Northern York 7, Greencastle-Antrim 0: The Polar Bears began to take control midway through the first half and ended up beating the Blue Devils in a non-league Monday night in Dillsburg.

“The boys played well for the first 20 minutes and had the better of play,” G-A coach Tim Carey said. “But Northern has a deep bench and used it., while injuries and illness left us a bit short-handed. We never gave up; we just ran out of gas.

“Joe Lofton (15 saves) had a real nice game in goal for us.”

Northern (13-1-2), ranked No. 3 in District 3 Class 3A, led in shots, 22-4, and corner kicks, 3-0. Greencastle finishes its season at 5-13.
