Ephrata 54, Garden Spot 25 \u2014 The Mountaineers continued their torrid stretch, opening the game on a 33-6 tear \u2014 including a 17-2 second-quarter blitz \u2014 on the way to their fourth win in a row. Jazzlin Sanders matched her career-high with 13 points and Leah Caldwell chipped in with 10 points to pace Ephrata\u2019s balanced attack.

SECTION 3<\/p>\n Northern Lebanon 44, Donegal 11 \u2014 The host Vikings were up 22-7 at the half, and then opened up plenty of breathing room with a 16-0 third-quarter spree. Kasey Weimer scored 13 points and Hayley Sheroky added 12 points for Northern Lebanon, which kept pace in what is shaping up to be a whale of a section race. Hannah Mumper scored 7 points for the Indians. FYI: Weimer (811) joined the 800-point club and Sheroky (711) joined the 700-point club, as those seniors angle to reach 1,000 career points.\u00a0<\/p>\n NONLEAGUE<\/p>\n Annville-Cleona 42, Lancaster County Christian 12 \u2014 The Dutchmen sprinted to a 10-0 first-quarter lead and built a 22-4 lead at the break, and then used an 11-2 third-quarter spurt to seal the deal and earn a road win. Addison Sanchez (season-high 12 points) and Savannah Kleinfelter (season-high 11 points) keyed A-C, which won its third game in a row after a 0-2 start.\u00a0<\/p>\n Cocalico 50, Exeter 47 \u2014 Eagles vs. Eagles, and host Cocalico outscored Exeter 29-26 in the second half to eke out its fifth victory in a row. Kira Lehman (18 points), Corinne Fair (four 3-pointers, 14 points) and Izzy Rios (season-high 11 points) paced Cocalico, which was deadlocked 21-21 at the half, and trailed 37-36 heading into the fourth quarter. FYI: Fair now leads the L-L with 21 treys; she has 14 3-pointers in her last three games.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
