Few statistics can predict the outcome in a football game more accurate than turnover differential. The Bears 42-0 loss to Manheim Central on October 22nd serves as the perfect example. Central cruised to the win behind four Elizabethtown turnovers which also helped the Barons to a 350-127 yardage edge. One of those turnovers led to a 29-yard Owen Sensenig score that finished off the scoring while Manheim added a 41-yard Kahlen Watt punt return score during their 21-point fourth quarter outburst that turned a competitive affair into the 42-0 final.

Patrick Gilhool (two catches, 56 yards) and Brady Breault (two catches, 22 yards) handled the bulk of Josh Rudy's 90 passing yards and seven completions. Cade Capello topped the ground attack with 44 yards on 14 carries with Rudy adding 10-yards on seven carries.

BOYS' SOCCER

The boys' soccer team's foray into the District 3-4A postseason lasted 80-minutes thanks to a 4-0 loss on October 26th. Top seeded Central Dauphin handed E-town that loss, putting the Bears final mark at 6-8-3.

TENNIS

One of the most successful seasons in E-town girl's tennis came to a close on October 22nd when Allison Evans and Rylee Bender dropped their District 3-3A opening round doubles match. The pair fell to Mechanicsburg's Taryn Zerby and Patricia Kandrot, 6-2, 6-2.

VOLLEYBALL

Step one to the 2021 volleyball season is officially complete for the Lady Bears. With a 3-0 sweep over Garden Spot on October 20th, E-town wrapped up a perfect 16-0 regular season.

"E-town's girls' volleyball players are resilient and relentless," said interim head coach Karen Eberly. "They climbed every hurdle in their path this season to accomplish our first goal of winning Section Two. Now we are working hard to achieve the other goals that we have set for our season."

Angela Costa-Ouimet fronted the 25-20, 25-14, 25-12 regular season finale with 16 assists, eight digs and three aces. Sydney Stewart tallied 11 kills and three aces while Kallee Locker chipped in with three blocks.

The first step towards those other goals came on the 25th with a 25-21, 25-13, 25-15 victory over Manheim Township in the Lancaster-Lebanon League semifinals. Elizabethtown's 14th sweep of the season earned the Lady Bears a spot in the L-L finals for the first time since 2019 and just the third time overall. Stewart led the way with 13 kills and 11 digs while Costa-Ouimet added 19 assists and three aces. Paige Horst matched those three aces with Liz Kerin tacking on seven blocks.
