Girls basketball falls to Northern Lebanon

By -
Nevin Hoenninger scored 11 points for L-S
This evening, the Lady Pioneers faced the Northern Lebanon Vikings in what was predicted to be a contested league matchup. L-S entered the game with a league record of 8-5, compared to Northern Lebanon traveling to Lampeter with a league record of 12-1. The team members were unsure how the game would unfold, given that Northern Lebanon had been defeated by Lancaster Catholic by a mere four points, while L-S had fallen to the same opponent by forty earlier in the season (albeit without leading scorer Nevin Hoenninger).

Northern Lebanon showed strength in the beginning of the game, scoring 16 points in the first quarter, compared to L-S's 3. The second quarter proved to be similar, with the Vikings putting up 17 points, and L-S scoring 8. Sophomore Laura Horner led the Lady Pioneers in total points for the game at 15, with junior Hoenninger scoring the second-most at 11. With the efforts of Horner and Hoenninger, the Lady Pioneers rallied in the second half of the game, scoring 11 points in the third quarter and 10 points in the fourth quarter, but Northern Lebanon had built a strong lead in the first half that made it challenging to overcome. 

 After the game, senior Rachel Shortes commented, "We knew that they were an aggressive team, but throughout the game we tried our best to defend them, regardless of the score." 

 The second half narrowed the margin between the competing teams, but the Lady Pioneers ultimately fell to the Vikings with a final score of 56-32.

With a record of 11-9 and a league 8-6, L-S will travel to Donegal tomorrow to compete in another league matchup.

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

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

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
