Dell’s Column- Nov. 10, 2023

Welcome back to LLhoops and our 24th season!

A trip back memory lane!

LLhoops 2000

LLhoops 2008

LLhoops 2015

LLhoops 2018

We are working on a new splash page and redesign as we are working with Circle W Sports.
A big shout out to Circle W as they have been a tremendous help with our design and IT issues. We are hoping for a push-out at the end of Nov. There will be some slight changes, but the information on our site will still be there (standings, rosters, columns, live stream events etc.).

First night
Dec. 1st is the tip off night for most teams. Some have tournaments this weekend and a few teams have tournaments the following weekend. We will be working on schedules for the first weekend soon.

LLhoops Merch!
We will have some new tshirts this season. We have a very LIMITED stock of Beanies (orange and gray)

Rosters
We will be posting rosters as soon as we get them. Reminder to our coaches to send them our way once your teams are selected and uniforms are handed out.

Rules
Tom Eberly, Lancaster Officials rule interpreter, did a zoom interview with us recently. He went over some of the new rules (No more 1 plus 1 foul shots) and reviewed some others that cause some grief for players and writers 🙂

Sponsorship
It’s that time of year when we are asking for help to keep LLhoops.com a free source site – meaning there are no fees for the information and coverage that we provide. We will continue to cover games with recaps and have scheduled some live stream games. If interested in sponsoring llhoops.com this season, please contact us : webmaster@llhoops.com
A few who have already signed up this season- THANKS!

Andy Herr (@AndyBrackets)
Andy has done his homework this past summer/fall as he has checked out most of the LL teams before the season starts. He will try to continue his impressive streak of covering each LL team at least once during the season.

Live stream
We are working on a schedule for the 2023-24 season. We are planning on covering at least one game from each section in the LL. Bruce Badgley is our producer. Follow him (@BadgleyBruce). Warren Goodling has agreed to help us this season. We are working on procuring the LL finals- stay tuned. Check out our Youtube Channel for archived games and interviews.

Coverage
Dell, and Andy will continue to cover LL games. Jon K (@LLHoopsNEPbeat) and Phillip Thrash (@Phil_LLHoopsNEP) has the northern part of PA taken care of- including girl coverage. David Kehler (@david_kehler) gives us some wraps and thoughts from the Philadelphia area plus some coverage on non-PIAA teams. We are always looking for more coverage of different leagues (York, Berks, Mid Penn, etc.) We hope to have a few galleries this season as well. (We will work with any student groups if interested).
