    Elco’s Task is To Make All the Pieces Fit

    BY JEFF FALK  MYERSTOWN – Roles. Playing time. Rotations.  If you can have too much of a good thing, then the Elco girls’ basketball team has got a big problem. But as far as problems go, it’s a really nice one to have.  And when the Raiders do figure them out, those problems will turn […]

    Lebanon’s an Imperfect 3-0

    BY JEFF FALK LEBANON – Often, we associate winning with playing well – and vice versa. But there’s no rule that the two must always go hand-in-hand. If the Lebanon boys haven’t played their best basketball yet, just imagine what might happen when they do. On Monday night at Lebanon High School, the Cedars didn’t […]

    Improvement Works Wonders for Elco’s Self Image

    BY JEFF FALK MYERSTOWN – It’s still extremely early, and the Elco boys’ basketball team continues to learn. About the standard stuff, things like roles, situational inflections and work habits. But Elco is also discovering that not only is this year different, it’s unlike any one that’s ever come before. Yet perhaps most importantly, the […]

    In Return to Court, Falcons Floor Blue Streaks, COVID-19

On Friday night at ‘The Cage’, the Cedar Crest girls’ basketball team opened a COVID-19 shortened and Coronavirus-delayed season with a 36-23 victory over […]

  • “It’s never a bad problem to have. We have some depth. We have some size. We have kids who come in who are comfortable in their roles. Tonight, it was really everybody. It’s nice to have all of that. If someone isn’t having a great night, there’s always someone to step up.”

    – Elco Girls’ Basketball Coach Ashli Shay

  • “We did not play real well, to be honest. It was just some of the same issues we keep working through in practice, like limiting turnovers and making free throws. If we don’t improve, we’re not going to win a lot more games.”

    – Lebanon Boys’ Basketball Coach Tim Speraw

  • “You learned early not to take things for granted. We talk about it daily, ‘Let’s make sure every day counts’. Just appreciate the opportunity to compete, whether it’s in practice or a game. I think what it’s done for us is narrowed our focus to the more immediacy.”

    – Elco Boys’ Basketball Coach Brad Conners
