This was my second stab at video, and I thought it turned out nicely.
Congrats again to Lancaster Mennonite, which topped Fleetwood in the PIAA Double-A girls’ soccer championship.
Here’s what I was […]

Mennonite 3, Fleetwood 2 in PIAA Double-A girls’ spring soccer championship game
HERSHEY – Talk about getting the storybook ending.
The last shot Kelsey Gorman attempted as a member of Lancaster Mennonite’s girls’ soccer team ended up in the back of the net.
But it wasn’t just any other goal.
It was the game-winning goal off a […]

Back in good old Hersheypark Stadium on Tuesday night for PIAA girls’ soccer. It’s always fun going to the stadium. In fact, I asked a colleague last night about how many times a year us media types make the trip to Hersheypark — for football […]

If everything goes as planned (wireless internet connection, etc.) I’m going to do a live blog from Hersheypark Stadium on Tuesday, where Lancaster Mennonite will be taking on Wyomissing in a PIAA Double-A girls’ soccer semifinal.
I usually get a pretty good wireless connection from Hersheypark, so I’m hoping I won’t hit any snags.

Just a quick post for you … but I found this one mighty interesting.
It’s amazing how many websites are out there.
And unless a regular reader wouldn’t have sent along a note (thanks, M), I would have never, ever heard of soccerbuzz.com.
But according to soccerbuzz.com, a pair of Lancaster-Lebanon League girls’ soccer players – […]
