As an LVC Assistant, Andrews is Not Living Her Dream
Written by Jeff Falk   

 Sometimes the harder we look for direction, the more difficult it is to find. And sometimes when we're not looking at all, life has a way of finding us.

 Catherine Andrews wasn't necessarily searching for direction. But it could've been there in front of her the whole time.

 And the way it's turned out thus far is better than she never imagined.

 Andrews, the former Lebanon Catholic stand-out, became Lebanon Valley College women's basketball coach Todd Goclowski's only assistant quite by accident. On Friday, the 23-4 Flying Dutchmen will make their first-ever appearance in the NCAA Division Three tournament when they take on New York's 25-2 Medaille at Marymount College in Arlington, VA.

 "I've never been on a team that's been to a tournament," said Andrews. "Being part of it is something special. Getting to the (Commonwealth Conference) championship game two years in a row, I'm being spoiled. But getting to the tournament is mind-boggling. It's awesome."

 Andrews led Lebanon Catholic to four straight District Three championships in the early 2000s, then went on to start three years on West Chester University's Division Two club. After graduating in 2008 with a degree in communication studies, Andrews was working at local radio station WQIC when fate stepped in.

Killian's Best Lands Him in Chocolatetown for the Second Straight Year
Written by Jeff Falk   

 Sometimes, it's OK to finish second.

 It's always OK to do your best.

 Realistically, second was the best Dylan Killian was going to do on Saturday at the Class AA regional wrestling tournament at Wilson High School. And that's exactly where the Annville-Cleona junior finished in the 140-pound weight class bracket.

 In the championship match of the bracket, Killian was tech falled 18-3 at the 2:37 mark by Schuylkill Valley stud Colin Shober. The top-seeded Shober, who has won 189 straight bouts, is the second-rated wrestler at his weight in the country.

 Yet despite the overwhelming setback, Killian qualified for the PIAA Class AA tournament for the second consecutive year. Killian will open competition at the state tournament on Thursday at Hershey's Giant Center.

 Killian earned his shot at Shober with the 101st win of his career - a 5-3 overtime decision over Juniata's Seth Beitz - in Saturday's semifinal. A week earlier at the District Three Class AA tournament at Hersheypark Arena, Shober had scored a 20-5, 6:00 technical fall of Killian in the finals at 140.
