Boys Soccer: Late Goal Propels Pioneers Over Bears

By -

On Monday night, the Lampeter-Strasburg Pioneers and the Elizabethtown Bears fought through the elements under the lights at Shultz Transportation Field. The Pioneers won the first meeting between the two teams by a score of 4-3 on September 28th. 

Ryker Holsinger controls the ball in the match vs. McCaskey (Logan Thompson)

Just five minutes into the game, a beautiful shot from Elizabethtown's David Fry put the Bears up 1-0. The Pioneers then took control of the game, knocking on the door many times until Landon Rice rolled one into the net, equalizing the score at 1 with about 8 and a half minutes remaining in the first half. The assist on the goal went to Ryker Holsinger. 

The Bears were carded twice in the second half, both yellows. One card was given to Wyatt Rachael, and the other was given to Luke Brumm. The latter led to a penalty that was not converted after a shot by Landon Rice was saved by Elizabethtown goalkeeper Donny Henriques. Henriques finished the night with six saves. The Pioneers took the lead after a pass by Luke Kelly turned into a goal at the foot of Derrick May. Despite a couple good chances to convert, the Bears were unable to find an equalizer, and the score stayed at 2-1 in favor of the Pioneers. 

STATS:

(TOTAL SHOTS - SHOTS ON GOAL):
Lampeter Strasburg (15-8)
Elizabethtown (2-1)

The Pioneers are now 6-1-1 on the season and are still in the mix for the Section 2 title. They will be back in action Wednesday night in Ephrata against the Mountaineers. The Bears are now on a five-game losing streak, a streak they will attempt to break Wednesday against the Garden Spot Spartans.

Advice: How to get straight As

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

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
