Boys lacrosse team handles Country Day, looks ahead to Hempfield

By -
The seniors stepped on the field for their last home game on Monday May 2. The Lampeter-Strasburg boys lacrosse team defeated Lancaster Country Day School 21-2. The team had a rough start. After calling a timeout, LCDS opened the scoring. The boys didn’t let that get in their heads, however. Nate Patterson, Teddy Mazaheri, and Alex Knarr all scored before the end of the first quarter.

The second quarter had a much faster start than the first. L-S had scored three more times (Knarr twice, and Noah Patterson once) before LCDS could manage to put another goal in the net. Towards the end of the first half it was L-S 8- LCDS 2, and L-S players continued to set up a beautiful goals. Nate Patterson took one of these set-ups, and claimed his 200th goal for L-S. After the game, Patterson preferred to talk about his team's accomplishment, saying, “The team came in really focused to play LCDS… the focus allowed us to win end to end”. 

The second half of the game was a blur of L-S goals. The L-S boys trampled over LCDS’s defense. Mazaheri scored early in the quarter which opened the door for L-S’s offensive show to begin. Knarr scored 5 and Trevor King scored 3 goals each. Tyler Zameroski and Kyle Metz also got a goal each. The finishing play that ended the game was an L-S goal by Joey Jordan. 

The seniors had a beautiful win to wrap up their season on the home field. Senior, Alex Knarr said “(he) spilled sauce on the field for the last time, let’s hope it stains” as a wish for this season to be remembered fondly. While sad that their last home game was over, all of the team looks forward to their next game on Wednesday at Hempfield, a matchup with playoff implications as L-S looks to notch its first win over the Black Knights.

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

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 step face on p
