October 28th, 2009 · No Comments

We’re officially in the home stretch of the regular season. Eight weeks down, two to go. I can’t tell if I’m catching playoff fever, or if it’s just the early stages of the swine flu, but either way I’m ready to go.
Here are the power points standings heading into Week 9. Thanks to the good […]

L-L League’s midseason report cards

October 8th, 2009 · No Comments

Hard as it may be to believe, we’re already halfway through the regular season. Football always seems to fly by, and this year is no exception. Heck, we’re already starting to obsess over the District 3 playoff power points standings, and we still have five games to go.
But before we get into the regular season’s […]

Well, I’m no Nostradomis…but here are your Week 5 picks

October 1st, 2009 · No Comments

Hard to believe we’re coming up on the halfway point of the regular season already. Football season always seems to fly by, even when the playoffs extend into late November or early December.
Seems like there’s a good chance of that happening again around here. We’ve already hit the point where the wheat begins to separate […]

Week 3’s fearless forecast

September 17th, 2009 · No Comments

After a slow start in the opening week, I bounced my way back to respectability with my performance in Week 2: a 15-4 record, moving me up to 25-11 this season. I think my strategy of actually thinking  about the picks beforehand may have helped me a bit, so we’ll do the same for Week 3.
Lots […]

My prediction? PAIN!

September 10th, 2009 · No Comments

Thanks to Clubber Lang for one of my favorite lines from the “Rocky” series.
My predictions were truly painful last week. So bad, in fact, that yours truly is currently looking up at all his sportswriting brethren in the race for the title of “Top Prognosticator.” I went 10-7, while my online colleague Jeff Reinhart is […]

Monday morning quarterbacking (on a Tuesday)

September 8th, 2009 · No Comments

Yeah, yeah. Monday morning quarterbacks are supposed to spout off on Mondays. Give me a break. I was enjoying my Labor Day weekend. But here are a few tidbits from Friday night’s Week One action: 
So after weeks of “voluntary” preparation, two-a-days, scrimmages and film analysis, the L-L League’s 24 teams finally got to strap on the […]

L-L League realignment notes

May 21st, 2009 · No Comments

By Kevin Freeman 
I wanted to expand a bit on the item that appeared in both the Intelligencer Journal and New Era concerning the meeting of Lancaster-Lebanon League officials Wednesday afternoon.
When voting to accept the league’s realignment for the 2010-11 season, two proposals were put to a vote, one that passed and one that did not.
First, the proposal that passed. Ephrata athletic […]
