Tuesday, February 21, 2012 GIRLS BASKETBALL Callie Butts had 16 points, 10 steals and five assists to lead Heritage Academy to a 62-23 win over Cumberland Valley Christian in the quarterfinals of the Mason Dixon Christian Conference tournament on Tuesday. Rachel Clarke added 16 points, eight steals and seven rebounds and Jessica Gaylor had 12 points for the Eagles (21-1). Kara Stamper returned from a 10-game absence due to injury and had eight points, nine rebounds and three blocks.

Heritage Academy's road to the Mason Dixon Christian Conference boys tournament championship trophy was certainly made a little easier with Broadfording out of the path. Everyone - except maybe for Shalom Christian's coaches, players and fans - expected that Heritage and Broadfording would tangle in Saturday's championship game, but Shalom threw a monkey wrench into the proceedings with its shocker over the Lions on Friday night. The Eagles began to dominate Saturday's final early and won their fifth MDCC title in the last 11 years, rolling past Shalom 64-33 at Grace Academy.

Going undefeated through the Mason Dixon Christian Conference regular season is nothing new for Heritage Academy. After all, the Eagles haven't lost an MDCC regular-season or tournament match since the 2009 tournament semifinals. Tuesday's 25-16, 25-19, 25-15 sweep of Cumberland Valley Christian capped another perfect regular season for Heritage, an accomplishment even senior star Kara Stamper and coach Young-Sook Anderson have to be impressed by - if not entirely surprised. Stamper had 23 kills, four aces and two blocks to lead the Eagles (15-0, 14-0)

Heritage Academy capped off an unbeaten baseball season with a 10-5 win over Shalom Christian in the championship game of the Mason Dixon Christian Conference tournament on Monday at Grace Academy. “I just wanted to get guys on base and steal,” Heritage coach Jeff Kriner said. “I think our speed on the field was the biggest thing and that made the difference. Whenever Shalom had a pretty big inning, we answered back with one of our own. “This was our second straight tournament title and the fifth one for our three seniors, since they were in the eighth grade.” Those seniors - Collin Poyle, Bryce Nigh and Bubba Kriner - are the first three hitters in the order for Heritage (10-0)

Broadfording Christian Academy and New Life Christian School split two Mason Dixon Christian Conference boys basketball regular-season matchups. The “tiebreaker” came in Saturday's MDCC Tournament championship game. Only four players scored for New Life, but those four did just enough damage to sink Broadfording 67-66 for the title. “We have four guys who average around 14 to 17 points per game,” Rams coach Bruce Bryant said. “They can all score at any time - it's a nice luxury.” Nate DeJong led New Life (20-8)

The third time was a charm for Heritage Academy's girls basketball team. After losing to New Life Christian in the Mason Dixon Christian Conference Tournament championship game in each of the past two seasons, the Eagles turned the tables on the Rams in Saturday's title tilt, coming out on top with a tough 40-38 victory. “It was definitely quite a battle,” Heritage coach Dana Henson said. “We did a good job on the boards. For the most part, we kept our composure.” Heritage (22-1)

Friday, May 20, 2011 PREP BASEBALL Trevor Snodderly had two hits, including a two-run homer in a four-run second inning that gave Broadfording a 5-0 lead on the way to a 5-3 MDCC tournament semifinal victory over Cumberland Valley Christian at Grace Academy on Friday. Joe Garrish had two hits and drove in two runs for the Lions (10-6), who will face Heritage Academy at Shalom Christian for the title. Garrish (5-3) also earned the victory with four innings of two-hit ball, allowing two runs.

Heritage Academy capped off an unbeaten baseball season with a 10-5 win over Shalom Christian in the championship game of the Mason Dixon Christian Conference tournament on Monday at Grace Academy. “I just wanted to get guys on base and steal,” Heritage coach Jeff Kriner said. “I think our speed on the field was the biggest thing and that made the difference.

Even though the Heritage Academy baseball team provided plenty of offense during its season opener on Tuesday, coach Jeff Kriner isn't settling for it. The Eagles are capable of bigger and better things. Heritage notched a 19-1 win over Grace Academy in a Mason Dixon Christian Conference game that lasted 4 1/2 innings at Hellane Park. And it was without even trying. “I thought that we did good,” Kriner said. “The offense was a little sluggish. I think that we will pick it up in the next couple of games.” Senior pitchers Bryce Nigh and Bubba Kriner combined on a one-hitter.

Heritage Academy's road to the Mason Dixon Christian Conference boys tournament championship trophy was certainly made a little easier with Broadfording out of the path. Everyone - except maybe for Shalom Christian's coaches, players and fans - expected that Heritage and Broadfording would tangle in Saturday's championship game, but Shalom threw a monkey wrench into the proceedings with its shocker over the Lions on Friday night. The Eagles began to dominate Saturday's final early and won their fifth MDCC title in the last 11 years, rolling past Shalom 64-33 at Grace Academy.

Heritage Academy gave Broadfording Christian a lesson from the School of Fundamental Basketball 101 for three quarters. Broadfording paid attention and turned a nine-point deficit at the beginning of the fourth quarter into a 62-59 victory on Tuesday night to win the regular-season Mason Dixon Christian Conference championship. Barring any upsets in the league, there's a chance the two teams will meet again on Feb. 23 in the MDCC tournament championship at Grace Academy. “It's a big loss because they'll be the No. 1 seed and it'll be tougher as the No. 2 seed,” Heritage coach Mike Kidd said.
