Boys’ Hoop Team Playing Tough but Falling Short

by Eric Pyles

As most know, in the world of sports, close just doesn’t quite cut it when it comes to determining a winner or loser. That means that despite coming close, the Middletown boys’ basketball team is still searching for their second win of the 2018-2019 season. The Blue Raiders came painfully close on January 18th when they fell to East Pennsboro in overtime with another near miss coming a few days prior in a clash with Steel-High.

The Rollers ended up winning by 11, 69-58, on January 15th but only after Middletown forced their neighbors to work for four quarters. While the game ended up being a close affair until the end, it started much differently with Steel-High posting a 22-12 edge in the opening frame.

Middletown did not back down, outscoring the Rollers 27-18 in the second to cut the halftime deficit to just one point at 40-39. Tyler Petroski led the second quarter surge, scoring 16 of his game high 30 in the frame.

Middletown was unable to maintain their scorching second quarter pace into the third, leading to a 12-5 Steel-High advantage and an eight-point Roller lead. The Blue Raiders regained some of their offensive firepower behind sophomore Jules Nester who scored 10 of Middletown’s 14 fourth

quarter points to finish with 17 for the game.

Middletown’s offense effort kept the game close but it was not enough to overcome the Rollers who claimed the 69-58 win behind Mekhi Flowers and Jones who combined for 37 points.

Three nights later the Blue Raiders traveled to Enola to face the Panthers of East Pennsboro. Once again, a slow start appeared to doom the visitors but Middletown was able to fight back over the course of the second half to force overtime. The Panthers managed to post a 13-9 edge in the decisive extra session to claim the win, 66-62, but the Blue Raiders can take some solace in the near miss.

Middletown’s slow start allowed East Pennsboro to build a 21-13 lead through the first quarter with an 11-5 edge in the second making it a 14-point game at intermission. Middletown erased the bulk of that deficit with a 25-15 tear through the third that was fueled by 10 Petroski points.

Petroski cooled from there, scoring just two points the rest of the way to finish with 19 for the game. With Middletown’s normal go-to offensive threat held in check, the Blue Raiders turned to one of their freshmen to continue the heavy comeback lifting.

Tajae Broadie was up to the task, scoring seven of his game high 22-points in the final quarter to force overtime where he added another

five points to his resume. It ended up leaving Middletown just short of the victory but gave the Blue Raiders faithful a glimpse of the future. Tony Powell added 11 points to give Middletown three in double digits for the game.

WRESTLING As the days in January continue to zip by, the wrestling team is trying not to look to far ahead and are “taking it one match at a time” according to head coach Dan Riggs. But with the January 26th deadline for dual matches to count towards their District 3-2A power rankings, the Blue Raiders have little choice but to look ahead.

“It would definitely be nice to make it to the postseason especially for the seniors, who have been through all of the up’s and down’s the past several years,” said Riggs. “It would also be nice for the program since the wrestling team hasn’t made it to the postseason in a while.”

Behind two solid wins over Bishop McDevitt and Palmyra in the last week, the Blue Raiders carry a 9-5 overall record and sit in ninth place in the most recent unofficial 2A rankings, just inside the 12-team field. With just one dual match remaining before the deadline and a few teams within striking distance, Middletown cannot afford to relax which made the McDevitt and Palmyra wins so important.

“I was very pleased with our wins against Bishop McDevitt and Palmyra,” said Riggs. “I thought our guys were ready to compete and it showed, especially against Palmyra.”

Middletown dominated both matches, winning 20 of the 28 bouts including six straight to kick off the 50-21 victory over Palmyra on January 17th. Zach Malay and Joseph Spear enjoyed the easiest of those wins with

Malay starting the match with a forfeit win at 113. Spear picked up his forfeit at 138 while Jeremy Wells nabbed the final easy win of the match at 220.

Luke Fegley and Nathan Brady followed Malay’s forfeit with back-toback decisions at 120 and 126 that gave Middletown a 12-0 lead after three weight classes.

Ryan Berstler and Diante Gray posted Middletown’s first two pinfall wins which were sandwiched around Spear’s forfeit, helping to push the

Blue Raider lead to 30-0. Chris Joseph made it 35-3 with a 17-2 tech fall win over Scout Bucks at 160 before two straight Cougar wins made it 35-15 with four weight classes remaining.

