Andy’s Take
Despite Difficult Start To The Season, Donegal’s Steely Resolve Shines Through As Indians Stare Down East Pennsboro, Fall Just Short In Quest For Elusive First Victory
December 30, 2025 Andy HerrAdmittedly, 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 […]
Barnes’ 38-Point Day Paves The Way As York High Bests McCaskey In Sunday Special To Take Latest Chapter In Age-Old Rivalry, Claim Third-Place Honors In Hagelgans & Veronis Tornado Holiday Classic
December 28, 2025 Andy HerrIn 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 […]
In Microcosm Of Season To Date, Dallastown Responds To Early Adversity As Wildcats Erase Second Half Deficit, Ride Roberts’ Big Night Past Penn Manor To Championship Game Of Warwick Holiday Tournament
December 27, 2025 Andy HerrSo, 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 […]
Merry Christmas, Thank You Sponsors, And Thank You Fans

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 […]
Lancaster Country Day Receives Good Tidings Found In Victory Prior To Christmas Holiday As Cougars Erase Second Half Deficit, Snap Two-Game Losing Skid With Hard-Fought Triumph Over Schuylkill Valley
December 23, 2025 Andy Herr“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 […]
Behind Book And Witman’s Big Nights (And Some ‘GWP’s’), Manheim Central Scores Key December Section Win In Defeating ELCO As Barons Aim To Regain ‘Rhythm’
December 20, 2025 Andy HerrThe month of December is always a fun one around here when it comes to the world of high school basketball. Sure, aside from a Captain Obvious moment to mention how the 12th month on the calendar is always the first month of the hoops slate starting in full bloom, one of the better features […]
Following Senior-Led Team Meeting, Manheim Township Responds By Knocking Off McCaskey As Blue Streaks Inject Themselves Into Section One Leadership Discussion
December 19, 2025 Andy HerrCome the middle of February, this is exactly the place where everyone aspires to be. It might not come with necessarily all the glitz and glamour of some spacious building that can host a variety of events like concerts and such, but to all the boys’ basketball teams that call the Lancaster-Lebanon League their […]
Solanco Continues Sizzling Start As Golden Mules Add Another Early Pelt In Knocking Off Garden Spot, Keep Pace With Divisional Leaders
December 18, 2025 Andy HerrWhen you’re in the middle of a title chase, style points don’t necessarily matter all that much. Sure, it’s great to have an average margin of victory that makes you feel all fat and happy, but those can sometimes be nothing more than empty calories. And while section play only just commenced around the […]
Despite Tough Start To The Season, Columbia’s ‘Character Win’ Over Pequea Valley Provides Added Boost As Crimson Tide Hope To Continue ‘Turning The Corner’
December 17, 2025 Andy HerrIn years past, this matchup probably would’ve been glossed over without much in the way of fanfare. Not that it was anyone’s inherited fault, mind you. Short of relitigating all the intricate details when it comes to detailing this matchup – this game within the series particular – let’s just cut to the chase and […]
Young Dutchmen Hang Tough, Fall Victim To Lancaster County Christian Fourth Quarter Surge As Lions Nab Key Road Victory At Annville Cleona For Themselves, CCAC On Monday Night
December 16, 2025 Andy HerrIt’s the third full week of December. It’s been a few days (literally) since section play around the Lancaster-Lebanon League officially commenced. A big chunk of everyone’s respective resumes thus far is attributed to that of the legwork done in the non-con portion of the slate. We’re still a week out from Christmas. And we’re […]
Celebrating (And Commemorating) A Memorable Finish To Wrap Up Last Week
December 14, 2025 Andy HerrThis past week saw the start of section play officially commence around the Lancaster-Lebanon League. Typically, that would be the most newsworthy tidbit that the week would usually offer. However, especially at the tail end of the week in particular, the L-L was fortunate enough to see some key milestones be reached from both those […]
Following Torrid First Half Start, Cocalico Withstands Solanco’s Second Half Push As Eagles Ride Hambright’s 30-Point Night To Critical Early Season Section Triumph
December 10, 2025 Andy HerrWithout fail, Mother Nature always has a funny way of inserting herself into the conversation when it comes to winter weather found here in central Pennsylvania, almost always throwing a wrench into everyone’s collective plans as it relates to high school basketball most of all. Funny thing is, she wasted little time this year […]
After Emotional First Weekend, L-S Steadies The Ship, Closes Out E-town As Pioneers Climb To 2-1 Record Heading Into Section Play
December 9, 2025 Andy HerrComing out of the first weekend of the season, to suggest that the shared experiences found inside their respective tip-off tournaments in which they played were a bit of a mixed bag when referencing both Elizabethtown and Lampeter-Strasburg might be a bit of disservice. For starters, coming out the initial weekend with a pair of […]
In Game Worthy Of Championship Distinction, Ephrata Prevails Over Palmyra In Double Overtime Thriller To Claim Mountaineer Tip-Off Title As Mounts Notch ‘Incredible’ Victory
December 7, 2025 Andy HerrMaybe it’s cliché and hokey. Maybe it’s not. Either way, the fact of the matter is that when it comes to first full week of the high school basketball season at the start of every December, there are championships to be won coming out of the weekend. For some, winning a tip-off tourney title likely […]
Muhlenberg Holds Off Cedar Crest In Early Playoff-Like December Game Between Two 6A Stalwarts As Mulhs Refuse To Blink, Move To 2-0 In Defeating Two-Time Defending L-L League Champs
December 6, 2025 Andy HerrIt’s been a little quiet around here about them. Almost too quiet quite frankly. Part of that perhaps makes sense, doesn’t it? Graduating almost all the key pieces that were integral parts of back-to-back league championship runs. I mean, what could possibly be left up there in the cupboard still? Well, while that may all […]
