Bears beat L-S

I just got back from Conestoga Valley, where E-town beat Lampeter-Strasburg 63-51 in the quarterfinals of the L-L League playoffs.

This game was much closer than the final score indicates. E-town led by one after the first quarter and by three at the half. They then led by two after three quarters before pulling away in the final 4 minutes of the game. E-town led 47-45 with 4:25 to play, but then ended the game on a 16-6 run. I'll have much more on this game tomorrow and in this week's print edition of the Chronicle.

Here are the other scores from the boys games tonight. Yes, there was an upset.
Hempfield 59 - Lancaster Mennonite 39
Conestoga Valley 63 - Cocalico 42
Lancaster Catholic 58 - Penn Manor 52.

So, on Wednesday, Hempfield will play CV and E-town will take on Catholic at 7 p.m. at Hempfield. The Catholic win over PM could be considered an upset, but remember that LC has now won 13 straight games.

Kyle McNeil led E-town tonight with 22 points. Chad Styer added 16, Quinn Cozzens had eight, Jeremi Jones had 7 and Andrew Placeres had 7.

On either Tuesday or Wednesday (depending on when I have time to write it), we'll preview the E-town/Catholic semifinal matchup. That's all for tonight. Until tomorrow, cheers.
