Kyle Brown, McCaskey Junior and small forward, eagerly is looking forward to McCaskey’s first game versus Penn Wood.  He says his team has been working hard in the off-season and plans to get to the playoffs.

McCaskey’s faces some key games — especially Reading, a physically tough team; Cedar Crest, loaded with height; and rival Manheim Township, with good shooters.

Kyle Knutsen, a 5-foot-10 senior guard, is optimistic about this season for the Comets. Coming off a 6-4 Section One record, 13-11 overall, Penn Manor returns a veteran core with some youngsters coming up.

“We want to win the Section, win the league and win at least one game in districts and get to states,” said Knutsen, who averaged 5.2 points per game last season with a game-high of 14 points in a win over Lebanon.  

Madelyn Sieklicki competes as a senior for the Hempfield girls basketball team.  This year she is working hard to be a starter at point guard or shooting guard.

The Black Knights are building a family cohesiveness among the team and plan to improve on last year’s record.  Key teams on their schedule are Cedar Crest, Manheim Township and Penn Manor.  Madelyn looks to Cedar Crest as the favorite to win Section 1.

Cocalico girls basketball team is working to build on last year's 12-10 record.  The Eagles lost some key scorers from last season, but have veterans returning. 

Senior Corinne Fair (top photo) is back. She is one of the league's leading three-point scorers. She hit for 51 last season, averaging 9 points a game, earning second team Section 2 all-star honors.. "I've been working on my 3-point shooting in the off-season, going out and shooting with my dad." Fair's long distance shooting is expected to open some space up underneath the basket.

Scoring may get the headlines, but Manheim Township girls basketball team believes defense will be the key to its success.

Returning junior Julia Weaver (right in photo) says, "The goal is to hold teams to 28 points or under." Weaver says, "We take pride in our defense. We have a lot of strong athletes that are willing to put in the hard work to keep opponents from scoring."
