RECAP <\/p>\n
When Hersheys girls basketball team walked off the court on Dec. 20 after a 33-25 loss to Lower Dauphin, the Trojans were 1-6 overall and scratching their collective heads. <\/p>\n
Now, Hershey is one of the hottest teams not only in Mid-Penn Keystone play, but also around District 3. <\/p>\n
The Trojans won for the eighth time in nine games on Monday night, beating the approaching Polar vortex with a 48-35 Keystone win over visiting Susquehanna Township. <\/p>\n

Hershey got back to .500 in the division at 6-6, and improved to 9-7 overall. It trails front-runner Mechanicsburg by five games, but has played major spoiler here lately with wins over Palmyra and Trinity. <\/p>\n
Susquehanna Township, which never led Monday, had its 3-game winning streak snapped and slipped to 6-5 in the Keystone and to 8-8 overall. <\/p>\n
Like Hershey, the Indians have been relegated to Keystone spoiler. And Hanna will get a chance to throw a major monkey wrench into the race; the Indians play first-place Mechanicsburg on Jan. 27 and again on Jan. 31. <\/p>\n
Hershey and Hanna are still thinking postseason; Trojans are 25th in the latest District 3-AAAA power rankings the top 20 teams qualify and the Indians are 12th in the latest District 3-AAA power rankings, with the top 18 teams getting a bid. <\/p>\n