One of those four was the Wells’ forfeit win at 220 which came in between Matthew Mitchell’s decision at 195 and Quincy Reinnagel’s pinfall win at 285 with the result being the 50-21 final.

Against McDevitt the Blue Raiders were not able to jump out to quite the same dominating start but Middle-

town still managed to win four of the first five matches on their way to a 57-21 victory. That fast start included all four of Middletown’s pinfall wins for the match, giving the Blue Raiders a comfy 24-3 lead. Fegley and Spear ended their respective matches within two seconds of each other. Fegley pinned Alex Tyson at the 2:42 mark of their 113-pound bout while Spear ended his 138-pound match with Jackson Shields two seconds quicker.

Malay finished his 120-pound match with Nathan Davis at the 2:31

COMMUNITYCOURIER - Middletown Edition forfeits over the final seven weight classes.

Vinny Corradi (160), Ayden Miller (170), Mitchell (195), Ivan Henderson (220) and Krea Scheaffer (106) enjoyed easy forfeit wins.

The Blue Raiders closed out the week by participating in the New Oxford Invitational on Friday and

Saturday. Middletown saw seven grapplers work their way to the podium in the “A” bracket with another two making it to the “B” bracket podium. The result was a ninth-place finish in the team standings.

Fegley brought home Middletown’s top finish when he pinned Red Land’s Wyatt Fox in the second period

of their 113-pound battle to claim the gold. Berstler added gold at 126-pounds but his work came in the “B” bracket with a 3-2 decision over York Suburban’s Noah Rice.

The Blue Raiders also enjoyed two silver medal wins with Spear falling to New Oxford’s Jared Bair in the 138 pound “A” bracket final

16th in the unofficial District 3-4A rankings, six spots out of the final playoff slot.

Before Middletown could get to the good of the week, they first had to absorb the bad which came in the form of a 64-43 loss to Steel-High on Tuesday. The Lady Rollers, behind a game high 33 points from Serenity Vidot, controlled all four quarters to leave Middletown with a 21-point win.

“We played them tough but I thought they got a lot better from the beginning of the year,” said Pelletier of the loss.

Katie Fitzpatrick collected a team high 22 points, adding five steals, four rebounds and two assists. Joci Koser was the only other Lady Raider in double figures with 12 points which paired nicely with her eight rebounds. Jae Keller’s four points, Hayli Akakpo-Martin’s three points and Ayanna Reeves’ two points finished the Middletown offense for the game.

The Lady Raiders closed out the week on Friday with a 57-40 victory over visiting East Pennsboro.

Fitzpatrick fueled the win with a game high 27 points that included a 10-point third quarter burst that helped Middletown put the game away.

The Lady Raiders built a slim four-point lead, 25-21, through the opening half but a 19-6 Fitzpatrick fueled third quarter run allowed Middletown to stretch that lead to the 17-point final. Keller added 12 points in the win while Koser (seven points), Reeves (seven points), Jade Senior (three points) and Caroline Gill (one point) accounted for the rest of the offense.

while Reinnagel dropped his 220 pound “B” bracket final to Frank Veloce of West York.

Middletown added two fourth place finishes with both coming in the “A” bracket. Brady collected the first, falling to Scranton’s Bobby Zelinski in the 120-pound consolation finals by a 5-4 count. Joseph’s fourth place came at 152 pounds with a pinfall loss to Waynesboro’s Adam Wertz in the consolation finals.

Both of Middletown’s seventh place finishes came via forfeit in the “A” bracket with Corradi earning the easy win at 160 and Mitchell at 195.

Britcher was the final Blue Raider to climb the “A” bracket podium, finishing eighth at 145 thanks to a 7-2 consolation finals loss to Harry S Truman’s Aaron Arena.

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL One step forward and one step back would be a great way to describe the week just turned in by the Middletown girls’ basketball team. The Lady Raiders managed to zoom by East Pennsboro on Friday but not before a setback opposite Steel-High earlier in the week. The 1-1 run leaves the Blue Raiders 6-8 overall and 3-5 in Mid-Penn Capital Division with seven games remaining in the regular season.

