Almost there

The Greencastle-Antrim boys and girls basketball teams have been keeping pace all season and they are both poised to finish things off.

The Blue Devils swept Big Spring on Friday night - 73-47 in the boys game and 55-28 in the girls game - and both clinched at least a tie for the Mid Penn Colonial Division championship.

In both cases, G-A is 10-0 with two MPC games left and Waynesboro is in second place with two losses.

The boys (13-5) got career-high scoring performances from Ben Freeman (21 points) and Ian Gelsinger (18), and Brandon Stuhler scored 10 points.

Jenay Faulkner (19), Morgan Wagaman (18) and Lydia Crist (12) led a balanced scoring attack for the girls (15-3).

Sitting on top

After one day of the Ultimate Warrior Tournament at West Branch, Shippensburg is in first place with 99 points, followed closely by Altoona (98.5) and Wilson (96).

The Greyhounds pushed five wrestlers into Saturday morning’s semifinals.

All three top seeds had all pins. Chandler Olson (126, Cole Forrester (195) and Cameron Tinner (285) each had two pins. Levi Shoemaker (160) and Collin Dolbin (220) each had one pin and a decision.

Four other Ship wrestlers are still alive in the consolations, including Jeffrey Russell (106) and Sterling Shetter (170), who each had three pins for the day.
