Lampeter-Strasburg Rides Dominant Fourth Quarter Performance Into PIAA-5A Round Of 16 As Pioneers Turn Away Bangor

March 10, 2018 Andy Herr

Just three weeks ago, it could have easily been argued that the Lampeter-Strasburg Pioneers were playing the best basketball out of anyone in the mid-state. And deservedly so. After all, the Pios were in the midst of one of their best seasons in school history. And on that Friday night just three short weeks ago, […]

Powerful Second Half Performance Propels Reading Past Manheim Township Into District 3-6A Title Game

February 28, 2018 Andy Herr

In sports, or really just in life in general, there truly is only one way to go about attacking a giant challenge set forth in front of you. Metaphorically speaking here of course, you can’t exactly tippy-toe into the lion’s den. Instead, you have to go in full-steam ahead, throwing caution to the wind, all […]

Hempfield Secures Sweet Return To Chocolatetown As Black Knights Upend Wilson In District 3-6A Quarterfinal Victory

February 24, 2018 Andy Herr

The good thing about playoff basketball is that it can you give matchups like L-S and Hempfield as was the case last Wednesday when the Pioneers and Black Knights squared off in the most-anticipated game of the season for the right to advance to the L-L title game opposite of Lancaster Catholic.

Dominating Defensive Performance Helps Lift Berks Catholic Into Semifinal Round As Saints Handle Northern Lebanon

February 23, 2018 Andy Herr

When talking about the top high school athletic programs in the midstate, it is downright impossible to have any such conversation without including the Saints of Berks Catholic.

Blue, White And Gold: Lampeter-Strasburg Dethrones Lancaster Catholic For First L-L Championship In School History

February 17, 2018 Andy Herr

In sports, the general rule of thumb is that the defending champion earns the right to be considered king of the hill until knocked off their lofty perch and proven otherwise. Don’t bother trying to sell this year’s Lampeter-Strasburg basketball team on that notion however. They’re simply just not buying it. Rewind the clock all […]

Lampeter-Strasburg Makes History As Pioneers Knock Out Hempfield To Advance To First Ever L-L Championship In Game For The Ages

February 15, 2018 Andy Herr

For whatever the reason, the L-L League Boys’ Basketball tournament has always shown an uncanny knack for producing monumental semifinal games the last few years.
