Typically, the very first Monday back following the New Year’s holiday tends to be one of the least productive days of the entire year -yes, even a year that is only a few days old at that point. Whether you work, go to school, or just have errands to go out and run, the malaise […]

No matter what a new year may seem bring, there often are the same old familiar storylines that eventually bubble-up and rise to the surface. Chief among them of course is that Lancaster Catholic typically will own whichever section of the Lancaster-Lebanon League that happen to call home. As far as most recent history is […]

Sometimes, all you really need is a change of pace. In a lot of ways, it’s ironic to think that way given that the long and arduous high school basketball season typically lends itself to nothing but a consistent monotony of games and tip times being relegated to the same familiar pattern week after week. […]

It’s that strange week between Christmas and New Year’s which typically means one of two things. First, no one has any real concept of time with most everyone wandering around aimlessly wondering what day of the week it actually is. Secondly, this is typically that small window of opportunity where new year’s resolutions start to […]

Let’s talk for a second about identity. Rest assured, whether we’re talking about sports or just life in general, your identity -perhaps more so your character- is the true essence of your very being. To be sure, what comes out of you when you get squeezed is the one true marker of who you really […]

It seems odd to say given that the high school basketball season is often perceived to be so long when you consider that every teams plays rough 20-games per campaign, but sometimes clubs can certainly find themselves at a bit of a crossroads early in the year. Yes, in some cases even by the time […]

Expectations. They can either make you or break you. Of course, a lot of what hangs in the balance between which of those two pathways you venture on depends on what you’re made of internally. To be sure, what comes out of you when you get squeezed is the true epitome of your underlying character. […]

You know, there’s something to be said for putting in the effort and the work. As we almost all can relate, whether it be in sports, or in life in general, rolling up your sleeves and dedicating yourself towards achieving a sought-after goal can often be one of the most rewarding things that you’ll ever […]

If there’s anything that has somewhat united us over the last year and a half, it’s the fact that trying to figure out how to live our lives amidst a global pandemic has been a chore for each one of us in some form or fashion. That said, as in the case with most everything […]

If you’ve been doing this long enough, you start to pick up on trends that can routinely play themselves out on a perennial basis. Case in point, the incredibly strong and impressive close-outs to the regular season that Manheim Township routinely puts together year over year it seems. Of course, that can come with a […]

Hyperbole or not, sometimes the second night of the season can often be one of the most consequential eveings that the entire slate can possibly offer. And sure enough, the situation that was scheduled to take shape in Mount Joy late on Saturday night just so happened to fit snuggly into that very same category. […]

In a way, it’s funny. Well, maybe funny isn’t exactly the most apropos word to use, but it certainly was ironic. For as much promise and anticipation that 2021-22 high school basketball season brings with it, it’s simply impossible to overlook the overarching desire and hope from everyone involved that this year we finally have […]
