Changes in Basketball Section Standing Calculations

In response to the ever changing landscape of interscholastic athletics and the unprecedented challenges caused by COVID and now the weather, the Lancaster Lebanon League Executive Committee, at the recommendation of the L-L League Basketball Sports Chair, has approved modifications that will help alleviate the pressure of rescheduling games. Effective immediately, the following shall apply:

Crossover games will NOT count towards a team’s Section/League record.  Section games only will impact standings and determine champions.  Ties will be determined by criteria (Head to Head, D3 Power Ranking.

The expectation of the L-L League is for all crossover games to be played.  The order of priority when rescheduling games: Section games, Crossover games, Non-League Games.

Section Alignments 2022-2024

Interscholastic athletics runs in a 2 year cycle.  Every two years enrollment classifications can change (A, AA, AAA, etc. for District 3 and PIAA purposes) and the Lancaster-Lebanon League adjusts section alignment.  

The following section alignments will take effect for the 2022-2023 academic year and run through the 2023-2024 academic year.  As a reminder, football alignments, which now include Berks County schools, were announced earlier.  Alignments are proposed by a realignment committee and voted on by the league athletic directors and then principals.  Each sport is voted separately, and only schools which participate in a given sport vote to approve or deny a sports realignment proposal.

Girls Cross Country Results 2020

On a day with weather to match yesterday’s boys’ championship, the girls contest was more hotly contested in both the individual finish and the team scoring.

Alyssa Fedorshak of Ephrata crossed the line first in 19:29, just 3 seconds ahead of runner up Anna Martin of Warwick.  Martin was the first of 4 Warriors in the top 20, and with the 5th scorer in 25th overall, it was enough to edge McCaskey by one point for the team title.
