It was a crazy week in the Tri-Valley League boys' basketball second-half chase.

After last Monday's action, it seemed as if Upper Dauphin was in control of its own destiny after a win over Millersburg.

When the week came to a close, following Halifax's upset win at Upper Dauphin (see separate story this issue), Line Mountain was the local squad sharing the front-runner post with Greenwood.

Line Mountain 54, Halifax 44, Jan. 25: The Eagles kept their hat in the ring at the week's outset by holding off the host 'Cats. Line Mountain limited Halifax to 15 first half points in opening an 11-point lead at the break.

The Eagles were paced by three players reaching double figures. Cole Rickert led the way with 16 points. Mike Marciniak tossed in 14 and Trae Wren added 12.

Reece Gonsar and Joe Schwalm shared top scoring honors for the Wildcats with both scoring 14 points. Drew Osenbach added 12.

Millersburg 81, East Juniata 69, Jan. 29: Millersburg bounced back after its tough week-opening loss to Upper Dauphin, finding its offense at East Juniata.

The game was tight until the fourth quarter, when Millersburg outscored the Tigers 22-11 to pull away. Jake Haddock had 10 of his 19 points in that decisive frame.

Ian Klinger led all scorers with 22 points. He also had eight rebounds. Josh Clark added 17 points, nine rebounds and six assists. Zach Maiden also had six assists.
