The new week began in typically quiet fashion on Monday, Tuesday night was the first winter sports event in the gym at McCaskey. I rarely get to see our girls basketball team play since most of their games coincide with when the boys are in action, on this night Warwick was the opponent for a non-league game. The LL League realigned for the new season from five divisions to four, the previously-mandated crossover games against the teams in Section Two are a thing of the past. Under the new alignment the girls play the same divisional opponents as the boys, two games each against old foes Hempfield, Manheim Township, Penn Manor and Cedar Crest plus new addition Lebanon with the remaining twelve games on the schedule against non-league opposition. In years past Warwick was either a divisional opponent or a crossover opponent, this time around the game had no bearing on league record whatsoever. This was a varsity-only game, the scheduled JV contest was postponed early in the afternoon. The girls program has struggled in recent years (3-19 in the '21-22 season), on this night they improved to 2-1 on the young season with a 60-39 win. As it stands they have three more home games in December that I may be able to see if the schedule holds up. The boys will have their turn on the home floor on Thursday night. Take care, thanks for reading.
