READING — Matt McGillan found out Wednesday night at practice he would be handed the ball for Ephrata's first appearance in a district title game.

“He's a senior," Mountaineers skipper Adrian Shelley said. "He's earned it."

With the aid of clutch hitting, solid defense and an inning's worth of relief from his brother Zach, a freshman, Matt earned something else — a 7-4 victory over Governor Mifflin and District Three Class AAAA gold Thursday at Reading's First Energy Stadium.

In the first inning Dillon Good slammed the door.

Then the Ephrata ace double-locked it.

Riding a fastball that seemingly generated as much heat as Tuesday’s high-80s temps in Hummelstown, Good shut down Cumberland Valley 1-0 on four hits to lead the Mountaineers to their first District Three title game and clinch the program’s first PIAA playoff berth.

DALLASTOWN -- Penn Manor's boys' volleyball team is headed back to the District Three Class AAA championship match, thanks to its serve and ability to play consistently enough that its semifinal opponent, Ephrata, could not make a run Wednesday night.

The Comets, the No. 2 seed, recorded a 3-0 (25-18, 25-21, 25-16) sweep of the Mounts and will play Lancaster-Lebanon League and Section One foe Hempfield, the No. 1 seed, for the district title at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Dallastown High School.
