A quick article about a quick tennis match ... L-S beat ELCO

By -

In another successful tennis match, L-S defeated ELCO 6 to 1. ELCO brought only seven players, barely above the minimum. 

In doubles, the Capoferri sisters got off to a rough start, as ELCO won five of the eight games. Having handily won previous matches during the season, the Capoferris' struggles were uncharacteristic, and prompted teammate Sam Tran to say, “That never happens!” 

Towards the end of their match, though, the sisters came back to win 8 to 5. The second doubles were in the lead while struggling for a few matches, whereas the third doubles were undefeated in a speedy match.

“Court 3 is killing it! They are doing amazing!” commented one of the players. 

Sami Williams and Izzy Mazaheri won their doubles match on the third court, which helped to win all of the doubles matches. 

Later, during singles, Lauren Rettew won a very quick match, whereas Taylor Capoferri’s singles match took longer than usual -- her opponent was very well paired against her. This has not been the first time that the Capoferris have played with the top ELCO girl, they have played with her before during tennis tournaments.

Both Capoferris and Rettew ended up winning both of her sets for singles, leaving Shirley Drot de Gourville with the sole loss of the day for the Pioneers. The match was surprisingly a fast paced match, leaving many of the spectators astonished. 

Overall, the match was another victory for the L-S tennis team, continuing their undefeated start to the season.

Advice: How to get straight As

Achieving straight As, or an unweighted GPA of 4.0, is the goal of many high school students. Getting straight As involves a lot of hard work, but it isn't impossible. Here is how I believe you can get all As. Do your homework. The number of students who do not do their homework shocks me. But doing your homework has many benefits and will help keep your grades up. Those five points you receive for a homework check matter, and when you get a 0 out of 5, it matters even more. Doing your homework also helps you learn the information, raising your test and quiz grades as well. Don't procrastinate. Procrastination is the downfall of many high school students who are capable of good grades. When you receive an assignment, do it ASAP. And when you are given the date of a test, start studying immediately instead of waiting and then cramming the night before. When you do this, you are likely to be less stressed, which increases the quality of the work you do. Don't put

Book Review Before school started, I went to Barnes & Noble to get a few books from my favorite author, S.E. (Susan Eloise) Hinton, to read as the year started. I got That was Then This is Now , Rumble Fish , (a third copy of) The Outsiders , and Tex .  I had already read The Outsiders at least nine times, I had finished That was Then This is Now , and I had just finished Rumble Fish , so I decided to pick up Tex and start reading. The author of these books writes them in the only way I can ever read books. First person point of view with a relatable narrator.  This one was told by the point of view of Texas (Tex) McCormick, a fourteen year old boy who is living with his brother Mason because they’re mom died when Tex was little and their dad walked out on them a few months back.Texas (Left) and Mason (Right) McCormick Texas believes that Pop (their dad) will be back soon, but Mason knows otherwise…or at least he thinks he does. Tex has a few close friends and is r

On March 14th, 2024, Lampeter-Strasburg High School hosted the District Chorus Concert. Students from 4th to 12th grade performed captivating songs, and the auditorium was packed full of friends and family members who came to watch the performance.  Preparation for the concert was a long process, but a much needed one. No one knew how to sing the songs in the beginning, but after several rehearsals and time to fix the small details, they got to the level they performed at on the 14th.  The evening started off with the youngest singers of the night: the 4th and 5th graders. Their performance was followed by the Martin Meylin Madrigal singers and chorus, followed by the High School Madrigals and chorus. To end the evening, all groups joined on stage to perform “Ad Astra” together, a beautiful piece consisting of Latin and English lyrics. The song received a standing ovation from many members of the audience.  “I think it was a beautiful event,” stated James Appelgrijn, a junior in the Hi
