Nevin Hoenninger's 31 points not enough to overcome Warwick

By -
On December 9, 2015, the L-S girls varsity basketball team took on Warwick. With a strong presence from both teams, L-S and Warwick battled for the ball. At the end of the first quarter, the score was 17-15, with Warwick in the lead.

The second quarter was as tough as the first. L-S put in a number of shots. Junior guard Nevin Hoennninger made two 3-point shots in the beginning of the quarter, followed by a 2-point shot by freshman guard Brittney Zameroski and another 3-point shot by sophomore forward Laura Horner. Warwick led by one point at the half, 29-28.


The L-S girls would not give up, and after half time, they continued to play a good game. The third quarter progressed much like the first two. Both teams had fouls made against them, and took their foul shots with ease. Hoenninger notched two more field goals, but at the end of the quarter, Warwick led 50-43.

The final quarter brought about fierce gameplay. Many of our players made good shots. Hoenninger and Horner both made 2 and 3 point shots. The game ended with a final score of 66-57. Warwick took home the victory largely due to its dominance at the free throw line (17 points compared to just 3 for L-S), but L-S has a good season in the making. With just one returning senior (reserve guard Rachel Shortes), it may take time for the team to gel, but when they do, they may just have something special.

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

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

Rumble Fish Book Review

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 step face on p
