Armold Scores 3 TD’s in Shutout Over CV

BY ERIC PYLES

In the world of high school football there are wins, then there are wins like Manheim Central’s 48-0 shellacking of Conestoga Valley on October 14th. The difference?? CV never had a chance with Manheim posting a 549-140 edge in yardage leading to a 25-4 edge in first downs and that shutout, their third of the season.

Brycen Armold was the star of the show, totaling 248 yards and three touchdowns. The bulk of the damage came on the ground where Armold tallied 227 yards and two scores, adding two catches for 21 yards and the final TD. Zach Hahn finished with 214 yards and that TD toss to Armold, but it was Aaron Enterline topping the receiving chart. He snagged six balls for 101 yards in the win.

CROSS COUNTRY

The cross-country teams took their first big postseason step on October 18th with a trip to Ephrata for the Lancaster-Lebanon League Championship. Reagan Ibach topped the Lady Baron runners with a time of 21:52.9, good enough for 53rd place, helping Manheim to a 17th place team finish. Jenna Moffett claimed 77th place witseconds:38.8 while Julie Lindberg (96th - 23:44.5) and Taylor Bruckhart (98th 23:54.3) finished two places and 10-second apart. Alexa Hoffman turned in a 24:28.4 taking 110th place.

The boys’ results were more spread out leading to a 20th place team finish. Cameron Evans led the way with a time of 18:51.0, slotting him 87th. Carter Bruckhart was the final Baron to crack the top 100, finishing 93rd with a time of 18:54.4. Carson Brooks snuck in under the 20-minute barrier, clocking a 19:44.7 to secure 126th place. Jarred Stoner was up next, taking 138th with his 20:06.0 while Logan Gebhard rounded out the scoring five with the 161st time of 20:54.3.

BOYS’ SOCCER

The boys’ soccer team closed out their 2022 season on October 12th, topping Twin Valley by a 3-1 final. Wesley Bates picked up the win thanks to his two save game. Gabe Redcay was the star, scoring twice and assisting on the third goal.

Aiden Beck played distributor on both of Redcay’s scores, the first of which knotted the game at 1-1 in the 27th minute. The second came in the 67th minute while Aaron Cassel used that Redcay pass for his goal in the 77th minute.

VOLLEYBALL

The Lady Baron volleyball team picked up a bit of needed momentum for their upcoming postseason run, closing out their regular season with wins over Solanco and Palmyra. Central took care of the Lady Cougars on the 17th, posting a 3-1 victory.

Manheim Central used the same 3-1 final to get by Solanco on the 13th where the Golden Mules rebounded after Central’s 25-5 opening game win for a 25-20 game two win. The Lady Barons took off from there and closed out the match with wins of 25-8 and 25-15.

Addy Doerschuk finished with 24 assists while Maddie Knier tallied 14 kills. Ila Stoltzfus topped the team with eight digs while Aslin Latkovich added five aces.

FIELD HOCKEY

The field hockey slipped in one final regular season tune-up before what they hope is a long postseason. That regular season tune-up took place in Lebanon where Central posted a 4-2 win. Scores in the opening and closing frames proved to be the difference with the teams playing to a 2-2 deadlock in the second. Kiley Hosler and Cali Inthavongsa put those second quarter goals on the board while Paige Garner took care of the first and fourth quarter scores. Lexi Nelson finished with three saves.

With the regular season in the books the Lady Barons turned their attention to the LancasterLebanon League Championship and their quarterfinal tilt opposite Cocalico. Manheim, as the Section Two winner, played host to the October 17th contest with the home team winning 4-0. Nelson needed just two saves to post the shutout.

This time it was two first quarter goals that propelled Central to the win. Libby Urban and Garner were responsible for the first quarter scores with Ella Brubaker collecting assists on both. Brubaker also set up Mikayla Appel’s second quarter score while Anna Bosch played that role in Appel’s fourth quarter tally.

Manheim’s shot at L-L glory came to a sudden halt one day later with a 1-0 semifinal loss to Section One cochamp Manheim Township. Eight Nelson saves were not enough to stave off the overtime loss with the Lady Barons now turning their focus to the district playoffs.
