Lebanon 53, Manheim Township 42

On December 14th, Manheim Township handed Lebanon a loss as the Cedars began their defense of the Section 1 Championship. On Saturday evening, Lebanon had a chance to regain control of the Section when they hosted the Blue Streaks. A lot has changed since the first meeting between the two teams, with Lebanon having won eleven straight games entering this clash. With Township still looking good, this looked like a marquee matchup.

Lebanon was able to build an early lead in the 1st quarter, with four starters scoring for the Cedars. Liliana Harrison led with 4 points, including going 2-2 from the foul line. In the 2nd quarter, Kailah Correa would become the final starter to score when she accounted for 7 points in the frame. At halftime, the Cedars held a 26-20 lead over the Streaks.

Unfortunately, things didn’t click for Lebanon in the 3rd quarter, and Township was able to claw its way back into the game as Ava Byrne scored 6 of her 23 points. With the score tied entering the 4th, the Cedars looked to regain momentum. Naturally, they turned to Correa. With #1 answering the call, she scored 13 points down the stretch. Lebanon went 7-8 on free throws as a team, making it difficult for Township to respond.

Correa finished the game with 23 points, including two three-pointers and a 3-3 performance from the charity stripe. Harrison also found herself in double-figures, scoring 13.

Lebanon (14-2) will look to defend their 12-game winning streak when they host McCaskey on Tuesday.

Lebanon Scoring: K. Correa (23); L. Harrison (13); O. Brandt (7); J. Burrus (5); T. Camuy (3); Z. Whigham (2)

Northern Lebanon 47, Cocalico 33

Northern Lebanon went into Thursday’s road game at Cocalico looking to complete the season sweep of the Eagles.

In the 2nd quarter, Northern Lebanon recovered on their way to tying the game by halftime. After halftime adjustments, the Vikings got hot and began scoring from all over the floor. As they entered the 4th with an 11-point lead, Northern Lebanon was able to continue their offensive turnaround on their way to the win.

Hayley Sheroky led Northern Lebanon, scoring 15 points. Olivia Shutter hit four three-pointers on her way to scoring 14 points, all of which came in the 2nd half.
