After a back-and-forth first half Monday night in which the Ephrata and Manheim Central boys’ soccer teams accounted for nearly a dozen combined shots on goal, the Mounts took control of the second half and dominated possession.

Dom Oliveri thought he had a good round of golf in him but it just hadn't happened.
In league matches this season, parts of his game were fine but nothing quite came together.
Until Monday.
Oliveri, a senior at Conestoga Valley, shot a 2-under 70 to win the boys' individual title at the Lancaster-Lebanon League championships at Tanglewood Manor Golf Club.
"Before the match, I thought, maybe today will be the day," he said.
Oliveri finished a stroke ahead of Ephrata's Matt Kreider and Manheim Township's Jacob Macinanti.
