SECTION CHAMPS
It has a nice ring to it, Section 4 champions, Lancaster-Lebanon League.
That's what the Columbia boys' basketball team was crowned Saturday afternoon around 2:30 at packed house at Penn Manor High School.
The Crimson Tide won its first Section 4 title with a dramatic 78-60 win over Lancaster Catholic in a one-game playoff to decide the Section 4 title.
The game happened because Catholic, with their backs to the wall, was able to stop the Tide's 20-game winning streak on Monday night.
Mike "Ice Man" Seibert was a cool 12-for-12 from the foul line, including 10-for-10 in the fourth quarter when the game went from a close game to a one-sided affair.
Adam Pittman, or Puttman, as said by the PA Announcer at Penn Manor, added 17 big points.
Another factor on offense, the boards and rebounding was Yahya McIntyre, who scored 10 points and hounded Catholic's big man Simon O'Leary. O'Leary led the Crusaders with 20 points, but had to take 25 shots to get those 20 points.
The "Super 7," the Tide's top seven players all had big roles in the game. Colby Tuell, despite fouling out, managed the point well. Ryan Hess took some nice passes from Tuell and Pittman, for eight points. Off the bench, Derrick Smith hit his only bucket at the end of the third quarter, which was huge and Ben Guiles added nine.
The section title, the first for Columbia in boys' basketball since 1991, was well deserved because of the hard work the players and coaches have put in this season.
Next up, the opening round of the L-L League playoffs on Tuesday night at CV against E-town. Check back tomorrow for a preview of that game from Chris McCarthy, the editor of the Elizabethtown Chronicle, who will report on how the Bears got to the playoffs.
