Penn Manor's field hockey season ended on a controversial note in the state semifinals. LNP's Christian Eby weighs in on the emotional outcome.

Let me start by saying this is not an outlash at officials. I don’t condone criticizing, screaming or yelling at officials. They have a thankless job and at the end

“I’m so excited,” Warwick freshman Addie Martin said. “I was there last year to watch them win it, and I’m ready for that feeling.”

ELVERSON — Addie Martin took in Warwick’s field hockey state title run last season as a spectator, cheering on some of the same girls she now shares the field with.

“This is the furthest we’ve ever made it in my four years,” Penn Manor's Morgan Hook said, “so there’s a lot to be proud of because we had a lot of success this season. I think we grew a lot from the beginning of the season to now.”

DOWNINGTOWN — The seconds would wind down on the scoreboard. An official’s whistle, signaling the coaches' and captains' meeting, would echo. The Penn Manor field hockey team would remain in

“We kept pushing and we kept fighting,” said Linville Hill’s Carrie Fisher. “I’m proud of us for doing that."

“We kept pushing and we kept fighting,” said Linville Hill’s Carrie Fisher. “I’m proud of us for doing that."

The last match is always the toughest.

“The whole journey has been kind of surreal,” said Marie Kurtz, Nick's mother. “You reflect on it and you can’t believe we just experienced all of this.”

The batting cage was bought from another Manheim Township family and was placed in the side yard. A chance to take swings was suddenly a few steps away.

“It just wasn’t our day,” Warwick coach Matt Wagner said. “That’s soccer. We love it and we hate it at the same time. I love that they keep fighting. I can’t ask for anything else.”

CHAMBERSBURG — As much as Warwick’s boys wanted to believe this was their time, soccer doesn’t always cooperate. It’s too fickle. Too unforgiving.

“With the guys that graduated, I don’t think a lot of people were expecting a lot,” Lancaster Mennonite coach Fred Winey said. “This group of guys came in to try to prove themselves. I’m so incredibly proud of what they’ve been able to accomplish and achieve this year.

ALTOONA — In the parlance of the sweet science, to dethrone the champ you have to knock him out.

“It’s unfortunate sometimes when it doesn’t quite go your way,” Lancaster Catholic coach Emily Fix said. “That’s probably the most physical team we’ve faced this season, they were right there every time we were trying to get that last pass.”

ALTOONA — As the Lancaster Catholic girls soccer team gathered for the postgame huddle, faces were long. There were cheeks, a few, dampened by tears. There were also jaws stiffened

“I think it’s a good learning lesson moving on,” Hempfield's Dariana Patterson said. “I know I’m done with my senior year, but there are plenty of years for some of these girls to be playing volleyball, and I hope they learn from this game so they don’t feel this way again.”

REIFFTON — Dariana Patterson bit her lower lip to hold back the tears as she talked about the future for the Hempfield girls volleyball team.

“We really don’t like the feeling of losing, and we just try to work hard for the 60 minutes we have in front of us,” Pe...

“We really don’t like the feeling of losing, and we just try to work hard for the 60 minutes we have in front of us,” Penn Manor's Morgan Hook said. “We leave no regrets on the field.”

REIFFTON — Penn Manor’s Chloe Hook wouldn’t call it a full-blown celebration. Perhaps a shrug of the shoulders with a bit of surprise sprinkled in. But once teammates engulfed her,

“I was trying soak in those final minutes,” said Garden Spot senior McKenna Murray, “and being with these girls one last time. We may never have a team like this again.”

POTTSVILLE — McKenna Murray made sure to take it all in.

“It’s so fun getting to do this again in my senior season,” Linville outside hitter Carrie Fisher said of reaching the state semis. “It’s interesting because we lost four good players from last year, so we didn’t have super high expectations. And now, obviously, we’re doing amazing. We’re undefeated. It’s just been a blast.”

SHAMOKIN — A two-hour bus trip was more like business as usual for the Linville Hill girls volleyball team.
