Each year, these early days of January are most always reserved for New Year’s resolutions. Typically, while these are often goals set on an individual basis, so too can they apply to groups. Like, say Lancaster-Lebanon League boys’ basketball. Throughout the month of December, it’s admittedly been a bit of a rocky road for the […]

  Admittedly, there haven’t been more tougher starts to a season experienced that what the Donegal Indians boys’ basketball team was forced to endure prior to the beginning of this 2025-26 campaign. And that’s even taking aside their 0-7 record tabulated thus far in coming out the other side of the Christmas holiday with an […]

  In terms of royalty amongst the ranks of the central Pennsylvania high school basketball landscape, you’d be hard-pressed to find a pair much more qualified than these two. Between them, they own a grand total of 16 District 3 championships. Beyond that, they are two of the most legendary, much less winningest programs ever […]

So, what did you get for Christmas? After all, it was just the other day. Hopefully there was something nice waiting for you all gift-wrapped and whatnot sitting there under the tree. Hopefully nice for you personally, but not everyone was looking for something all that materialistic, mind you. No, especially not the Dallastown nor […]

Howdy y’all. From LLHoops HQ, we wanted to take a moment to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and happy holiday season. We sincerely hope you’ve been enjoying the coverage you’ve come to expect from the site in years’ past during this first, initial month of the season. While we all miss Dell […]

“What are you gonna do now?” While not necessarily the specific line that they have internally inside their own walls per se, that largely felt to be the prevailing theme from the outside chatter when it came to discussing the 2025-26 edition of the Lancaster Country Cougars. And frankly, like it or not, that outward […]

  As I sat down to write about Coach Joe Klazas, I kept coming back to a quote from my good friend and former teammate Chris Markel.    “He was and is a winner,” said Markel, a Class of 2009 standout guard, when asked to describe Coach Klazas.    Chris is unequivocally right. Simply put, Klazas is […]

Lancaster Mennonite continued their hot start to this season by defeating Devon Prep, last year’s 4A state champion, by a 60-47 final count Saturday night at home. Although Devon Prep made a charge inside the second half to get somewhat within reach, Mennonite was largely able to keep the Tide at arm’s length for the […]

The month of December is always a fun one around here when it comes to the world of high school basketball. Sure, aside from a Captain Obvious moment to mention how the 12th month on the calendar is always the first month of the hoops slate starting in full bloom, one of the better features […]

LLHoops is pleased to announce that we are starting up our livestream coverage this weekend with a tasty matchup between two of the best programs on the eastern side of the state in Devon Prep visiting Lancaster Mennonite on Saturday night.   Devon Prep, last year’s 4A state champion, visits the outskirts of Lancaster city on […]

Between the two West Shore Keystone teams, there is a little bit of a crosstown rivalry, with only 10 miles separating the distance between the two schools. For Coach Rutherford, it was another homecoming as he was a former Mechanicsburg graduate and the interim head coach for the Wildcats only a few seasons ago. Cedar […]

  Come the middle of February, this is exactly the place where everyone aspires to be. It might not come with necessarily all the glitz and glamour of some spacious building that can host a variety of events like concerts and such, but to all the boys’ basketball teams that call the Lancaster-Lebanon League their […]
