Boys Basketball: Daniel Boone vs. Ephrata (1-23-23)

Happy Throwback Thursday to the Warwick Boys Basketball program!! On this day, 1 year ago, Warwick played Lancaster Catholic in the L-L League Semifinals! The Crusaders were up big in the first quarter, until a little known player named Chase Krall entered the game! What happened from that point on will live on in Lancaster-Lebanon League Playoff, Warwick Basketball & Blue Ridge 11 history... FOREVER!! Take a look back with us...

Warwick had Penn Manor on “upset alert” late in this ballgame… all tied 4-4 heading into the 7th inning! But the Comets pushed 3 runs across in the top of the 7th & slammed the door shut to win 7-4! Penn Manor won the season series 3-0 & kept their League Playoff hopes alive (but ultimately fell 1 win short to qualify)!

In a “Battle of the Unbeatens” early in the Section 2 season, Manheim Central took Cocalico’s Best shot but handed the Eagles their first loss of the year… 3-1 (25-14, 23-25, 25-22, 27-25)! Reagan Miller had a big day for the Barons with 21 kills & 2 huge aces in Game 4! Cocalico’s Colson Hildebrand had 14 kills for the Eagles!

🔹Round 2 is at Cocalico on Thursday, April 24… By the way, Manheim Central is ranked #2 in AA in the State!

Ephrata & Warwick traded runs & the lead several times in their showdown, but it was Warwick with 5 runs in the final 2 innings to win 10-6! Warriors 7-8-9 hitters (Loraw, Meck & Valudes) reached base 11 times, scoring 7 runs!

▪️Michael Valudes (Warwick): 4 RBI, 2 R, 2 BB, 1B, 2B
