The Lampeter-Strasburg football team continued their road show the for second week by visiting non-league rival Penn Manor at Comet Field.

Ultimately, the Pioneers won in a 42-0 shutout that made a week of scorching hot practices and the trip all worth it.


Penn Manor entered their second game of the season with something to prove having lost their opening match-up to Conestoga Valley, 13-31 last week. L-S, on the other hand, brought a 1-0 record to the bout after beating Spring Grove, 35-13.


Junior Bryan McKim started the scoring frenzy for the Pioneers halfway through the second quarter with a three yard touchdown run. McKim did the same thing again in the third quarter. He finished the game with 107 yards on 14 carries.

Hot enough for you?
That was the question asked all week during summer's post-Labor Day death rattle after four consecutive days of 90 plus degree temperatures. It had been so hot, in fact, that after school sports practices were often delayed to 6 pm.


So when Friday's forecast called for cooler weather and a 7 pm start time, everyone was thrilled. What no one expected was that West York with an 0-2 record would bring the heat with them to Lampeter-Strasburg's JK Mechanical Stadium for the season home opener.

Last night's contest as marked the first…
