L-S smokes Cocalico in 6-0 shutout

By -
On a brisk Thursday evening, L-S took the field at Cocalico High School. L-S took the field with a strong determination continued from Tuesday night’s game. 

Alex Knarr had an early shot 13 minutes into the game. The first L-S goal was scored by Jordan Bishop with a beautiful shot five minutes after Knarr’s attempt on goal. The half continued with a steady push towards Cocalico’s goal, with L-S dominating possession of the ball. 

Derek Eckman made a shot 25 minutes in, taking another shot a minute after and scoring. Nate Patterson followed Eckman’s goal with another quick shot in an attempt to bring the score to 3-0 L-S before the half ended. The first half was mostly clean, with the exception of one yellow card given to a Cocalico player. The Cocalico spectators were not happy with the referee, however, as the game progressed into the second half.

As the second half began, it was clear that Cocalico had not given up. Nevertheless, L-S rose to the challenge. Alex Knarr scored the third L-S goal in the first two minutes of the second half, followed quickly by Peyton Denlinger with the fourth goal for L-S three minutes after, with a beautiful assist by Matt O’Neil.  

Working solidly as a team, L-S moved the ball consistently towards Cocalico’s net. Denlinger made two more shots 14 minutes into the second half. Dominating the field, L-S got off 2 more shots, one by Derek Eckman and one by Jordan Sweigart, before scoring again. 

Matt O’Neil made a beautiful shot into the back of the net after a cross from Steven Hollern at the 30 minute mark. Although L-S already had a solid lead, they continued to play hard. Ethan Bare took a shot on goal with 5 minutes left in the half. 

Soon after, Logan Heister scored the final goal for L-S. L-S takes home the victory with a shutout. L-S: 6. Cocalico: 0.

Rumble Fish Book Review

By -

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

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: Read the story of 14-year-old 'Tex' an aimless, trouble-prone youth

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
