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 […]

It’s late January. There’s a little over a week left in the regular season. That means we’ve officially reached that time of year. The time when the basketball beauty pageants and style points can finally be thrown out the window. Right now, once it gets down this level of nitty-gritty, this is when it’s all […]

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. Ya’Majesty Washington […]

Since we’re all likely to be snowed in over the next couple of days, we have the entertainment piece covered. Here’s a replay of our livestream game from Friday night’s overtime thriller between Warwick and Cocalico where the Warriors ultimately overcame a sizable halftime deficit to later go on and win in overtime, 60-51, a […]

Pi-o-neer: a person or group that originates or helps open up a new line of thought or activity or a new method or technical development. That’s the definition as Merriam-Webster defines it. Ironically though, for this group from Lampeter-Strasburg, while that is indeed their school’s nickname and mascot, these Pioneers wanted to be labeled something […]

Technically, the playoffs don’t start until February 7th. But those are merely semantics.  This Friday night, LLHoops is excited to bring you an early taste of postseason play as Warwick travels to Cocalico in a game with massive implications as both the Warriors and Eagles currently stand tied with E-town inside the Section Two standings, […]

  It’s amazing how much things can change with just one game, isn’t it? Then again, when the margin for error is next to nil, maybe it shouldn’t be all that much of a surprise. Just look at what happened with Section Two on Tuesday night — with two teams in particular — when observing […]

Within every season, there are always certain games within the three-month slog to the finish line that invariably stick out above all others. Like, the first time these two got together back in mid-December for instance. On the night of December 16th, Pequea Valley traveled to Columbia while the Braves were serving in the role […]

Coming into this 2025-26 season, we figured they’d be good. But, c’mon. This good? Shoot, outside of their own locker room, even with all the logical, plentiful optimism and all, the jury would’ve probably been out if you were to tell the masses as to where the Octorara Braves’ boys’ basketball team stood at the […]

LLHoops was informed this morning that the entire Manheim Central Hoopfest has been postponed today due to weather conditions. We will provide a later update in the event that any of the day’s original matchups will be played at a future date with our livestream coverage to perhaps be provided as well.    Regardless of […]

Let’s just be frank and acknowledge it… It’s incredibly hard to make it through the regular season unbeaten. This year, no matter what the optics of the Lancaster-Lebanon League boys’ basketball may be– whether perceived or actualized – it is nonetheless a pretty remarkable feat for the league to still currently have three unblemished squads […]

They were 6-9 coming into the night. They began the season with a 1-5 record overall. Have you been paying attention to them? If not, you probably should. They have one heckuva story to tell. Yes, while it is true that Lancaster Catholic was indeed a full three games under .500 coming into their Thursday […]
