Mifflin County will clash with Palmyra on Monday night at home.

The Lady Huskies have defended home court well this season posting a 3-1 record with their only loss coming against Milton Hershey on the heels of a 59-45 loss.

Mifflin County has the advantage when it comes to the knack to score points in their first six games the Purple and White have put up 266 points averaging 44.3 points per game.

During that time the Huskies have defended that quite well holding one blowout loss to their resume and it happened on the road at Cedar Cliff where the Lady Huskies found themselves on the wrong end of things falling to the C**ts 45-26.

Mifflin County will look to put that in the rear view mirror as they will have to focus on the task at hand and that's trying to stop senior phenom Addi Salus; she averages 20 points per game.

When it comes to this particular matchup she is tops when it comes to competition and the desire to put up points and make it hard on defenses because Salus in this upcoming matchup against the Huskies she is the leading scorer by average.

Mifflin County has three players that compete at a high level and it starts with junior Jayda Kanagy as she enters this game averaging 14.1 points per game but also is shooting the three ball at a high right with 16 triples on the season with her season high coming against Hershey a couples of games ago.

Kanagy is automatic that's for sure but the Cougars will have to focus on two other productive players Mackenzie Peachey and Payton Weaver Peachey is averaging 12.3 points per game while Weaver is averaging 9.1 they both enter their senior seasons but can also both shoot the three ball really well.

It should be a good matchup. Mifflin County has only lost two games this season under their first year head coach Crystal Weaver but she knows what Huskies basketball is all about being with the program and being a mentor to her kids and now their head coach.

The question will be can the Huskies find a way to stop the veteran minded Salus.

Palmyra will also look to snap a two game losing streak with hope being on the Cougars side when Salus gets the ball because she can change the game.

Mifflin County will look to rebound from a loss they suffered on the road at Cedar Cliff Friday.

By Joshua Yoder
FISHERS, IN - The Fishers Event Center got to witness what many of us in Mifflin County have been seeing for years.Trent Hidlay!

Hidlay made his long awaited debut for the Real American Freestyle during its RAF 4 show this past Saturday.

Hidlay, who was already having an incredible year of 2025 with all of the accolades went one on one with Jacob Cardenas.

Trent was able to end his already amazing year and defeated Cardenas by the final of 5-3.

Former Penn State Nittany Lion Bo Nickal who was supposed to have competed at the event, had to pull out of his match with Yoel Romero for unknown reasons. With that being said, Romero defeated Pat Downey to become the Interim Light Heavyweight title and then afterwards called out Nickal.

Jason Nolf, another former Penn State wrestler, defeated his opponent Andy Varela via tech fall 10-0.

Congratulations to you Trent! Thank you for being an inspiration to us all!

Until Next Time!

CAMP HILL - The Mifflin County boys basketball team (4-2) made a road trip to take on conference foe the Cedar Cliff C**ts (4-1) with tipoff slated for 5:15 at Cedar Cliff High School.

Mifflin County entered this game feeling pretty good winning their last three games with their last one being a convincing 53-38 home win over Hershey.

Nothing came easy for the Lady Huskies as they played from behind early and often against a really good Cedar Cliff team.
Mifflin County's offense was spudderling early as they could only grind out eight points.Mifflin County would be held to three points in the second quarter with the only Huskies points coming from Jayda Kanagy's triple from deep.

Cedar Cliff was brilliant on both ends of the floor. Rees Hall led in scoring with ten but the solid defense from Lyla Kaecher and others would pay dividends for the C**ts in the long run to help them dispatch the Huskies in front of the C**t faithful.

“Cedar Cliff did a really good job offensively and very disciplined,” said Mifflin County coach Crystal Weaver. They really look to go to their big girls inside. So I thought we did a good job. We have to battle inside against their good two girls inside and then unfortunately then they got the open shots on the outside so we have a similar matchup coming Tuesday against Palmyra having some big kids too. So we just have to keep battling there and defensively we’re just going to need to be able to recover better and get out it out to our shooters. When asked about the underclassmen like Lily Curry and others coming up with points off the bench. I'm really confident with our younger players and I will put them in at any moment that I think that they'll fit it does offer a little bit of fresh breath here knowing that we have some competitive kids that are hard workers that are willing to step in and not be afraid.”
Curry provided a spark in the offense despite the loss for an offense that was lacking points. Curry had four points in the losing effort. Mifflin County got 23 points from their players off the bench. Cirara Williams led in scoring on a late three pointer.
Mifflin County will be back home on Monday to take on Palmyra tipoff slated for 7:00 pm it will be construction night in the Dawg Pound as the Lady Huskies will look to get back to work.
