Lebanon County H.S. Highlights: April 14


 

Game of the day

Boys Lacrosse

Palmyra 18, Chambersburg 1

Talk about a dominating win. An on-the-rise Palmyra boys lacrosse program certainly had one on Thursday, making the long trip to Chambersburg worthwhile by returning with a lopsided 18-1 victory.

Jared Richard led a balanced Cougar offense with four goals and Ethan Gain contributed three goals and six assists for Palmyra, which counted eight different goal scorers in the blowout win.

Eric Thomas and Kyle Nolen added three goals apiece for the Cougars, now 4-3 for the season.

Player of the day

Cheyenne Sprecher, Palmyra girls lacrosse

On the field hockey field, Cheyenne Sprecher's job is to prevent goals, not score them.

But when it comes to lacrosse, the Palmyra junior is free to indulge her offensive-minded side.

She certainly did so on Thursday, in Palmyra girls lacrosse's  14-10 win over Chambersburg.

Sprecher, standout goalie for the Cougar field hockey team and UConn recruit, racked up six goals as Palmyra topped its Mid-Penn Conference opponent at In The Net.

Donegal 5, Northern Lebanon 4

In Fredericksburg, the Vikings were outhit 11-7 and surrendered the eventual winning run in the top of the seventh of this Section Three contest.

Lancaster Catholic 13, Elco 1 (6 innings)

In Myerstown, the Raiders suffered their third straight loss after Catholic scored 11 runs in its final two at-bats, including seven in the decisive sixth inning.

En route to the mercy-rule defeat, Elco surrendered six doubles, two of which came off the bat of Dillon Marsh.

Penn Manor 7, Cedar Crest 0

Softball

Elco 9, Lancaster Catholic 4

On Assumption Hill, Aleesha Feister no-hit the Beavers in the mercy rule-shortened contest, which also included five errors by the home team.
