Heartbreaker

Those of you involved in the basketball program at Donegal, and all of you loyal blog followers are aware that the team was on the playoff bubble.  In order to qualify for the Lancaster-Lebanon League Playoffs, the Indians would need to have some luck on their side.  Any combination of 2 more wins than Manheim Central would earn Donegal a trip to the LL's.

The Indians have been playing much better, team basketball following back-to-back losses to Manheim Central and Lancaster Catholic.  The team has won three straight games and is looking forward to a potential District 3 playoff game next Friday night.

Unfortunately, last night, Manheim Central beat Northern Lebanon in a close 56-50 game thus dashing the LL dreams for the Indians.

Despite the heartbreaking news, the Indians still have a lot to play for.  Currently, Donegal is the 17th seed in the District 3 AAA playoffs.  If the rankings hold, the Indians will travel to Kennard-Dale high school for a rematch with the York County team.  However, a combination of a Donegal victory and a Kennard-Dale loss, may allow the Indians to host a district playoff game.

That being said, tonight is the last currently scheduled home game for the 2010-2011 Indians.  Come support the team as they host Garden Spot tonight at 8:00 PM.
