On Tuesday night, the boys' basketball team hosted the Northeastern Bobcats in the first round of the District III playoffs. The Bobcats were 11-6 entering the game, earning themselves the 11th seed in the tournament. The Pioneers (8-3) were seeded in the 6th spot and were coming off a tough loss to Lower Dauphin in their last game. Unlike previous renditions of the District III tournament, there is no consolation bracket. This is due to only the winner of the tournament qualifying for the PIAA bracket.  Luka Vranich in Game vs Lancaster Mennonite (Jon Klein) The Pioneers started off the game on an 8-0 scoring run after a bucket from Luka Vranich and two three-pointers from Tyler Burton. The Bobcats answered right back, going on an 8-0 run of their own thanks in part to great three-point shooting. With 30 seconds remaining in the quarter, Burton hit a jump shot to send the Pioneers into the second quarter up 10-8.  The Pioneers were undeniably the better team in the second quarter,

On Saturday afternoon, the boys' basketball team traveled to New Holland for a matchup with the Garden Spot Spartans. The Pioneers were playing on short rest, losing to Cocalico just last night. The Pioneers defeated the Spartans 59-40 earlier this season, with Tyler Burton scoring 28 points.   Luka Vranich in Game vs Manheim Central (Jon Klein) The Spartans came out of the locker room ready to play, jumping out to a 7-0 lead. Jesse Martin and Tyler Martin played well in the first quarter, each scoring 5 points for the Spartans. The Pioneers were down by a score of 20-9 going into the second quarter.  The second quarter was far more competitive and evenly matched. Hunter Hildenbrand came off the bench and provided a spark for the Pioneers, immediately knocking down a three-pointer for his first career varsity points. The Pioneers continued to play well, finding open shots in the paint and producing turnovers defensively. The Pioneers reduced the gap to 29-28 by halftime. Jonathan V

Editorial: We are all on the same team for next week's food drive

By -
The annual student council food drive begins next week. Hunger is not an issue that one necessarily associates with the Lampeter-Strasburg community, and the competitive overdrive that the food drive often foments tends to mask it even further. But amidst all the strategizing over how to win the ironic prize -- a hot breakfast graciously sponsored by Darrenkamps -- a key fact hides: over the past ten years, the number of L-S students on free and reduced lunches has nearly doubled, from 11.7% in 2005 to 21.8% last year. What a staggering figure! To quantify that number, out of approximately 3000 students enrolled in the District, more than 650 receive free or reduced lunches. According to USDA guidelines , to be eligible to receive reduced lunches, a family of four must earn less than $29,101 per year. That is a reality for more than one in five students at L-S. It’s easy to think that hunger is not a real problem in our community, that food donated next week goes to some
