Bowlers beat Barons 4-3

By -
On a brisk Friday afternoon, soon after record-breaking snow, the L-S bowling team headed to Rocky Springs to take on Manheim Central.  Manheim Central came into the match with a 7-3 record, and an expected advantage. However, the Pioneers pulled out a remarkable, come-from-behind win.
From L: Brittany Hatfield, Cassidy Hatfield, Eric Gross, and Adam Lee
In the first game, the Barons started remarkably strong. Competitors Austin Bradley, Zach Kowalski, and Tanner Michael each broke 200 points in the first game, and totaled 701 of Central’s 1095 points. The Pioneers struggled as a team in the first game, scoring only 808 points total. In game one, seniors Adam Lee and Brittany Hatfield each scored 184, giving them a tie for the most points for L-S. Hatfield got her first of several turkeys late in the game. After a rough first game the score was 2-0 in favor of Manheim Central.

In game two, the Pioneers met the challenge that the Barons brought. Led by Adam Lee, the team rallied, picking up 23 strikes. Lee had his best game of the afternoon, scoring 215 including one turkey. Sophomore Cassidy Hatfield had her best game of the match, scoring 183. Brittany Hatfield scored 192, and senior Ethan Byers was close behind at 190. The Pioneers tied up the match, winning game two 949-915. The score now lay at 2-2.

The winner of the third game would ultimately determine the outcome of the match. Senior Eric Gross played a good game, scoring 203, and leading the Pioneers in points through game 3. Brittany Hatfield continued to play well, as she scored her best score of the match at 194. The team managed to hang onto an early lead in game three, and they finished the game with a satisfying win of 4-3.

Attention now turns to playoffs; the girls singles playoffs are on February 18 while the boys are on February 19. Stay with LSNews.org for updates on times, locations, and competitors.

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