“We are a little under .500. I was hoping to be at least .500 at this point but we are two games under.

I’m not terribly disappointed because this is about where I expected us,” said first year head coach Robert Pelletier. “Some of those losses could have easily have been wins, so we could easily be 8-6 as Photo by Cheri Sine well as 6-8.”

Joseph picked up Middletown’s only decision that also served as their final win on the mat.

Show To Feature Songs Of Inspiration

Farm Show from pg 1 hours, but finishing first is not the only deciding factor in the competition. Youth teams are judged on the condition of their fleece, their spinning technique, their weaving quality, and the overall appearance of their shawl design.

The Twisted Five used Shetland sheep fiber from a Leicester longwool sheep. The fiber used in the warp is PA Preferred, Pennsylvania-sourced, and hand-spun. In addition, the team plyed and hand-dyed the warp to represent the shawl’s theme, “Steel Welding.”

The warp was dyed with variegated gray and white. The detailed pattern used in the shawl was designed by Madison Shaw, who also received the Best Weaver Award for her exceptional weaving and design skills. It is Shaw’s 10th year participating in the competition.

Team members of the Twisted Five are weaver Madison Shaw of Harrisburg; spinners Brooke Coble, Tabitha May, and Isaac Bell; and carder Jacob Bell. Their shawl was sold at the shawl auction held later in the day.

The second-place team was Fiber Frenzy from Dauphin County, with a “Holland” theme, and the third-place team was the Fibering Five from Dauphin County, with an “Ocean” theme. The competition included close calls, such as the Fibering Five finishing with only 15 seconds to spare. Fibering Five also won the Premium Spinning Award.

Roaring Rubies from Clinton County won fourth place. The team had a “Roaring ’20s” theme.

Snow White and the Seven Sheep from Clinton County won fifth place, the Best Fleece Award, and the Team Choice Award. The team had a “Snow White and Seven Dwarfs” theme.

Judges for the competition were Terry Kunst of Twin Ponds Fiber Farm of Lykens, Cynthia Baker of the Chester County Craft Guild, Rebecca Clark of Everett, and former Fleece-to-Shawl competitor Joan Carpenter.

Servant Stage will kick off the new year with concert titled “A Million Dreams: Songs of Inspiration.” The original revue will showcase vocals, tight harmonies, and original arrangements of a wide variety of uplifting songs, ranging from Broadway and pop tunes to sacred songs and spirituals.

“It’s a diverse program, but each song has an encouraging or inspirational theme,” said Servant Stage executive director Johnathan Bauer. “This is a great show to beat the winter blues. The arrangements, vocals, and harmonies are just exquisite, and the costumes are gorgeous.”

The cast includes Lancaster performers Ric Zimmerman, Sarah Poague, and Kat Prickett as featured vocalists, with Kayla Klase as female vocalist - swing. Zimmerman directed the vocals, with original arrangements and musical direction from Andy Roberts. Roberts and Scott Williams take turns as accompanist for the show, which is directed by Servant Stage’s artistic director, Wally Calderon.

“Audiences will love the amazing vocal blend of the trio, as well as the individuality of each singer,” said Prickett. “Finding voices that blend so tightly is not an easy task. The best part is that the three of us are actually friends; we all care very much about each other, and I think this will translate to the audience clearly and add another layer to the show.”

The show will tour to venues across Lancaster County with 30 performances

through March, including a performance at Rissers Mennonite Church, 8360 Elizabethtown Road, Elizabethtown, at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 27. A freewill offering will be received, and all are welcome. For more information on the performance at Rissers, readers may call 717-653-4549.

Epsilon Sigma Omega, the regional chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. (AKA), is celebrating its 67th anniversary this year.

The chapter was chartered on May 2, 1952, in Harrisburg. According to Epsilon Sigma Omega, it is the first sorority established in the region by college-educated women of African descent. Through the years, the chapter has aided the community through ongoing service projects and initiatives designed to improve the quality of life in the region.

AKA was established in 1908 on the campus of Howard University. Today the organization has more than 300,000 members in 1,018 chapters operating in 47 U.S. States and one U.S. territory as well as in 10 regions located in nine countries. The sorority aims to continue to grow its service to all of mankind.

