Coming into this game last season, life was a little different for the Cocalico Eagles boys’ basketball team. Last year, 364 days ago as a matter of fact, Cocalico boarded a bus bound for Oley Valley High School with their post-season aspirations being anything but a surefire bet that you could reasonably bet the mortgage […]

It might be hard to reconcile, but we’re actually here. Yes, if you look ahead just far enough, you’ll see that the finish line is in sight. Truly, where does the time go? But for a season that is just now starting to make the turn towards home, there’s still plenty of unwritten stories left […]

There are road games and then there are road games. Like the one that the Penn-Trafford Warriors took part in on Friday. Yeah, almost the very textbook definition of a R-O-A-D-T-R-I-P. Capital letters indeed essential for added emphasis. As the crow flies (or the jet flies more accurately), the distance between Harrison City, Pennsylvania, the […]

As the season ramps up, so too do our LLHoops livestream productions. We are excited to bring you a Friday night rivalry with a much-improved L-S team of late making the short trek down to tangle with Octorara, the lone unbeaten squad in all the Lancaster-Lebanon League, in a key Section Three tilt for backyard […]

  On Wednesday night, two teams came together to play a basketball game at Lebanon High School. On one side, a team sat in four-way tie for first place in their section title race despite coming into the night while riding a five-game slide, all while owning a 3-8 overall record to their name. In […]

Each year, these early days of January are most always reserved for New Year’s resolutions. Typically, while these are often goals set on an individual basis, so too can they apply to groups. Like, say Lancaster-Lebanon League boys’ basketball. Throughout the month of December, it’s admittedly been a bit of a rocky road for the […]

  Admittedly, there haven’t been more tougher starts to a season experienced that what the Donegal Indians boys’ basketball team was forced to endure prior to the beginning of this 2025-26 campaign. And that’s even taking aside their 0-7 record tabulated thus far in coming out the other side of the Christmas holiday with an […]

  In terms of royalty amongst the ranks of the central Pennsylvania high school basketball landscape, you’d be hard-pressed to find a pair much more qualified than these two. Between them, they own a grand total of 16 District 3 championships. Beyond that, they are two of the most legendary, much less winningest programs ever […]

So, what did you get for Christmas? After all, it was just the other day. Hopefully there was something nice waiting for you all gift-wrapped and whatnot sitting there under the tree. Hopefully nice for you personally, but not everyone was looking for something all that materialistic, mind you. No, especially not the Dallastown nor […]

Howdy y’all. From LLHoops HQ, we wanted to take a moment to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and happy holiday season. We sincerely hope you’ve been enjoying the coverage you’ve come to expect from the site in years’ past during this first, initial month of the season. While we all miss Dell […]

“What are you gonna do now?” While not necessarily the specific line that they have internally inside their own walls per se, that largely felt to be the prevailing theme from the outside chatter when it came to discussing the 2025-26 edition of the Lancaster Country Cougars. And frankly, like it or not, that outward […]
