The first league championship of the 15-16 school year was held at Tanglewood Manor Golf Course on September 28th.

Dom Oliveri of Conestoga Valley came in at -2 to win the boys competition.  On the girls side, 18 wasn’t enough as Manheim Township’s Adelyn Deery and Lancaster Mennonite’s Grace Stillman were tied at +7.  Deery came away with gold in a playoff.

In the team scoring, Manheim Township picked up their 5th consecutive and 16th overall Lancaster Lebanon League Championship trophy.

Congratulations to the Warriors of Warwick on being awarded the 2015 Spring Season Sportsmanship Award, and the 2014-2015 Academic Year Sportsmanship Award.  These awards are voted on by the Lancaster Lebanon League’s Athletic Directors.

Contacted via e-mail, Warwick Athletic Director Mr. Ryan Landis shared these thoughts:

“We were excited to win the award. Make no mistake, Warwick is far from perfect in terms of sportsmanship, like the other schools in the LL, we try our best to promote it…  I think we try to recognize positive examples and learn from other situations.”

When asked how sportsmanship is encouraged at Warwick, Mr. Landis cited coach evaluation procedures and team service projects:

“There are several initiatives that we have taken at Warwick in an attempt to promote sportsmanship. Head coaches’ behavior and demeanor plays a significant part of their evaluations. In addition, every team is required to participate in some sort of community service or charity. For example, our girls’ tennis team cleaned the campus of trash, our girls’ basketball team gave manicures to ladies at a local nursing home, swimming donates to a food bank, football and boys’ lacrosse provides holiday meals and gifts for families in need, the track team helps with Special Olympics, and the field hockey team cleans the park following the 4th of July. I’d like to think these types of acts help keep our kids grounded.”

 

On the eve of the 2015 fall sports season the Lancaster-Lebanon League is excited to announce a new look and layout to LL-League.com.

Here users will find:

• A new calendar, featuring meeting dates and playoff schedules.  Events will be added as they are announced, with playoff information being updated as it is available.
• Standardized layout of sport pages with current section alignment, defending champions and important dates.  This is a work in progress, with half of the pages completed.
• And we’re on twitter!  Follow us @LancLebLeague for the latest league playoff results and information.

In the future, look for an archive section, chronicling the 43 year history of the LL League.

Special thanks is due Rich Hinnenkamp, Athletic Director at Lancaster Catholic.  Mr. Hinnenkamp got the ball rolling on this website, laying the foundation and creating the very first version.

Congratulations to the Hempfield Blacks Knights for winning the LL League Boys Volleyball Championship.