One of the local charter members and past presidents of the local chapter, Pearl Nichols, still resides in the area. Another past president of the chapter is 96-year-old Hettie Love, who remains an active leader and counselor. She joined the sorority in 1941 on the campus of Fisk University in Florida and is believed to be the first African-American woman to graduate from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business with a Master of Business Administration in accounting. She joined Epsilon Sigma Omega chapter in 1972, and her daughter,

Karen, joined the chapter in 1979.

The work of the local chapter over the next four years will focus primarily on several areas. One of these is HBCU 4 Life: A Call to Action, which includes #CAP, a hands-on approach to the college application process.

Other focuses are women’s health care and wellness, “Building Your Economic Legacy,” the arts, and global impact.

Additionally, the chapter will partner with the Dauphin County commissioners for the second annual paper shred event in April. For the fifth consecutive year, the chapter will refresh, restore, and renew four area playgrounds to help sustain clean and safe play spaces to promote the healthy physical, social, and emotional development of children and families in low- to moderateincome communities. Epsilon Sigma Omega also will award more than $10,000 in scholarships to area graduating seniors. Also, for the 21st consecutive year, the sorority will host its African-American Read-In, which introduces children and their caregivers to the works of African-American authors and illustrators.

Fundraiser from pg 1 area. Organizers Meghan Phillips and Aimee Nelson noted that several participating restaurateurs use the event to test out new recipes and food and beverage combinations that they may be considering adding to their menus or selection - giving attendees an exclusive sneak peek at what may be to come.

Nelson said that this year’s event will feature some new vendors that organizers are excited about. However, plenty of fan favorites will be returning as well. “(A Taste of Western Lancaster County) has become such a tradition that we work to keep the elements that people look for - like having the giant Turkey Hill cow parked in front of the building,” shared Phillips.

As attendees make their way through the library, they can vote for winners in various categories, such as Best in Show, Best Dessert, and Best Appetizer. “Our vendors really stretch themselves to do new things,” remarked Phillips.

Live music will be performed by local bands on two levels of the library. “People

really enjoy staying and mingling and talking,” said Nelson. “I’m always amazed by how quickly the evening goes.” A Taste of Western Lancaster County has been coined “the Elizabethtown Reunion” by many of those who attend year after year. “It gives you the opportunity to see and connect with people from the community, plus you kind of get to put faces to the food from restaurants you go to,” Phillips said. “And you get to support two great community organizations.”

Tickets may be purchased at the Elizabethtown Coffee Company, located in the library; from a Rotarian; or by visiting www.eventbrite.com and searching for “2019 Taste of Western Lancaster County.”

Tickets are limited, and organizers encourage people to purchase early, as tickets to last year’s event sold out well in advance. To inquire about vendor and sponsorship opportunities at A Taste of Western Lancaster County, interested individuals may email admin@etownpubliclibrary.org or call the library at 717-367-7467.

Hi, everyone! The time has come. I must take down my Christmas decorations. I am sad. But now I will store them away in a safe place until November comes again. Of course, at the pace my life is going, it will be here before I know it! So for now … where are my Easter decorations?!

The Fern and the Bamboo One day I decided to quit. I quit my job, my relationship, and my spirituality. I wanted to quit my life. I went to the woods to have one last talk with God. “God,” I said. “Can you give me one good reason not to quit?”

His answer surprised me.

“Look around,” He said. “Do you see the fern and the bamboo?”

“Yes,” I replied.

“When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them,” He said. “I gave them light. I gave them water.

The fern quickly grew from the earth. Its brilliant green covered the floor. Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo.

“In the second year, the fern grew more vibrant and plentiful. And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. In year three, there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would not quit. In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. I would not quit.

“Then in the fifth year, a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared to the fern, it was seemingly small and insignificant. But just six months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall. It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive.

I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle.

“Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots? I would not quit on the bamboo. I will never quit on you.”

“Don’t compare yourself to others,” He continued. “The bamboo had a different purpose than the fern. Yet they both make the forest beautiful. Your time will come. You will rise high.”

“How high will I rise?” I asked.
