(Photos courtesy of Mark Palczewski) By Kyle Morgan Devonne Pinkard’s basketball journey has been anything but predictable. From a decorated high-school career at McCaskey and Lancaster Catholic where he scored 1,000 points and earned All-State honors. To a respectable collegiate tenure at Delaware and a pro excursion into Mexico. Then back to Lancaster County to […]

By Kyle Morgan Who would you pick? The reigning league champions? Or the team with the best regular-season record?  Score one for the latter. Octorara has now earned the first L-L League playoff victory in program history with a 76-63 win over Cedar Crest, who won last year’s title game. That means there will be […]

To put it rather mildly, it’d be fair to suggest that it was far from Cedar Crest’s finest hour their last time out on the floor. In fact, it was a largely atypical performance for a Falcons’ program that has grown accustomed to rightly considering itself to be the grittiest, toughest, nastiest, insert any adjective […]

There’s a trend going around on the internet that says, “Not my house, but I know my way around.” Essentially, it’s another way of saying that while you may not actually own or live in the  space being referred to, you’re more than familiar with its surroundings. In Lancaster-Lebanon League boys’ basketball circles, there is […]

As we come down the final stretch of the regular season in the LL, there is still a lot to be determined in the final week of league play. Let’s take a look at where things stand before games tip on Thursday, January 29th. As always, views and opinions expressed in this column represent my […]

LLHoops was informed this morning that the entire Manheim Central Hoopfest has been postponed today due to weather conditions. We will provide a later update in the event that any of the day’s original matchups will be played at a future date with our livestream coverage to perhaps be provided as well.    Regardless of […]

Doors open at 2:30 p.m. and games begin at 3:00 p.m. The event is open to the public with a one-time $5 admission fee. All proceeds […]

It’s been a little quiet around here about them. Almost too quiet quite frankly. Part of that perhaps makes sense, doesn’t it? Graduating almost all the key pieces that were integral parts of back-to-back league championship runs. I mean, what could possibly be left up there in the cupboard still? Well, while that may all […]

      “The Team of the Decade.” How does one achieve such a distinction? Admittedly, it’s a bit of an inexact science in a way. Sometimes, it’s based purely on intuition and what your gut has to say about it. Ala, which programs routinely step up in the biggest of moments and routinely deliver […]

Both Warwick and Cedar Crest have a ton of size and depth. I thought that was the biggest factor in each teams win last night, outside of talent and execution. Who has more left in the tank down the stretch may factor into the final outcome again tomorrow Both games were within a single point […]

  It’s an unproven and unscientific fact, but there’s magic in this week. Otherwise, how could you possibly try and describe the way in which events transpired on Monday night? If you ask around, those with any sort of vested interest in the comings and goings surrounding the Lancaster-Lebanon League at large — but particularly […]

    In terms of their similarities, just go ahead and call them next to none. In fact, it might be easier to state their differences honestly. For starters, how about the stark separation between Section One and Section Four when talking about the Lancaster-Lebanon League’s overall landscape? Inside of District 3, yet again polar […]

First things first – my round one predictions were a little off, and that’s putting it nicely. I picked the Braves over the Warriors, had the Barons over the Buckskins, and in general predicted scoring totals that were too high. That said, I think the analysis was good even if the conclusions were mostly wrong […]

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 […]

  Video wrap   – The win by Cedar Crest created a 4-way tie for first place in Section 1 of the LL League. – Both Cedar Crest and Penn Manor came into the game with 3-2 records in section play, so this was an important game in determining the top teams in the section. […]
