Presidents’ Day Weekend traditionally marks the end of the league postseason and the start of the District postseason. 2023 is no different as singles bowling champions were crowned and basketball championships were decided in the LL League Championships presented by Orthopedic Associates of Lancaster.
On the oiled hardwood Morgan Kline of ELCO was the top bowler in the Girls Singles competition after the first 6 games, wracking up 1405 which was nearly 200 ahead of #2 Taylor Miller of Warwick. Lacey Slaymaker of Penn Manor was #5 but emerged from the Step Ladder bracket to face Miller. Miller won that matchup, but fell to Kline 224-203 as Kline brought home the gold.
