Cross Court Vision: Octorara v Manheim Central
January 15, 2025 Sterling CrossOff the Court: The combination of fans in attendance and physical size makes Octorara feel like the smallest gym in the LL (maybe there is technically a smaller one somewhere in section 4).

In Battle Between Two District 3-6A Power Brokers, Wilson Completes The Job, Keeps Cedar Crest At Arm’s Length As Bulldogs Prevail In Saturday Nonconference Affair
January 11, 2025 Andy HerrComing 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.
