GAME CANCELLED

After Tuesday night, there will still be two unbeaten teams in the Central League.

The Penncrest (10-0) at Conestoga (11-0) game that was scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Tuesday has been cancelled, according to Penncrest coach Mike Doyle. The Conestoga Athletic office said it was a "preemptive move" because of the ice storm headed our way.

The game is the only meeting this season between the teams, which are in the Central League's small- and large-school "divisions" (enrollment-based groupings used for scheduling purposes). Doyle said the game has been moved to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday.

For more information on the game and for future rescheduling of it, fans are urged to call Conestoga's sports hotline at 610.240.1042.

You heard it here first, folks.

Penncrest's Holman-Little gets extra year

The PIAA hears about 20 appeals each year from student-athletes wishing for an extra year of athletic eligibility.

Sometimes it's personal issues that prompt the request. Sometimes it's something completely out of their control.

Such was the case with Marvin Holman-Little, who attented two schools before transferring to Penncrest last year in the middle of his junior year. In that time he missed plenty of school - close to 100 days actually.

Earlier this month, Holman-Little's story was compelling enough to be granted an extra year of eligibility. A Division I talent, Holman-Little won't know his full potential until next season - which marks just his second full season of playing organized basketball.

For more on Marvin, pick up a copy of Sunday's Daily Times.

It's baseball season!

The winter really wasn't all that long. The Delaware Valley didn't even get a lot of snow.

But there's something special about baseball season.

New to the baseball beat, I got out to the season opener for both Penncrest and Sun Valley. The nonleague game went to pitcher Pat Smith (pictured) the host Lions, 5-3.

Be sure to check back throughout the baseball season for updates on players' stats, college committments and everything else you'd want to know about Delaware County teams on the diamond.
