Basketballl camps in high gear

Madilyn Collins shoots, while Makaela Frey waits her turn.

The Panther Girls Basketball Camp is over for this year, but a crowd of 119 girls from third to eighth grades bounced from coach to coach learning intricacies of  the game. Two girls, Makaela Frey, 9,  and Madilyn Collins, 9, helped each other through the stations at Central High School.


Makaela  is attending York Catholic's basketball camp this week. And at Central High School this week, 70 boys are learning the same lessons.

Central High School  players are assistant instructors and include Bailey Botterbusch, Alexis Ballanda, Sam Sweeney, Maddy Strine, other high school players and adult coaches.

All three teams win

 All three of the baseball/softball teams in district three competition won Thursday in Millersville.

All three were nail-biters, if you'll excuse the cliche', but the Central game was terrific.

The game was scoreless through the regular seven innings, and the game stretched on. In the bottom of the ninth, with a runner on first base, a Central batter missed the bunt sign.  Moments later, she connected on the longest fly ball of the game--over the left fielder's head--and the runner, a freshman, scored.  Game over. Oh, and by the way, the pitcher threw a no-hitter.

The West York boys scored five runs in the first inning, and then hung on to beat Lancaster Catholic. The Dallastown girls pulled out another close one with a 3-2 win over Wilson. For more photos, click here to see more photos on the York Dispatch gallery pages.
