On Tuesday, February, Lampeter-Strasburg Junior High Boys Basketball went to Garden Spot for their last game of the season. When they last faced off, the Pioneers beat the Spartans by over 20 points. But Garden Spot was definitely ready to play this time. 
The game started off with the usual starters Beau Heyser, Luka Vranich, Payton Cunningham, Carson Garver, and Berkeley Wagner. From the tipoff, L-S was not looking so great. In the first minute, the Pioneers would be down five before they would score their first basket of the game making it 5-2. Late in first quarter, number 50 on Garden Spot took a bad fall on his ankle and was out for the rest of the game. The rest of the first half was back and forth of both sides, but at the buzzer, L-S was leading 22-14.

In the third quarter, a lot of things changed on both teams. L-S turned it over a lot less, and Garden Spot clamped up on defense to keep it a tight game. At the end of the third, L-S still led, but the score was 23-28.

In My Own Words
In this installment of In My Own Words, Andrew Reidenbaugh recounts the struggles of the boys swim team this season.

 This past Wednesday the Lampeter-Strasburg swim team had there last regular season meet, which was against Ephrata. The L-S girls swim team has been doing really good this season, but the boys are struggling for their first win.

The reason behind that is we have a jaw-dropping seven boys in total. Therefore we have to give up easy points to the opponent because we don't have enough boys to compete in every event. If you get first you get six points, second is three points, third is two points, and finally fourth is one point. Therefore if we don't have any boys for one single event, the other team immediately gets 11 points.

I swam in the 100m freestyle, which I got second in with a time of 58.67 seconds, my new personal record. I swam in the 200m freestyle relay, which is when there are four people per team and each person as to do a 50m freestyl…
