As is typically the case most every season, sometimes just a change in scenery can make a world of difference for a team. Or, more specifically, a change in the calendar if you will. For Annville-Cleona’s boys’ hoops squad, you’d understand as to why they were probably just as excited to watch the ball drop […]

If the prevailing notion posed by some (okay, perhaps just by yours truly most specifically) is that the road to the Section Two title entirely goes through Lititz this season, that very theme may have certainly been on display here of late. However, maybe not exactly in the manner that you would originally have suspected. […]

It’s finally time. Yes, with just a handful of weeks left to go inside the regular season, it’s time to take a gander at those District 3 power rankings once and for all. And as is typically the case, the big boys, those residing in the 6A world, generally happen to steal the show in […]

The last time we saw the Cocalico Eagles live and in action, their season was at a bit of a fork in the road if you will. Sure, that probably seems blasphemous on the surface considering that the Eagles were squarely staring down the barrel of a 3-0 start to section play –a start which […]

Apologies in advance for not knowing the number specifically, but let’s just keep it simple when we say that there have been more than a few basketball games played across the Lancaster-Lebanon League so far this season. And within that overwhelmingly large cluster of contests, there are a certain few that seem to stand out […]

Let’s just be perfectly frank here. If we’re talking about success inside the Lancaster-Lebanon League found on the boys’ basketball scene most specifically, surely we cannot have any semblance of an actual conversation if we were to neglect Lancaster Mennonite in any way, shape, or form. To put it mildly, there has arguably been no […]

 All it takes is a quick peek at the schedule to realize that we have arrived at Martin Luther King Jr weekend. And in many ways, the holiday smackdab in the middle of January can rightly serve as the officially unofficial line of demarcation if you will in terms of the halfway point of the […]

In the years since we’ve grown accustomed to seeing the Lancaster Country Day Cougars occupy a spot in the Lancaster-Lebanon League, we’ve seen this play out before. “This” meaning that the small private school in the conference –the lone one found in 1A ranks mind you — typically has dueling seasons of sorts. What we […]

While the season may still be relatively young at this point, one could also look at the body of work compiled by the Warwick Warriors so far this year and rightfully determine that it has been nothing if not a strong start to begin their campaign. In fact, some might even say historic in some […]

First of all, we must ask a question in advance here… Is it okay to type out loud that on January 5th, just four days after the clock struck midnight and rung in a brand-new calendar year, that two teams may wind up playing a basketball game that could largely come to define their respective […]

While some may not think it initially, sometimes teams from different lands are not all that far different from one another. Shoot, just look at both Dallastown and McCaskey for proof of that. Granted, aside from the actual logistics of both the Wildcats’ and Red Tornado’s operation itself –a break-neck pace that features an up-tempo […]

You know, one would have to think that if ever there was a group of players inside the entire Lancaster-Lebanon League that has become more keenly aware of the wild ups and downs associated with competing inside one of the area’s best conferences over the course of an entire season, it would most certainly be […]

Sometimes, all you really need on this wild and crazy highway known as the high school basketball season is a spark. It’s true. Even while those on the outside may not suspect it at first blush, but for or as long and as grueling as the year can be at times, it is easy to […]

To most certified hoop heads and to be honest, frankly degenerates, who fit the bill such as yours truly, McCaskey’s holiday tourney which they are hosting this year duties this year for is simply too good to pass up. After all, to say that local high school basketball royalty would be in attendance may not […]

Believe it or not, but we have officially reached the holiday week of the high school basketball season. And while this week isn’t quite a line of demarcation of sorts in that it marks the midway point of the year or anything finite such as that, it’s an important week for most everyone who has […]
