Osborne signs to play hockey at Hartwick College

2/21/2017

 
by Bud Hart

    Allyson Osborne doesn't look like a field hockey goalie.
    The Solanco senior, who stands no more than 5’-3” and weighs 125 pounds tops, impressed Anna Myer, head coach at Hartwick College. So much so that Osborne may be the incoming freshman goalkeeper Meyer needs.
    As a result the Solanco senior received a substantial grant to both guard the goal and matriculate in a subject yet to be determined.  Osborne was contacted by Meyer following the 2016 season and after visiting the Oneonta, N.Y., college, signed up in an early admission program most colleges and universities offer.

by Bud Hart

    What a difference a month makes.  
    In January the Mules defeated the Spartans of Garden Spot by 20 points (70-50) at home. This month, on Tuesday, February 7, they ended their regular season in New Holland and the Spartans lassoed the hapless Mules with a 57-39 loss, including holding them to single digits in three of the four quarters.  
    “Let’s not forget Garden Spot is a very good team who is currently in the Top 10 of the District III power ratings,” said Solanco head coach Scott Long. “Garden Spot has excellent guard play and we had a lot of success last game playing our 3-2 zone.”

Dylan Hastings scored 1,000th point in Friday's home win over the Indians

by Bud Hart

    The Solanco boys saw their hopes for post season action slip away when the Ephrata Mountaineers handed them a 55-42 loss at Ephrata on Tuesday, January 31.
    Tied at the half at 24-all, the Mounts held the Mules to 18 points in the second half while pumping in 31. “We just were not able to get enough offensive production to win the game,” wrote head coach Scott Long. “Despite that fact Mike Worthington had a tremendous first half, scoring eight points and going five of six from the line.”  
    While the visiting Mules had seven players score, only one hit double digits.  Robbie McHugh led the team with 10 points followed by Dylan Hastings (9), Mike Worthington (8), Braden Redcay (6), Aaron Constein (4), Dan Siegrist (3) and Alec Munro (2).

Varsity boys basketball team loses to L-S and Elizabethtown 

2/1/2017

 
by Bud Hart

    It was not a good week for the Solanco boys’ basketball team as the Mules lost to both L-S and Elizabethtown.  
    On Tuesday, January 24, L-S held a 26-16 lead at the half and coasted to a 62-47 win.
    “We did not play with the energy needed to win a game against a good team,” said Coach Scott Long. “L-S did a nice job of being physical with us and making us uncomfortable.”  
    Long said his team had a great Monday practice and he and his staff were confident coming into the contest. L-S mixed in some zone defense and the Mules struggled to get decent looks, especially inside.     “A bright spot on the night was Aaron Constein,” the coach said. “Aaron had 19 points and played really aggressively.” Dylan Hastings also had a decent night, adding 15 points and pulling down nine rebounds. Others scoring for the Mules were Mike Worthington and Robbie McHugh who each contributed four points.
    Jack Boomsma added three and Braden Redcay two.  The Mules connected on 13 of 17 (76.5 percent) from the foul line
