Field Hockey: Blantz Stars as Pioneers Move to 2-0

By -
On a chilly and wet Saturday morning in West Lampeter, the reigning L-L league champion Pioneer field hockey team took on the Donegal Indians. The Pioneers controlled possession throughout most of the first quarter. Daisy Frank opened scoring for the Pioneers after a wonderful pass from sophomore Rowan Kimmel. Donegal leveled the score after a breakaway run from Emma Miller. University of Delaware signee Chloe Blantz scored her first of 4 goals on the day as time expired in the first quarter.

Rowan Kimmel put the first point on the board in the second quarter after her shot deflected off a Donegal defender. Donegal defender Victoria Burton was handed a card after shoving a Pioneer attacker to the ground. Chloe Blantz added another goal to her tally on a penalty stroke after a foul by the Indians. The score at the end of the first half was Pioneers 4, Indians 1.

The Pioneers used the 3rd quarter to pull away from the Indians. A strike from Tori Heiserman put L-S up by 4, then Chloe Blantz scored a pair of goals to put the Pioneers up by 5. Donegal's Makayla Ober also scored a goal in the quarter.

The 4th quarter was mainly uneventful, as both sides took advantage of the scoreline and gave the substitutes some playing time. The final score was L-S 7, Donegal 2. The Pioneers will head to Ephrata Monday night to take on the Mountaineers, while the Indians will also be in action on Monday at Elizabethtown. Best wishes to Donegal player Madison Leety, who left the game after being struck in the side of the head with a ball early in the second half.

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

A Harmonious Evening to Remember: The Lampeter-Strasburg District Chorus Concert

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
