Andy’s Take

(Josiah Hayes- LLHoops Player of the Game in ELCO win over Donegal)   The calendar tells us it’s December 13th. Maybe it’s still a little early to go and start throwing around the hyperbolic language, especially considering how divisional play hasn’t even started in some instances. Then again, it’s probably just a matter of who […]

Coming into the year, we knew it would be this way. We knew that the version of the Columbia Crimson Tide boys’ basketball team that last played in the state tournament against Math, Civics, and Sciences at Norristown High back in March wouldn’t resemble anything like the 2024-25 edition of the Tide. For starters, well, […]

In years previous, it’d be fair to say that the Manheim Township Blue Streaks boys’ basketball program was rather aggressive shall we say in their schedule-making. To be sure, seeing Township play game after game, day after day, to begin the regular season slate almost seemed to be an expected norm of sorts. This year […]

At this time a year ago, things couldn’t have been going much better for the Pequea Valley boys’ basketball program. After just the first full weekend of the season last year, the Braves wasted next to no time asserting themselves and injecting themselves into the conversation of feel-good stories by going to Tulpehocken in back-to-back […]

(Matt Knight. LLHoops POG In Twin Valley Win Over Northern Lebanon)   If you’ve been following along with the litany of preseason prognostications that have surrounded the start of the 2024-25 Lancaster-Lebanon League boys’ basketball season, there isn’t really a reason to be shy nor bullish on the prospects that make up the cast of […]

There are reasons for optimism around these parts this winter. And for good reason too. This season, it’d be more than fair to say that for the first time in a few handful of years, there are expectations being asked and laid at the feet of the Ephrata Mounts boys’ basketball team heading into the […]

Truthfully, you can’t really make this claim considering how early in the season it still is –especially being a game played on December 4th much less. But in some ways, Cocalico’s Wednesday night tilt at home this week against Governor Mifflin was a bit of a litmus test as to how the remainder of the […]

If you hadn’t already noticed, but it’s now the first few days of December, and we’re suddenly back to playing real basketball games with results that will have very real ramifications over the course of the next few months. Yes, it’s a bit of an oddity in fact considering how the season –usually—wouldn’t get started […]

As cliche as it may be, everyone is obviously giddy this time of year in the high school basketball world. And how could they not be considering hope springs eternal for everyone on the very first weekend of the season? Even still, there might be a few teams who eagerly await the start of a […]
