WAYNESBORO – In a league dominated by the likes of Northern York and Greencastle-Antrim, the rest of the Mid-Penn Colonial Division has been characterized by an “any given night” scenario in which teams haven’t created any separation between each other and can be beaten by any other team. On Tuesday night at Waynesboro Area Senior High School, the Waynesboro Maidens faced off against such a team in the Shippensburg Lady Greyhounds. Head coach Heidi Shaull’s team, coming off a season sweep of Gettysburg (37-34 in Gettysburg), lost 40-35 to the Lady Hounds in Shippensburg earlier this month in a game…

WAYNESBORO–The Waynesboro Area Senior High School varsity boys’ basketball team knew going into Tuesday night’s Mid-Penn Colonial Division showdown against Norther York that the Polar Bears – with the exception of the Indians’ lone loss against Cumberland Valley – represented their most challenging opponent. Waynesboro wasn’t disappointed. In a game that saw Northern York hold Waynesboro to 16 points in the second half and outscoring the Tribe 16-8 in the fourth quarter, head coach Tom Hoffman’s team somehow held off a furious rally in the waning seconds during which Waynesboro missed crucial free throws and the Polar Bears drew closer…
