Northern Lebanon 93, Biglerville 51

After opening the Northern Lebanon Holiday Tournament with a tough loss to Tulpehocken on Friday, the Vikings were back on the floor Saturday afternoon in the consolation game against Biglerville. This time, there was little doubt about the outcome from the opening tip.

Northern Lebanon came out firing in the 1st quarter, erupting for 32 points. Carter Moyer led the early charge with 14 points, while Bryce Martin added 10 of his own. Both knocked down a pair of three-pointers as the Vikings raced out to a 22-point advantage.

The offensive onslaught continued in the 2nd quarter, with scoring coming from all over the floor. Martin poured in 9 more points, while Kael Erdman, Ryan Clemmer, Trent Walborn, and Moyer each connected from beyond the arc. By halftime, Northern Lebanon had piled up 62 points and built a commanding 37-point lead.

The 2nd half was played at a more controlled pace as the Vikings cruised to the victory, still adding 31 points to finish the game with an impressive 92-point effort.

Moyer finished with a game-high 26 points, including four three-pointers, while Martin followed closely with 21. In all, 11 different Vikings found the scoresheet, and Northern Lebanon connected on 13 three-pointers as a team.

Northern Lebanon (5-6) will look to carry that offensive momentum into the new year when they return to action on January 3rd with a road game at Susquehannock.

NL Scoring: Moyer 26, Martin 21, Clemmer 9, Erdman 6, Via 6, Shireman 5, Martin 5, Anspach 5, George 5, Hoffer 4, Walborn 3, Hornberger 3

Northern Lebanon 63, Kutztown 61 [2 OT]

After winning two straight before dropping a road game on the back end of a back-to-back, the Vikings were back in action for the third time in four days, traveling to Kutztown looking to return to the win column.

The opening quarter was tightly contested, with Kutztown holding a slim 12-11 edge. Northern Lebanon responded in a big way in the 2nd quarter, outscoring the Cougars 20-12 to take a 31-24 lead into halftime. The Vikings were lethal from the perimeter in the first half, knocking down seven three-pointers, with Carter Moyer leading the way with 8 points.

Kutztown worked steadily over the next two quarters to erase the deficit, forcing the game into overtime. The first extra period solved nothing, as both teams scored 7 points, sending the contest to a second overtime.

In the second OT, Northern Lebanon found another gear. Andrew Via took control, scoring 11 of the Vikings’ 13 points in the extra sessions as Northern Lebanon outlasted Kutztown to secure the two-point victory.

Via finished with a game-high 24 points, with 20 of those coming in the second half and overtime. Moyer added 18 points, including three three-pointers, while Ryan Clemmer contributed 9 points with three triples of his own.

Northern Lebanon (4-5) will return to action on Friday when they open play in the Holiday Tournament they are set to host.

Palmyra 55, Mifflin County 48

On Monday evening, the Cougars hosted Mifflin County, welcoming the Huskies east for a non-league matchup. Palmyra got off to a slow start, trailing 10-6 at the end of the 1st quarter. The Cougars found more rhythm offensively in the 2nd quarter, but were only able to trim the deficit to three points by halftime.

Coming out of the break, Palmyra quickly erased that deficit behind a big 3rd quarter from Micah Warner, who scored 9 points in the frame to give the Cougars the lead heading into the final quarter.

The pace picked up in the 4th as Mifflin County pushed to regain control, but Palmyra answered with balanced scoring. Warner, Braydon Bown, and Tommy Steelman each scored 5 points down the stretch as the Cougars closed out the victory.

Warner, aka “Big Mike”, finished with a career-high 20 points to lead Palmyra, while Bown, who knocked down two three-pointers, added 19 points.

Palmyra (3-5) will have a few days to regroup before heading to Cedar Crest on Monday for the Holiday Tournament where they will face Exeter in the first round.

Palmyra Scoring: M. Warner 20, B. Bown 19, T. Steelman 8, B. Kyper 4, L. Grumbine 2, M. Kyper 2
