L-L Girl’s Basketball: Hempfield vs. Warwick (1-14-22)

Gutsy effort from Manheim Central Girls, who were missing 2 key starters against Lancaster Catholic… including the L-L’s leading scorer Maddie Knier! Crusaders got the win 42-32, but credit the Lady Barons, who pushed Catholic to the limit for 3 quarters! Here are the highlights...

It's a Senior Night victory for Ephrata, who beat Conestoga Valley 16-5! Lady Mounts woke the bats up in the 2nd inning, scoring 7 runs and NEVER looked back! Hot bat of the night belonged to Senior Maddie Russell... 5-5, 3 doubles, 1 triple, 1 single, 5 RBI, 2 runs scored... as well as 4+ shutdown innings in the circle!

-- Ephrata swept the season series 3-0 against CV, with games against JP McCaskey, Lebanon, Elizabethtown & Dallastown still left on the schedule!

Manheim Central and Cocalico wrestled a WHOPPER of a match as the Section 2 Title was on the line for the Barons! It was back & forth all night... but Central sent out their Hammer, Brett Barbush to seal it with a pin at 160lbs! Barons won 32-30 & moved to 6-0 in Section 2 with one match remaining against Donegal on January 25!

Warwick and Manheim Central braved the elements for a non-league showdown in L-L Softball! Warwick came away with the victory 11-2 over Central! Warriors jumped out to an early 4-0 lead & tacked on more to lead it 8-0 after 3 innings! Warwick's Mackenzie Ellis, Sophia Steffy & Sophie Smutz each had a pair of hits & runs to get the Offense going! Warriors Pitching Ace Kate Shaak (7 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 3 BB, 13 K) went the distance for her 37th Career Win! Central’s Kayleigh Detz had a triple & a single (her courtesy runner scored both runs)... Abbi Logan had a pair of RBI singles!
