Andy’s Take

Truthfully, if you would’ve asked each of these two teams to perform an encore, it’d be a bit of a tough ask all things considered. After all, how do you possibly follow up their earlier meeting this winter which saw both clubs score northward of 80-points apiece, including one falling just five points shy of […]

You know that old cliché used in sports? The one that says, “You want to be peaking at just the right time?” Well, yeah, even here in the world of Lancaster-Lebanon League boys’ basketball in the year 2025, there are indeed some teams that seem to be prescribing to that notion with the season now […]

It’s finally that time of year when we can start talking about it. For some, it’s a topic to avoid like the plague. For others, it’s their north star that will be their guiding light over the last half of the regular season. That being the story of the looming District 3 playoffs of course. […]

Sawyer Floyd. LLHoops POG After 30-Point Night In Donegal Win Over ELCO   Back on the night of December 12th, the last time in which Donegal squared off with ELCO, it seemed possible that the end result that hinged on the outcome of that particular matchup would be a harbinger of things to come in […]

Most years, the vast majority of the Lancaster-Lebanon League boys’ basketball viewing audience isn’t really paying much collective attention to anything other than the Section One, perhaps even Section Two races, above all others from within the conference. In some respects, you can hardly fault the masses considering how the league’s top three winningest programs […]

Coming into this season, we figured that things would look a little bit different for the Cedar Crest Falcons in the 2024-25 campaign. Not the winning part, however. That’s something that’s now just inherently baked into their cake automatically every season given just how successful the Cedar Crest boys’ basketball program has proven itself to […]

There will come a day in the not-too-distant future when college students will write their doctoral thesis on this topic. If not that, then perhaps NASA would like to come in and do some kind of case study. That topic of course being Lancaster-Lebanon League Section One boys’ basketball during the 2024-25 season and how […]

  (Isaiah Wright. LLHoops POG In Solanco Road Win Over Ephrata)   Around this time of year, call it early to mid-January, this is usually the time during the season when the picture becomes a little clearer. The time of year when the section races take shape and teams either separate, hold on, or fade […]

Coming into the season, if we would have assumed that this would’ve been the matchup of all matchups that could potentially decide the eventual fate of Lancaster-Lebanon League boys’ basketball Section Two play as it relates to the 2024-25 season, it certainly didn’t seem all that farfetched of a notion. To their credit, the Warwick […]

Without getting in the way of any real debate, it’s been rather obvious that the Lampeter-Strasburg Pioneers have acquitted themselves quite nicely to a local audience over the years. Without going through their entire laundry list of achievements on the boys’ side of the basketball floor over the last several years – along with other […]

Michael Lower With Dell Jackson, His Dad’s Coach At Penn Manor, With Both G.J. And Michael Lower Now 1,000-Point Scorers At Penn Manor “Time waits for no man.” We’ve all heard that phrase before, I’m sure. Try as we might at times, there still hasn’t been a scientific way proven to not just stop the […]

Giovanni Sejuste. LLHoops POG In Linville Hill Win Over Lancaster Mennonite In Avon Grove Holiday Tournament. In retrospect, maybe this wasn’t the best place for this game. A game of this magnitude to take place. Nothing against the fine folks at Avon Grove of course. They have an absolutely beautiful, sprawling campus that comes complete […]

Over the course of Friday and Saturday this week, nearly the entirety of the Lancaster-Lebanon League boys’ basketball slate was chock full of holiday tournament games. Those are fine of course. Nothing wrong with the opportunity to be crowned a champion during the season. But sometimes there are hidden gems scattered about too. Headline games […]

This is usually the time of year when we start to get a clearer picture on things. A more concise view as to who exactly figure to serve in their respective roles in terms of being either a mover or a shaker in each of the four Lancaster-Lebanon League division races if you will. And […]

It’s just a couple of days before Christmas. Just a few more days until Santa leaves some presents underneath the tree. For high school basketball teams however, they’ll gladly take a prize on the 23rd as opposed to waiting until the 25th to open something up. And on a rare Monday afternoon high atop the […]
