Pioneers Steamroll Barons, Win Section Opener

By -

On Thursday night, the Boys Basketball team hosted the Manheim Central Barons in the Section 3 opener. The game was crucial for the Pioneers, as the Barons are likely their biggest threat in the section title race. 



The Pioneers started the game on fire, going up 9-2. However, the Barons came rumbling back and decreased the Pioneer lead to 12-10 by the end of the first quarter. 



Towards the end of the 1st half, the shots started to fall and the Pioneers never looked back. In a game that looked much closer for the first 10 minutes, the Pioneers steamrolled to a 70-47. “I think it (the run) was more everything coming together”, said Coach Berryman.



Ty Burton paced the Pioneers on the offensive end, scoring 25 points. Most of those points came during the second half. Luka Vranich had a very strong all-around effort, tallying 11 points and adding 7 rebounds and 5 assists as well. 


The strong Pioneer defense, led by Luka Vranich, held Baron star Trey Grube to just 12 points (10 of which were from the free-throw line). They’re now averaging just 41 points allowed per game while scoring an average of 62.7 per game. 



Next up for the Pioneers is a short trip down to Quarryville for another sectional matchup with the Golden Mules. They’ll look to move to 4-0 on the young season.

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

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
