SHIPPENSBURG — Greencastle-Antrim’s offense was in synch Monday night, and the defense wasn’t far behind.

Ryan Schick

That made it tough for Shippensburg to gain any traction, and the Blue Devils went on to post a 77-32 victory Monday night at Ship in G-A’s final regular season boys basketball game.

Greencastle claimed the Mid Penn Colonial Division championship with the victory, with an 18-4 overall record and 13-1 in the Colonial. The Blue Devils will now play the Commonwealth champion, Central Dauphin (18-4), in a semifinal game of the Mid Penn playoffs on Tuesday night at 7:30 at Mechanicsburg.

G-A blew out the Greyhounds by sinking an astounding 14 of 21 attempts from 3-point range, accounting for 42 points. Five different players hit the mark from long range.

Greencastle coach Todd Stephens said, “We’re feeling pretty good. SHooting-wise, it was probably our best game of the year. We shot well and played good defense, so it was a complete game.”

Alex Albright pocketed 18 points for the Blue Devils, but three others hit double figures — Ryan Schick scored 15 and Landen Swain and Dez Holman each produced 11 points. Camden Eby added 9 points.

Stephens said, “I knew we’d be a talented team, and it’s always our goal to win the division championship. We set goals and we got it done tonight.”

For Shippensburg, which finished 8-14 (7-7 MPC), Brady Morris led the scoring with 8 points.
