BOYER EARNS SCHOLARSHIP TO CHESTNUT HILL – Triple-A Associated Press Third-Team All-State pick and L-L League All-League performer Lisa Boyer has earned a full scholarship to continue her scholastic and basketball careers at Division II Chestnut Hill College, which is located in the Fairmount Park section of Philadelphia.
The scholarship covers athletic and scholastic endeavors for the former Lampeter-Strasburg standout point guard, who finished her prep career with 1,448 points.
The Griffins compete in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference, along with Bloomfield, Caldwell, Concordia, Dominican, Felician, Georgian Court, Goldey-Beacom, Holy Family, Nyack, Philadelphia, Post, University of the Sciences and Wilmington.
Chestnut Hill went 4-14 in the CACC and 6-21 overall this past season under first-year coach Kiesha King.
Boyer, who had a scholarship offer from Bloomsburg University prior to her senior season, averaged 15.5 points a game this past season for L-S, which went 29-4 overall and advanced to the District 3 title game and all the way to the PIAA championship game before falling to Archbishop Carroll.
TIDE READY TO NAME SUTTON – According to a source, Columbia will recommend former Crimson Tide boys’ varsity coach Gary Sutton as the new girls’ varsity coach at Thursday’s monthly school board meeting.
If he gets the board’s approval, Sutton would replace former Tide standout Lisa Tomsheck, who stepped down after three seasons on the bench after Columbia finished up 2-21 this past season.
Sutton, who guided Columbia’s boys’ team to the PIAA Double-A state title in 1987, is an on-air personality for WSBA 910-AM, where he co-hosts the morning show. He’s also remained involved in prep basketball since his gig with Columbia. He has served as an assistant coach in York County, and he’s the color analyst for PCN-TV during state-championship coverage.
Columbia has the final basketball coaching vacancy in the L-L League.
