Title Time for Mountaineers

: 31 January 2021; Written by Steve Navaroli – LNP

There was plenty of incentive for Ephrata’s swim teams when the Mountaineers hosted Elizabethtown and Conestoga Valley in a rare Lancaster-Lebanontrimeet at Ephrata recCenter on Saturday.

After all, both the Mountaineers and the Bears entered unbeaten in the boys standings and only one game separated the teams on the girls side. Wins over both Elizabethtown and CV meant Section Two regular-season titles, and Ephrata earned both those crowns by topping the Bears (105-65) and Conestoga Valley (128-60) in the boys meet and 106-64 against Elizabethtown and 140-29 versus the Bucks in the girls.

As junior Colby Simes said, repeating as sections boys champs was a major part of the discussion entering the meet.

Bears Log Another Win

Coming into the match with a league-best average of 1,012 pins per game, the Elizabethtown bowling team looked poised for its fifth straight 7-0 romp. It would have to come against Ephrata, a Lancaster- Lebanon League Section Two rival that had handed the Bears their only points lost this season.

But the Bears accomplished their mission, rolling to easy 1,066-944 and 1,189-1,068 wins in the first two games before rallying at the end to earn a 979-932 win in the third game Friday at Clearview Lanes. They won total by 290 pins (3,234-2,944).

“It was a nice win,” said Elizabethtown coach Frank Telenko, whose team is now 37-5 in Section Two (only section matches count in the standings). “I’m proud of the kids.”

Mounts Pull Away from Warriors

: 30 January 2021; Written by Jeff Reinhart – LNP

Warwick was back on the basketball court for the first time since Jan. 11 on Friday night at Ephrata, where the host Mountaineers were in action for the first time since Jan. 21.

This has not been a good stretch for some Lancaster-Lebanon League girls basketball teams, as squads across the area have been forced to shut down because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

After the Warriors and the Mountaineers kicked off some rust, it was Ephrata that got the final run and won it. Jasmine Griffin poured in 17 points, and Olivia Fedorshak, the Mounts’ lone 12th-grader, chipped in with nine points in the paint on Senior Night as Ephrata KO’d Warwick 37-25 in a Section Two clash.

Ephrata Hires New Lax Coach

Ephrata has found its new head coach for their boys lacrosse programs.

On Monday, the Ephrata board approved Manheim Township alum and former Wyomissing assistant Andrew Doupe as the Mountaineers’ new varsity coach.

Doupe, 28, is a 2010 Manheim Township graduate who played club lacrosse at Susquehanna University. He works fulltime as an accountant for SlateHouse Group Property Management. He was a Wyomissing assistant coach in 2016 and 2017, and spent the last year as the coach of the Class of 2024 team for the iM3 Lacrosse club program.
