A longtime traditional contender in Lancaster-Lebanon League Section 1, the Hempfield Black Knights are looking to bounce back from last season’s unfamiliar record (3-19 overall, 1-9 Section 1).
Spencer Troyer, a 6-4 senior, has averaged 10.2 points per game for his career and he says the Knights are coming into this year ready to compete.
“We have a new mindset,” Troyer explained. “We don’t like the look of last year. We intend to change the script.”
The team has come back stronger and has put the work in to get better. As for himself, “I want to be a better leader, a better overall player and a better free throw shooter,’’ said Troyer, who scored 23 points in a January loss to McCaskey last season.
Troyer feels like McCaskey will be the team to beat in Section 1, but expects Hempfield “to be at the top of the section fighting for the top spot.”
