Full attendance, intense student sections, and the bands bringing the energy. Welcome back to Friday nights in West Lampeter. After a season-opening loss to a very good Warwick team, the Pioneers were back in action against the Penn Manor Comets. The Comets opened their season with a surprising win over local rivals Conestoga Valley.   After a first quarter of batted-down passes and failed third-down conversions, the Pioneers needed some creativity to get the offense moving. QB Berkeley Wagner handed it off to wideout Hunter Hildenbrand on what was a seemingly innocent jet sweep play call, until Hildenbrand set his feet and chucked the ball 40 yards downfield to Dante Gilot, coming just short of the endzone. Jonathan Mellinger would punch it in on the next play.  It was full steam ahead from there, with the Pioneer ground-attack accounting for 3 more TDs over the course of the game. Andrew Reidenbaugh added 3 points on a late field goal, and the defense held strong for their first shut

  On Wednesday night, the Pioneer volleyball team took the short trip down to Quarryville for a battle with the Golden Mules. The Pioneers entered the matchup with a 1-1 record, shutting out Lebanon and falling to Garden Spot. The Mules were also 1-1, defeating Cocalico but losing to Lebanon. The Pioneers were without two of their better players in Emily Mullin and Anya Myers, presenting a tough challenge for the team.  The Pioneers jumped out to an early 6-2 lead thanks to a serving run from Jenna Hoover in the first set. From there, neither team was able to gain significant momentum until Hoover went on another run to bring the Pioneers within 4 points of winning the set. Once the Pioneers brought it to set point, the Mules went on a spirited run but fell just short, losing the set 25-22.  The second set was less competitive, with the Mules unable to get on any kind of run until late in the set. With the Pioneers on the doorstep of the set win, the Mules went on another run but were

Pioneers Can't Keep Up With Warriors in Season Opener

  Friday August 27th. The start of the high school football season. Not really. After numerous lightning delays, the players were supposed to be allowed on the field for warmups at 8pm. Around 7:55, another lightning bolt struck the ground, causing Warwick's athletic director to throw his hands up in frustration. The game was pushed back to Saturday.  Take two.  High school football is back. In this rendition of Saturday night lights, the back-to-back reigning District III 4-A champion Pioneers facing off against the Warwick Warriors, who went undefeated last season prior to forfeiting the 5-A title game due to a COVID-19 outbreak. The last time these sides faced off was all the way back in 2005, with the Pioneers winning by a score of 34-7.  After a slow start by both teams, the Warriors struck first, passing their way down the field until Christian Royer punched it in from the goal line to give Warwick a 7-0 lead. The Pioneers responded with a long drive of their own, only to end
