    The inexperienced Solanco JV girls basketball team lost three straight games after opening with a victory.
    McCaskey dealt the Mules a 38-20 setback last Wednesday.
    Jen Eberly led Solanco with six points. Paige Borcky added five points and played her best game of the year so far, coach Mike Glackin said.
    "Inexperience isn't something we can correct in one game," Glackin said.
    "We're young and we just have to keep coming to work every day, try to be better. The girls have great attitudes and are already showing improvement."
    Solanco fell 57-23 to Cedar Crest Monday, December 16.
    Cedar Crest outscored the Mules 24-4 in the first quarter.
    Nikki Boultinghouse led Solanco with 15 points.
    "We struggled to take care of the ball which led to easy baskets for them," Glackin said. "Jen Eberly is our best defender right now. She's doing a great job of understanding help position and reacting to the ball. Lots of room for improvement as a team. We just need to get stronger with the ball and be able to make decisions under pressure."
    The Mules split their first two games of the season the week before.
    Hempfield handed Solanco a 59-16 defeat December 13.
    Eberly had eight points and Taylor Stitz scored four.
    "We were down to seven players because of injuries and struggled with their ball pressure. Right now we have six freshmen and were just trying to make the adjustment to the speed of the game at this level."
    Solanco started the season with a 25-21 triumph over Garden Spot December 11.
    Boultinghouse had a team-high six points.
    "Megan Perry did a great job at point guard distributing the ball and running the offense," said Glackin. "It was good to get a win in the first game of the year with five freshmen starting."

    New players. New coach. Same expectations.
    The Solanco girls basketball team fully expects to contend for the Section Two title despite some major changes.
    "We don't have many players with a lot of varsity experience," first-year coach Janelle Garber said. "With a lot of young girls and a new coach we're still getting used to each other. It's taking some time to get adjusted but it's going well. The biggest thing is to keep working hard every day."
    Center Gillian Glackin, the last of the core players who led the Mules to the state tournament, graduated last spring.

    The Solanco wrestling team is looking to extend an impressive streak while Thomas Haines is trying to make history.
    While the Mules are vying for a fifth straight Section One title, Haines will be attempting to capture a fourth state title.

    Coach Bill Moore says the success of the Solanco boys basketball team will be determined by how unselfishly the squad plays.
    He has every reason to believe his veteran-laden team will play solid, team-first basketball.
    Senior point guard Damon Kreider will bear a good deal of the responsibility of spreading the ball around. "As long as he plays within the team he'll be okay," Moore said.
    Senior Zach Leonard is another returning starter.
Senior guard Evan Mankin returns after missing last season because of injury.
    Senior Colin Buffington is the team's most experienced post player.
Juniors Joe Pfender and Shane Belczyk have varsity experience and are being counted on to contribute.
    Juniors Kenny Walton, Ethan McCardell, Curtis Herr, and Matt Gote are competing for court time.
