Dallastown 55, Cedar Crest 36
In the first round of the District 3 playoffs, the #14 seeded Cedar Crest Lady Falcons traveled to face the #3 seeded Dallastown Wildcats, a program that is no stranger to postseason basketball after reaching each of the last two District Championship games and winning the title a year ago.
Early on, Cedar Crest showed it was not intimidated by the moment, trading baskets with the Wildcats through the opening quarter. Dallastown held a slim 11-9 lead after one, with sophomore Ali Groff doing the damage for the Falcons by scoring 7 points in the frame.
Cedar Crest kept pushing in the 2nd quarter and managed to swing the momentum before the break. Ali Groff added five more points, and Elli Malinoski knocked down a pair of 3-pointers as the Lady Falcons took a 23-22 into halftime.
Out of the break, Dallastown leaned on its experience and depth, outscoring Cedar Crest 14-6 in the 3rd quarter to regain the lead, then finishing the job with a strong 4th quarter to pull away for a 55-36 win and protect its home floor.
In the loss, Groff led Cedar Crest with 13 points, including two 3-pointers and a 5-for-6 night at the foul line. Senior Kaila Francis, the program’s 1,000-point scorer, closed her high school career with 8 points.
Cedar Crest finishes the 2025-26 season with a 14-12 record. While the Lady Falcons will graduate a major piece in Francis, the future remains bright as Cedar Crest is set to return four starters when it takes the floor again next season.
