of all-time, Aliquippa, for what would prove to be Lancaster Mennonite’s first-ever state title in […]

Ephrata Inserts Its Name Into Section Two Discussion As Mounts Display Complimentary Aspects, Stymie Donegal In Intriguing December Clash

Ephrata Inserts Its Name Into Section Two Discussion As Mounts Display Complimentary Aspects, Stymie Donegal In Intriguing December Clash

December 21, 2023 Andy Herr

  At first glance, one may think there isn’t all much that connects Donegal and Ephrata together. For starters, there is roughly 30 miles that separates the two campuses from one another. Or, in a slightly obscure and different form of measurement and distance, about “half a Lancaster County” away. Beyond that, while one program […]

Well-Balanced Crimson Tide Score Critical 30-Point Road Win At Lancaster Country Day As Columbia Presides Over Section Four Standings Heading Into Holiday Break

December 20, 2023 Andy Herr

Without question, one of the worst things you can use to describe a team is to call them “frontrunners.” Simply put, for those who are hardwired with that of a competitive nature, them’s fightin’ words. Hard to argue too when you consider that the moniker suggests that teams are only able to thrive when the […]

ELCO Starts Fast, Holds Off Late Wyomissing Charge As Raiders Bank Memorable Win Inside Wells Fargo Center

ELCO Starts Fast, Holds Off Late Wyomissing Charge As Raiders Bank Memorable Win Inside Wells Fargo Center

December 19, 2023 Andy Herr

As far as the statistics will lead you to believe, the players that took to the Wells Fargo Center court on Monday afternoon should have had somewhere around a roughly 0.03% chance of being there. Sure enough, depending on what source you decide to cite, the odds of high school players making it to either […]

Defensive effort leads L-S to crucial Section 3 victory over Donegal (TJ Eck Recap)

Defensive effort leads L-S to crucial Section 3 victory over Donegal (TJ Eck Recap)

December 18, 2023 Andy Herr

Trailing by three points, Lampeter-Strasburg made a defensive adjustment at halftime of Monday night’s Lancaster-Lebanon League Section 3 showdown with Donegal.   “We went to more of what we call a matchup zone,” said L-S head coach Ed Berryman. “They have great shooters so it gave it like a 3-2 (zone) look but we were being […]

Lambert Picks Up 299th Coaching Victory As Octorara Responds From Berks Catholic Defeat, Uses Strong Second Half Push En Route To 24-Point Section Three Win Over Northern Lebanon On Saturday Afternoon

Lambert Picks Up 299th Coaching Victory As Octorara Responds From Berks Catholic Defeat, Uses Strong Second Half Push En Route To 24-Point Section Three Win Over Northern Lebanon On Saturday Afternoon

December 16, 2023 Andy Herr

If one were to try and describe Octorara’s early season in that of nautical terms, the Braves encountered what seemed to be nothing more than smooth sailing throughout their first few games out of the chute this year. Granted, there were some choppy waters along the way at times mind you, such as the first […]

Manheim Central Answers Questions, Opens Defense Of Section Two Crown With Emphatic Performance As Barons Shoot Past E-Town In First Game Back After Early Season Recess

December 16, 2023 Andy Herr

This might be crazy to even suggest out loud and put into the ethos, but is it possible that the defending Section Two champs, the defending league runners up, and last year’s District 3-5A semifinalists could’ve been the Lancaster-Lebanon League’s biggest mystery team heading into the season? Well, maybe not as crazy or blasphemous as […]

Wilson Uses Trademark Recipe, High IQ And Overall Unselfishness, To Stifle Warwick As Bulldogs Prevail In Early Season Defensive Showcase

December 15, 2023 Andy Herr

Before we start, let’s just go ahead and get the obvious out of the way early here. That of course being that this is a year in which big things are expected to come from the Warwick Warriors. That’s not a bad thing of course. Far from it in all honesty. Long story short, if […]

Northeastern Outslugs McCaskey As Bobcats Prevail In Old-Fashioned Nonconference Bout

December 14, 2023 Andy Herr

Let’s start off with a very unscientific straw poll here, shall we? Okay. “Do you consider the L-L League to be much better off when the McCaskey Red Tornado are the very top of the conversation?” Chances are, I’d have to imagine that any neutral observer without a particular dog in the fight would answer […]

December 12, 2023 Andy Herr

  (Artie Poindexter, LLHoops Player of the Game Against Camp Hill Following 20-Point Effort) At the tail end of last season, the Columbia Crimson Tide found themselves on the receiving end of some particularly hard and painful lessons. Ok sure, but it certainly wasn’t as if they had failed to study and simply not participate […]

December 9, 2023 Andy Herr

While you never want to really say it loud, the simple fact of that the matter is that some teams can find themselves at a proverbial fork in the road, yes, sometimes even just eight days into the start of a brand-new season. Again, while the verdict of using such hyperbolic language is always open […]

Berks Catholic Raises Curtain On Season In Dominating Fashion As Saints Open District 3-4A Title Defense With Forceful Win Over 6A Cedar Crest In City of Basketball Love Showcase Event

December 9, 2023 Andy Herr

Without much in the way of debate, it’s one of the worst kept secrets around Lancaster-Lebanon League basketball circles heading into the season. That of course being that big things are expected from the Cedar Crest Falcons. Hard to really offer much of a great argument that counters that logic seeing as how the Falcons […]

December 8, 2023 Andy Herr

(Ethan Benne POG Against Twin Valley) Whether you consider it either fair or foul, it’s not totally incorrect to suggest that some years just naturally appear to be more important than others on the surface. A sort of “make or break” campaign if you will. That said, perhaps the notion would be labeled “foul” due […]
