Streaks stop streak of winning for L-S boys lacrosse team

By -
Mondays are always tough. For the L-S boys' lacrosse team, Monday, April 11 was one of those tough days.
Teddy Mazaheri grapples at a faceoff

April 11 marked the end of the Lampeter-Strasburg boys lacrosse team’s undefeated streak; the Pioneers lost to Mannheim Township 18-6. Township earned an early lead in the first quarter scoring two goals before an L-S time out. Unfortunately, the break gave Township the advantage; they scoring three more goals to open a five-point advantage. L-S eventually regained control of the ball and Alex Knarr scored off an assist from Nate Patterson. 

In the second quarter, Township once again started with a goal at the beginning, but Teddy Mazaheri scored again for L-S. Township reopened their five point lead scoring yet again before Patterson, Logan Miller, and Knarr each scored a goal before half to cut the deficit to 7-5.

At half L-S was very much still in the game, only behind by two, but the cards did not seem in their favor.

Goalie Marco Peticca continued playing with strong save after save, but Township’s persistence kept up. Township hammered four goals in before L-S called another time out. By the fourth quarter, Township was up 14-5.

L-S defense put up a strong fight in the fourth quarter; Peticca continued with great saves, but sadly it was not enough. Township wracked up another four goals. The game ended on somewhat of a conciliatory note with Trevor King scoring with less than a minute left, ending Township’s rigid control of the ball. L-S lost to Mannheim Township 18-6, ending their winning streak.

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

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
