One and Done most often refers to the NBA rule about players needing one year out of high school before becoming eligible for the draft but it does have other meanings. One of those meanings would be when a team's postseason adventure lasts all of one game as was the case for the Elizabethtown football team.

The Bears rolled through their 2022 regular season slate with a spiffy 8-2 mark, earning them a District 3-5A first round playoff game at home, their first since 2018. That home game brought old Section Two foe, Cocalico, to town with the Eagles using a power rushing attack to secure a 42-2 victory, ending E-town's season at 8-3.

Cocalico's racked up 327 rushing yards while E-town ended up in the negative by 20 yards, thanks to a handful of Eagle sacks. That left Cade Cappello and his three yards on six carries as team leader.

The Bears, as they have been all season, were more successful through the air with Josh Rudy tallying 157 yards on 15 of 22 passing but no touchdowns and one interception. Braden Cummings finished his stellar year with a four catch, 70-yard game, putting him at 65 catches for 1,563 yards and 17 touchdowns, all tops in the Lancaster-Lebanon League. Add in Cummings' previous work and he finishes his E-town career with 101 catches for 2,279 yards and 25 TDs. Rudy also managed to top the L-L chart, although he did his work in the passing category, finishing with 2,890 yards for the season and 5,463 for his career. That career mark is top in Elizabethtown history and the 19th best career tally in L-L history.

CROSS COUNTRY

The cross-country season is officially in the books. Jordan DiRisio tied the finishing bow Saturday November 5th by taking part in the PIAA-3A Championship race at the Parkview course in Hershey.

DiRisio, who was named to the first team all Section Two team along with teammates Lilah Drager and Ali Fink, covered the state course, which head coach Ed Barlow described as "very difficult" in 20:44.7. That was the second-best time of all the L-L runners in the 3A race and good enough to push the senior into 56th place in the 233 person 3A field.

"Jordan did very well in the warm weather on Saturday," said Barlow, "When you look at the total of runners in the state you must realize how difficult it is to even qualify for the race. I was happy with her race as well as she was. This was a really good close to her season and she is looking forward to continuing her success during the track season."
