Tennis and Lacrosse are in the books, but the busiest weekend of the spring playoff season is approaching as the Lancaster Lebanon League Championships presented by Orthopedic Associates of Lancaster get underway in Track, Boys Volleyball, Baseball and Softball.

Hempfield at Warwick finish the season as co-champions of Section 1 in Boys Volleyball.  By virtue of a better District 3 power rating Warwick has the honor of hosting the semifinals.

The LL League regular season for Lacrosse has concluded and the brackets for the Orthopedic Associates of Lancaster LL League Championships are set.

Semifinals will be on Tuesday, May 10th, finals Thursday, May 12th.

History was made and history repeated itself in the 2022 edition of the LL League Boys Tennis Championships presented by Orthopedic Associates of Lancaster.

Lancaster Country Day claimed their first LL League team title in any sport since joining the league.  The Cougars entered the tournament as Section 3 Champion and top seeded AA team.  

In the flight tournament, Nile Abadir of Lancaster Country Day defended his 2021 Flight 1 AA Singles title.  And just like 2021, he teamed up with Fred Bloom to win the Flight 1 AA Doubles title.  On the AAA side, Freshman Cooper Lehman of Hempfield won Flight 1 Singles.  Rocco Shkreli and Garrett Muraika of Cedar Crest combined to win Flight 1 Doubles.
