Conestoga Boys Varsity team returned home one last time in an important District 1 playoff game with the winner to play for the 5th or 6th seed from District 1 in the State Championships.  And once again the boys put on a show, electrifying the crowd and coming away with a 62-51 win over a very athletic Pennwood High School team. The first half was very close with both teams defending well.  The lead exchanged hands throughout the half as Conestoga led 17-16 after the first, but Pennwood took a 26-28 lead into intermission.  However, Stoga exploded in the third quarter outscoring their opponent Read more…

In a District 1 Quarter-final playoff game, Plymouth Whitemarsh held Conestoga to its lowest scoring game of the season and left their home gym with a 29-44 victory.  Led by a 7-foot sophomore who had at least a dozen blocks inside the paint, and some athletic guards taking away Stoga’s dependable three-point shot, the Pioneers were left with no answers.  Senior Captain Angus Mayock gutted out a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds on the night.   Stoga will now play couple more games to decide their seed in the State Championships.

Both mentally and physically, the Pioneers needed to regroup to get ready for the district playoffs, where they were ranked No. 7 in the new 6A classification. While most teams would rue a 10 day break that would throw them off their two-game-a-week rhythm, the Pioneers got exactly what they Read more…

The Mayocks are having standout seasons for their respective basketball teams. BY MICHAEL BRADLEY Angus Mayock When Katie Mayock’s father showed her a photograph of the scorebook from her brother Angus’ 36-point explosion in Conestoga’s 72-69 win at Lower Merion on Dec. 20, she couldn’t believe it. The guy who spent last year playing rugged defense and setting screens – okay, there was that three-pointer against Neshaminy – had set the scoring record in Kobe Bryant Gymnasium? “I saw the picture and said, ‘That’s Angus? Oh, my goodness,’” Katie says with a laugh. The 6-foot-4 Pioneer senior had taken advantage Read more…

With dominant big man John Harrar marauding in the paint, and the Panthers eager to settle a score from last season, Strath Haven took it to the title favorites. Harrar dominated the interior for all 32 minutes, en route to 25 points and 17 rebounds in Strath Haven’s 62-54 win over the top seeded Pioneers. “Those games got us ready Read more…
