Lady Mounts into Quarter Finals

: 11 February 2022; Written by Jeff Reinhart – LNP

Two games. Two spots in the Lancaster-Lebanon League girls basketball quarterfinals up for grabs. And a couple of really solid matchups that weren’t settled until the fourth quarter.

The league’s play-in games were contested Thursday night at Warwick, with Section Two co-champ Ephrata and Section Three cochamp Lampeter- Strasburg picking up hard-fought victories.

The Mountaineers broke away late from Section Four runner-up Elco for a 46-38 win in Thursday’s opener.

TITLE TIME FOR MOUNTS

Ephrata’s Chad Jones admits that his mind was on little other than Thursday’s big Lancaster-Lebanon League Section Two swim meet at Elizabethtown.

Both the boys and girls competitions had championship implications. With wins, the Mountaineers would wrap up the section titles. Wins by the Bears would clinch at least a tie for the crown.

“All week long, that’s all I’ve been thinking about,” he said. “Monday night in the living room I told my mom, ‘E-town Thursday, E-town Thursday.’ It’s all I’ve been thinking about and it paid off.”

Youth Prevails on Senior Night

Colby Simes and the rest of the Ephrata seniors celebrated their final home swimming meet at the Ephrata Rec Center Tuesday against rival Cocalico.

However, even with the senior ceremony taking place at intermission, it was the Mountaineers’ underclassmen who stole the show.

While Simes did his part, winning the 200-yard freestyle and 100 free, the rest of Ephrata’s individual wins — for both boys and girls — came from those not a part of the festivities.
