There were a half dozen games on Monday’s L-L League girls basketball schedule — five of them of the nonleague variety, plus a hotly contested Section 2 tilt. Here’s the roundup, plus some notables:
NONLEAGUE
Donegal 43, Red Land 37 — Exhale, Mount Joy. It took until late January, but the Indians are in the W column. Hannah Mumper ripped four 3-pointers and matched her season-high with 16 points, Hailey Bomberger chipped in with 10 points, and Donegal snapped a 15-game slide to open the season after picking off the host Patriots. Donegal built a 28-12 lead at the half, and then fended off Red Land’s fourth-quarter comeback attempt to slam the door.
Manheim Township 43, Chambersburg 25 — The Blue Streaks gassed up the bus and made the 92-mile hike to Franklin County. And Township headed back home with a win, its third in a row. The Streaks outscored the host Trojans 31-8 over the middle two quarters — including a seal-the-deal 18-4 third-quarter run — and never looked back. Ciniya Robinson (four 3-pointers, 20 points) and Aniyah Williams (11 points) paced Township’s offense.
Susquehanna Township 51, McCaskey 23 — At the MLK Classic at PSU-Harrisburg, Hanna sprinted to a 30-9 lead at the break, then opened up some more breathing room with a 17-8 third-quarter clip and downed the Red Tornado. Hanna started the week at No. 2 in the D3-4A power ratings — percentage points behind Northern Lebanon. Sarai Lewis scored 11 points for McCaskey.
DISTRICT 3 GIRLS BASKETBALL POWER RATINGS
Biglerville 42, Annville-Cleona 35 — The host Dutchmen saw their snazzy 5-game winning streak come to a halt, after the Canners closed the game on a 19-6 blitz and picked up the come-from-behind victory. Savannah Kleinfelter and Georgia Sellers scored 9 points apiece for A-C, which had a 19-16 lead at the half, and a 29-23 cushion heading into the fourth quarter. But the Dutchmen couldn’t slam the door.
Palmyra 47, Hempfield 32 — The host Cougars used a 13-0 second-quarter spree for a 20-6 halftime edge, and Palmyra handed the Black Knights their eighth straight setback. Asheion Burgess popped in 13 points for Hempfield, which played a spirited second half — but couldn’t catch the Cougars.

* Game of the Night is up on the hill at Columbia, where the Crimson Tide will welcome Pequea Valley for a Section 4 showdown. The Braves are in first place; Columbia gets a tie for the lead with a victory. If Pequea Valley wins Tuesday, and if the Braves then win Thursday at home vs. Annville-Cleona, Pequea Valley gets the outright section championship. It’s a big week for the Braves. … Ephrata will try and remain on Warwick’s heels in the Section 2 hunt when the Mountaineers welcome Garden Spot, which has been a thorn in everyone’s side. … Section leaders will collide in an intriguing nonleague scrap, when outright Section 1 leader Cedar Crest welcomes Section 3 tri-leader L-S. … In another non-con battle, one night after taking Warwick to the wire, CV stays home to welcome Manheim Central, which is out to snap a 2-game slide, after falling out of a 4-way tie for first in Section 3 last week.
And this: Veritas Academy senior Noel Simpson needs 15 points on Tuesday at home vs. Ephrata Mennonite to join the 1,000-point club. Veritas is 12-1, in first place in the CCAC East, and at No. 1 in the D3-1A power ratings.
