Mazaheri, Patterson power offensive explosion that leads L-S lacrosse to 16-10 win

By -
Thursday marked the L-S boys lacrosse team's first home game, and they started the season on a high note, defeating Red Lion 16-10 on the home turf.
It did not have an auspicious start, though.
A timeout calmed the team and allowed them to execute
their offense
Less than two minutes into the game, Red Lion attacked straight through the L-S defense and scored to take a 1-0 lead. From there, the Pioneers buckled down; sophomore goalie Dylan Sindorf notched some impressive saves, but the team could not find any offense until coach Marty Mullen called a timeout.
Almost immediately thereafter, Tyler Zameroski scored off an assist by Teddy Mazaheri and subsequently Trevor King scored off an assist from Nate Patterson. Then, Alex Knarr took a pass from freshman Noah Paterson and scored the Pioneers' third goal. At the end of the quarter, L-S led 4-2.
Nate Patterson notched another assist to start the second quarter, this time helping Patrick McClain find the net. Red Lion immediately retaliated and had another opportunity after an L-S foul, but Sindorf stayed strong in goal. Eventually, however, the Lions were able to tie the game at five by halftime.

The Pioneers began to pull away to start the second half. Patterson, Mazaheri, and Knarr scored early in the quarter to begin to open a lead. McClain checked in at goalie, and continued the team's strong streak, making several beautiful saves. At the end of the third quarter, the Pioneers led 9-7.

McClain's prowess continued to shine early in the fourth quarter, although Red Lion did force another shot in to cut the deficit to one. From there, the L-S offense exploded with goals from Zameroski, Mazaheri (four more), Knarr, and Patterson. McClain wrapped up the victory with a great save, and the Pioneers won by six.

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
