“Looking back, I’m happy I got into the game and made an impact,” Linville Hill Christian's Emerson Westfall said.

“Looking back, I’m happy I got into the game and made an impact,” Linville Hill Christian's Emerson Westfall said.

It was the most exciting and dramatic two seconds of Emerson Westfall’s basketball life. From the bench to the spotlight in the blink of an eye.

“We’ve gotten so much experience,” Octorara's Vincent Thaler said. “Now we’re the oldest. This is our last chance to really make something happen.”

All five of Octorara’s boys basketball players said it. It wasn’t really a prediction. More like a goal put into a handful of confident words.

"We've proven that we're very good at fighting through adversity," Solanco's Kris Burgos Wise said. "Even though on paper we're winning a lot of games, we know how to overcome that. If (McDevitt) has a big play (Friday), we know we're gonna come right back and smack them in the mouth."

Solanco football coach Tony Cox recalls shouting the name. Players were dropping like flies due to cramping in the 2022 season opener against Lampeter-Strasburg.

“We are still learning how to be leaders and how to lead a team,” Cedar Crest's Owen Outman said. “We all hang out outside of basketball and grow closer as teammates.”

Cameron Tirado and Owen Outman are now the seniormost Falcons in the nest.

“It’s always great to be part of a winning team,” Warwick's Tyler Musser said. “You see all those guys growing up. You want to be like them.”

Tyler Musser said he found out about 48 hours before kickoff. For one game at least, he was a quarterback again.

“Because we’re so close in age, it’s genuinely like having a built-in best friend,” Ephrata's Leah Caldwell said of her sister, Alyssa. “They’re always there for you. They’re the person that you go to when something is bugging you or is on your mind.”

Leah and Alyssa Caldwell share a bedroom. Their personal space is each other’s. Before they were winning section titles together on the basketball court, the two were sisters.

“I think that people are overlooking us,” Dayspring Christian's Gabe Mellinger said. “We’re gonna slide underneath everything and pop up at the end. We’ll have an underdog mentality this year.”

Something unexpected happened when Dayspring Christian answered questions about its team. The focus wasn’t on the player who averages a double-double. Or the one who scores 20 points per game.

“We can’t lose that burning,” Solanco safety Gabe Forren said. “Making history, that’s everything. I never thought we’d ...

“We can’t lose that burning,” Solanco safety Gabe Forren said. “Making history, that’s everything. I never thought we’d be here. But the only thing that’s gonna keep us going is believing, and we have a strong foundation in that.”

Solanco’s Gabe Forren was used to dishing out punishments. But even the Golden Mules veteran was susceptible to taking one on the chin.

“It’s a dream come true, I would say,” DeMere Salisbery said of being at McCaskey and playing for his father, Dustin. “I feel like I’m supposed to be here.”

They wore the same warmup with the same logo. For one, it was a homecoming. For the other, it was new, yet familiar.

“It’s not the outcome we wanted,” Manheim Township coach Mark Evans said, “but we still love our kids. Unconditionally. You just can’t make mistakes in big-time football games against good teams like that.”

HARRISBURG — If you just look at the numbers, you’d swear Manheim Township was very much in the game.

“I don’t know if any of us really expected us to be here again,” Warwick goalie Lizzy Matthews said of a return to the state final. “We’re a good team. We’re strong, and we play together. We knew we could do it, but it wasn’t an expected or assumed thing. To be back here, it just showed what we’re made of.”

MECHANICSBURG — Warwick’s Lizzy Matthews sees an entire story unfold from the small window of her field hockey goalie mask.

“We turned this program around,” Warwick senior Karys Craver said. “We went from having a .500 record or less to back-to-back state finals, and that’s a lot to be proud of.”

MECHANICSBURG — As Karys Craver’s tear-filled eyes scanned the Cumberland Valley stands, everything began to settle in. Every goal, assist and moment from her high school field hockey career was
