Andy’s Take

Ed note: We got thru some thunderstorms to get Coach “Muss”. All of us had a fun time, with the highlight being Andy hitting coach with a tough question about his starting 5 LL coaches for a five on 5 game:)     Interview via zoom/youtube

Ed note: Coach Chris Christensen shares some of his thoughts on mutli-sport atheletes, Section 1/2, and goals for the next season. Andy takes the lead tonight…Dell wanted to know about pay for view 🙂 Coach Christensen interview   Livestream Replay LL Boys Finals-– Warwick/Cedar Crest Feb 14

Ed note: Coach Smith has taken Crest to new heights. Coming off an LL title, he talks about his journey, the Lebanon County chip, and some dance moves (no kidding). Here is a guy who is home grown, knows the culture and creates his own culture within the school. Andy (with Crest gear on) and […]

Ed Note: Coach Treese joins Andy Herr and Dell for some hoops talk: program, LL and Berks Leagues , the ups and downs of being a head coach. Program and identity are the keys for Ephrata’s future. Sometimes media focuses on the top team/players, but everyone works at the game and life lessons.  Enjoy!   […]

Ed Note: Coach Jonathan Shultz gives LLhoops some insights into his program within the LL as a 1A team – the only one left in the LL for boys hoops. …and kicks us during LL trivia- great stuff!        

Ed Note: Coach Chris George gives us some thoughts on his program, Section 4, shot clock, boys/girls programs and his staff. Have to love his background as well! Enjoy!    

Ed Note: Andy and Dell take some turns talking with Cocalico’s head man. We find out about “Hogs” and “a day in the life”. It’s about 30 minutes. We used zoom for the video and posted it on LLhoops.com Utube page. Enjoy!    

Ed note: We continue with our replays of some the best covered games by LLhoops.com.  Andy brings us Cocalico/Man. Central. No matter how you try and slice it, there is simply nothing that can match, nor surpass the intensity of an excitement of a rivalry game. Okay, sure. But once you add in a healthy […]

Ed Note: Andy Herr and Dell discuss this and that around the LL. Last year, top games, All-llhoops.com Teams, PA writers process, etc…via zoom (at the bottom of the page)—-and some clips and picts!  Enjoy!         ALL LLhoops.com teams 2019-20   LLhoops.com lives-streamed games     LLhoops.com Shop- Ts for sale!   […]

Ed note: We continue with our replays of “Andy’s greatest games 2019-20”. Picts provided by Ke’Shauna Damore of various LCDay games.   Around this time a year ago, there was most certainly still a general sense of “newness” around the inner circle of Lancaster-Lebanon League high school basketball considering it marked the official introduction of […]

  When teams get set to enter the postseason, toying with lineups and determining how game minutes should be distributed is likely a point of discussion that is found somewhere near the absolute back-corner of the stove. Well, for most every team that is. On the night of the Warwick Warriors’ regular season home finale […]

Let’s face it. Now, given the world in which we all find ourselves living in, we’re all guilty in some form or fashion of falling victim to it. That being the struggle to find patience. In fact, while the saying itself hasn’t actually gone anywhere, the premise of, “There’s beauty in the struggle,” may not […]

Typically, making the state basketball tournament is an achievement that is so celebrated and cherished that it generally shouldn’t come with a prevailing sense of “Groundhog Day.” However, when speaking about the ELCO Raiders and their fans most specifically, that certainly had to be the overarching sentiment in their camp heading into their opening round […]

Without a shadow of a doubt, the PIAA state basketball tournament never ceases to fail in providing with its fair share of tantalizing and attractive matchups. That said, perhaps no other round within the dozen boys’ and girls’ statewide brackets comes with more appeal than that of the opening round of the two-week march onward […]

Perhaps the one aspect of a bracket-format playoff scenario that always seems to endear itself to the masses is the “win and go home” facet to it all. Certainly, in just a one game situation and no “best of” series, there’s no reason to think that anything that can’t, nor won’t happen. For it is […]
