Andy’s Take

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 […]

This time of year, all one needs to do is to take a step outside and feel just how cold and unforgiving the winter season can be at times. In some ways, while not necessarily a direct line of comparison you’d always think, so too can this time of year be just as harsh and […]

For anyone tasked with the assignment of trying to make prognostications as for how this year of Lancaster-Lebanon League boys’ basketball year ultimately figured to take shape and who the favorites might be prior to the start of the season, it would be a bit of an unenviable task quite frankly. Section One? Good luck […]

  Without taking the time to sit down and compile the math behind it all, let’s just cut to the chase and say that there are a litany of games played every year inside the Lancaster-Lebanon League boys’ basketball scene. When you consider that the conference contains 25 programs who can play up to 22 […]

If you find yourself playing in what most would coin to be a “big game” when the calendar reflects that its only December 17th, chances are that expectations are high for you and your team. On Tuesday night up in Fredericksburg, that was indeed the subplot that surrounded this Lancaster-Lebanon League Section Four affair. For […]
