Andy’s Take

Without fail, one of the most fun, yet equally grueling aspects of being considered a member of the media is putting your prognosticator cap on prior to the start of the season and determining who you think will ultimately rise to the top and compete for a league championship. And if we’re talking about the […]

It’s certainly no secret that the Christmas season is most often a time of the year that has become synonymous with generosity and a prevailing sense of overall giving. In that regard, please forgive the Conestoga Valley Buckskins well in advance if they were found to be feeling anything but joyous and festive just two […]

For most of us when we were in school, there simply were few days during the year that could possibly rival the excitement that came with day right before holiday break. If there wasn’t a party involving food to be found in every class, there most certainly was a movie day mixed in somewhere else […]

Lady Momentum. If you can get her to look in your direction, she can end up being the best dancing partner that you could possibly waltz with. But, if she should scorn you, she’ll heartlessly leave you out in the cold and left wondering what as to what exactly went wrong as you sit idly […]

Chances are that when people think of Lancaster-Lebanon League basketball, they often think of the big schools. You know, the Cedar Crest’s, McCaskey’s, Manheim Township’s, and Lebanon’s of the local world. Okay. Fair enough. But failing to look past, say Section 1 or Section 2, would be an incredible disservice to the league’s overall history. […]

When Solanco and Ephrata got together to play a basketball game and found themselves looking across the sideline and staring back at one another on Thursday night, there was an undeniable case of good news/bad news left wafting in the air. The bad news? The fact that neither the Golden Mules nor the Mounts had […]

While all teams from within the L-L League likely could not contain their excitement for this past Friday night and the beginning of this season, perhaps there was perhaps no squad more eager to get things underway than the Donegal Indians. It’s certainly understandable too. After securing a District 3 playoff bid just two seasons […]

Okay. Let’s just get this out of the way right now. Yes, while the season is still not even a week old, there were a few teams inside the Lancaster-Lebanon League that already found themselves at a crossroads of sorts with the year still well in its infancy. And hyperbole or not, one of those […]

While Monday night around the Lancaster-Lebanon League basketball scene may have only signified just the third night of what promises to be a fun-filled and action-packed marathon to the finish line come early February, teams from around the league weren’t exactly dipping their toes into the water to start the season. No, especially not when […]

When talking about last season as it pertains to Octorara athletics, it’d be apropos to suggest that it was a year unlike any other that the Braves had experienced in quite some time. Why? Well, maybe the fact that Octorara was entering a whole new world considering the Braves were now a full-charter member of […]

Although it may be a phrase most commonly associated with the sport of horse racing, there is an undeniable fact that the teams that make up the vast and seemingly ever-growing Lancaster-Lebanon League basketball landscape are always aiming to hit the ‘triple crown’ each and every year. What is this sometimes-elusive goal that seems to […]

This list is some of the players to watch this season. The order is based on school alpha first, then player alpha second. Best to these and all LL hoopsters this season. Enjoy! Section 1 Ileri Ayo-Faleye (Cedar Crest) Jason Eberhart (Cedar Crest) Trey Shutter (Cedar Crest) Ryan Hilton (Hempfield) Zach Oldac (Manheim Township) Ben […]
