Spot Tops Warwick After Loss To Kennard-Dale
BY ARA GRIGORIAN
The Spartans regained momentum in the fourth quarter of their home game with Kennard-Dale in boys’ basketball action. But the only epiphany for the Spartans in the January 6 non-league game was that opportunities need to be taken advantage of in the crunch.
Kennard-Dale held on for a 57-46 win. They inched ahead in the third quarter, increasing a slim four-point halftime lead to 43-32.
Jace Conrad led the Spartans (3-8) in scoring. He put up 11 points including a pair of threepoint baskets. Zachary Uplinger, who also dropped a pair of treys, and Bruce Weaver, who was a perfect 4-for-4 in free throws, both finished with eight points. Michael Heisley scored seven for the Spartans.
Garden Spot bounced back with a victory over LancasterLebanon League foe Warwick on Tuesday. They poured in 27 points in the fourth quarter, pulling off a 58-56 win at New Holland.
The offensive output late in the game only balanced things out, rewarding the Spartans’ great defensive play.
“Defense was the key,” Musselman said. “But we did make 13 three-pointers, which I think is a league high this year.
Uplinger was on target six times from three-point range, finishing with a game-leading 20 points. Jeff St. Jean scored 11 points with nine coming off his three treys. Weaver scored eight. Heisley (6 pts) also nailed a pair of treys.
Trevor Evans scored 18 to lead the Warriors, who fell to 8-4 (3-1 league).
“We had a couple of seniors really rise up to the challenge,” Musselman said, referring to Uplinger, Heisley and Dylan Nolt.
The close margin of victory was a reversal of the Garden Spot boys’ fortune.
GIRLS’ BASKETBALL
Garden Spot came up short at Warwick in a girls’ L-L League game on Tuesday, January 10. The Warriors outscored the Spartans 23-14 in the first half and held on for a 45-25 victory.
Natalie Wenger scored 18 for the Warriors while Bella Smithson added 12.
Morgan Pavelik led Garden Spot with seven points. Meredith Horst and Gwen Varley each tallied six points.
The Spartans, who fell to 113 (0-4 league) were coming off a non-league contest at Manheim Township on Saturday, January 7. The Blue Streaks took command in the second quarter of the game and won 77-37.

Pavelik had the hot hand for Garden Spot, pouring in 17 points. Varley nailed three treys and compiled 11 points while Nikki Zeiset came away with six points.

The Spartans won back-toback matches, defeating Governor Mifflin and Ephrata in L-L League air rifle competition. They scored 493 points in both victories.
In the January 10 match at Ephrata, Magdalene Martin hit a perfect 100 with Matt Sauder providing plenty of support at 99 points. Evan Brace, Jack Werner, and Leksi Bender each shot 98’s.
The Mountaineers’ Bill Brudereck and Catherine Wolf also finished with 98’s.
In the Mifflin match on Thursday, January 5 at New Holland, Bender was the Spartan marksman hitting the century mark while Sauder and Martin both finished with 99. Werner’s 98 points and 97 from sophomore Trevor Jones helped the Spartans edge the Mustangs 493-492
