Mounts hold off Braves
- 26 October 2019
ATGLEN — Octorara tried to play the spoiler Friday night. But in the end, Ephrata took care of its business.
Now the Mounts will wait anxiously over the next day or two to see if it was enough.
The Mounts entered Friday’s Lancaster-Lebanon League Section Three contest at Octorara needing a win to stay alive for a District Three Class 5A playoff berth. Ephrata, ranked 15th in 5A — the top 14 teams qualify — hasn’t qualified for districts since 1987, but the Mounts put themselves in contention with a big second-half effort that yielded a 35-14 [boxscore] victory over the Braves.
