With Gemma Phelan and Charlie Sweeney leading the way, the Fairfield girls soccer squad will be one of the teams to beat during this week’s District 3-1A postseason.
The Knights are putting up an area-best 4.2 goals per game, with Phelan (32 goals, 14 assists) and Sweeney (15, 10) ranking 1-2 among locals in both goals and assists. Phelan’s brother, Michael, wasn’t in action for the Fairfield boys last week, but he still leads the LocalNews1.org coverage area — and ranks No. 2 in the state of Pennsylvania — with 57 goals and will be looking to add to his total in the playoffs.
Greencastle-Antrim’s field hockey squad, which leads local squads in both team offense (2.81 goals per game) and defense (1.31), is also advancing to the postseason thanks to the efforts of Natalie Medina (21 goals) and Sydnee Bosko (11 assists), who both lead the area in their respective categories.
While the Blue Devils narrowly missed the girls volleyball playoffs, Kira Johnson ends her campaign as our clubhouse leader in both aces (32) and assists (401). South Hagerstown’s Tenley Yost (45 blocks) and North Hagerstown’s Aleah Merrbaugh (247 digs) have surged to the top of our charts, with more matches left to play.
Finally, on the football field, the LN1 rushing title appears to be a two-man race between the Hubs’ Michael Stewart and Smithsburg’s Nicolas Roncone. Stewart leads Roncone in yards, 778 to 703, while Roncone holds a 12-10 lead over Stewart in rushing TDs. Chambersburg’s Cam Green continues to lead locals in both passing yards (1,171) and TDs (13).
