F-F Highlights: Chambersburg boys smother Mifflin County


The defense was on full display for the Chambersburg boys basketball team Friday night.

The Trojans did not allow Mifflin County to score more than six points in any quarter and handed the Huskies a 66-22 defeat in a Mid Penn Commonwealth Division game.

Chambersburg (8-5, 2-5 MPC) led 13-5 after one quarter and 34-11 by halftime.

“We heard that it was their lowest total since they joined the Mid Penn six years ago,” Trojan coach Shawn Shreffler said. “Our defense was pretty solid. I liked our attitude - we respected our opponent, but we didn’t take them for granted and we attacked them.”

Shreffler was particularly pleased with the play of guard Jacob Brouse, who scored 14 points to tie his career high.

“Jacob guarded their best player (Ryan Walker), who was averaging something like 17 or 18 points, and he did not score tonight. He set the tone early, and we picked up the intensity on defense. Jacob’s getting a little more comfortable and aggressive.”

Also for Chambersburg, Cole Christian had 10 points and Tyler Collier had a career-high nine.

Big turnaround

In the first game of the season for Shalom Christian, Broadfording administered a 79-45 spanking to the Flames.

Friday night, in the teams’ second meeting, Shalom came away with a 35-32 victory.

The Flames (10-3, 5-2 MDCC) led 29-20 after three quarters, then hung on for the win. Jonah Stains (13 points) and Cameron Roseman (10) led the way.
