Volleyball team works together to roll over Crimson Tide of Columbia

By -
Entering its match against Columbia, the girls’ volleyball team was 1-0 after beating Manheim Central 3-1. (25-12, 22-25, 25-11, 25-16). The ladies from Columbia entered the match with a winless record of 0-2 overall and 0-1 in their league.

Jordyn Kondras got three aces.
Emma Cohen contributed to
the second set win with
several of her own kills.
Allyson Dull had both kills and aces
aiding in the victory over Columbia.
Leah Wieland led the Pioneers
to an easy 25-8 victory 
in the second set.

 The match started off well for the Lady Pioneers. They opened the first set with a 6-2 lead. Jordyn Kondras got three aces in a row to take the score from 14-6 to 17-6. Leah Wieland also played well, with 4 kills, including the set winner. L-S won the first set 25-11, and it only got better from there.

Going into the second set with a 1-0 lead, the ladies did not let up. Kills from Leah Wieland, Emma Cohen, Allyson Dull, and Alexa Troiano, along with aces from Allyson Dull, and Leah Wieland led the Pioneers into an easy 25-8 victory.

The final set was more tightly contested, however. It was not until the score got into the high teens that the girls began to pull away. Their defensive play shined in the third set with the ladies providing great coverage defensively. The Pioneers won the third set 25-17 to secure the win.

"Teamwork and determination are what won the match for us," said Katelyn Reed. "We wanted to get the season off to a good start."

 The girls' next match is against Solanco, who is 0-1 going into their match tonight against Penn Manor.

Advice: How to get straight As

By -

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 ...

Rumble Fish Book Review

By -

I recently finished reading  Rumble Fish  written by S.E. (Susan Eloise) Hinton and published in 1975. The book starts with Rusty-James on a beach and he runs into an old friend of his that he hadn’t seen in years, Steve. That’s when he flashes back to everything he and Steve had done and been through when they were kids. Rusty-James’ memory is all messed up, and he barely ever remembered much from his childhood, but seeing Steve made everything come back to him… and that was probably for the worst. Most of the book is from Rusty-James’ point of view (in a flashback) when he was fourteen years old. He was the toughest kid in his neighborhood… besides his brother, the Motorcycle Boy, of course. The Motorcycle Boy’s real name is never said, everyone just calls him the Motorcycle Boy because he was constantly stealing and riding motorcycles. He was older than Rusty-James and everyone in their neighborhood respected him and thought he was the coolest and toughest guy to ...

Book Review: Read the story of 14-year-old 'Tex' an aimless, trouble-prone youth

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...
