Pioneers Cruise Past Indians on Senior Night

By -

 

On Monday night, the Lady Pioneers hosted the Donegal Indians. The Indians were winless going into the game with a record of 0-11. The Pioneers were looking to secure a spot in next week's District III playoffs, as they were seeded 13th going into the game. It was also senior night in West Lampeter, as all the Pioneer seniors were honored before the game.

The Indians jumped out to an early lead but didn't hold it for long. Hailey Leaman knocked down shots from downtown on back-to-back possessions, followed up by another three-pointer from Megan Manion. The Pioneers continued to roll from there, forcing turnovers defensively and cashing in on easy shots at the other end. At the end of the quarter, the Pioneers led by a score of 23-12. 

The Pioneers' momentum carried into the second quarter. The Indians couldn't seem to take the lid off of the basket, while the Pioneers drained seemingly every shot and were constantly expanding the lead. Going into halftime, the Pioneers were up 37-17. Emma Drouillard was the first half's leading scorer, going into the break with 13 points.

The third quarter was very fast-paced, with both teams pushing the ball up the court and scoring quickly. The Pioneers led 53-30 going into the fourth quarter and won the game by a score of 67-34. Emma Drouillard finished with 21 points, leading the game in scoring. 

THREE STARS:

Emma Drouillard: Quite the senior night for Drouillard, who finished with a season-high 21 points. She did it efficiently, shooting 50% from the field. 

Maggie Visniski: It was a very solid night for Visniski, who filled the stat sheet with 9 points, 10 rebounds, 3 steals, and 3 assists. She is now averaging 9 rebounds per game on the season. 

Katie Ranck: The Pioneer frontcourt was firing on all cylinders tonight, with Ranck and Visniski proving to be too much for the Indians to handle inside the paint. Ranck contributed 13 points and 4 rebounds, shooting 50% from the field and also knocking down 2 three-pointers. 

Honorable Mentions: Hailey Leaman, Madeline Gohn, Megan Manion.

STAT LEADERS:

Points: Emma Drouillard, 21
Rebounds: Maggie Visniski, 10
Assists: Jenna Daveler/Kiersten Hostetter/Megan Manion, 4
Steals: Jenna Daveler, 4
Blocks: 5 Players Tied, 1
Turnovers: Reagan Cook, 7


The Indians won't have to wait long for their next contest, as they host the Garden Spot Spartans tomorrow night. Ditto for the Pioneers, who head to Robesonia Tuesday night for a regular-season finale against the Conrad Weiser Scouts.

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

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
