Andy’s Take

Graduation. It’s a time typically met with upmost joy that pairs nicely with pure, unbridled excitement. But forgive Garden Spot boys’ basketball coach Nate Musselman and Northern Lebanon head man Chris George if they weren’t seen doing much in the way of celebrating at the end of the last school year. After all, out of […]

Nearly 365 days ago, the McCaskey Red Tornado made the short trek up the road to take on the Conestoga Valley Buckskins for what appeared on the surface to be your average ho-hum L-L Section 1 contest without much in the way of flair. However, at that conclusion of the night almost one year ago, […]

Death, taxes, and the Hempfield Black Knights reloading on the hardwood. Alright, alright. Maybe that last addition isn’t exactly how the saying goes, but in reality, it isn’t exactly untrue either. After losing what had been the last remaining pieces of a core group that had been instrumental in taking the Black Knights on long […]

The old saying goes that all roads lead to home. Well, as far as it related to both ELCO and Cocalico on Friday night, all roads would lead to Denver for the Raiders and Eagles, with both squads looking to make resounding opening statements on this the first night of league play around the L-L […]

When Lancaster Mennonite and Lancaster Country Day faced off against one another in Thursday night’s Lancaster-Lebanon League lid-lifter, there were storylines aplenty. For Lancaster Mennonite, last year was year to remember. In fact, only one other year, 2002, can rival what the Blazers were able to accomplish last year — A berth in the state […]

Every year, the promise and optimism that comes along with the start of a new season is a very real and a very tangible feeling for fans, players, and coaches alike. However, if you wish to seek out the location above all others that may contain the most excitement? Perhaps you’d be best-served to head […]

At the start of any new season, getting off to a fast start is definitely the most desired of routes from which to take. Unfortunately however, especially in the world of high school basketball and yearly tip-off tournaments, that can’t always be the case for everyone. And as it related to E-Town and Solanco most […]

While it may be true that the 2018-19 high school basketball season is still only in its infancy, it would also be valid to suggest that the opening weekend of the season has already provided us with intriguing storylines and teams to follow after just the first few initial days of action. Perhaps none more […]

In basketball, much like in life, every day presents an opportunity to grow and improve. And while Saturday afternoon in the 3rd place game at the Exeter Tip Off Tournament may not have been exactly the learning lesson that either Manheim Central or Ephrata truly wanted to absorb just two days into their seasons, both […]
