Total annihilation: A 22-1 victory for the boys lacrosse team over Cocalico

By -
Monday's game started -- and ended -- much like an average game for the Lampeter-Strasburg boys lacrosse team. The boys notched another impressive win against Cocalico, 22-1. Trevor King and Nate Patterson ripped through Cocalico’s defense. King scored three, two assisted by Nate Patterson, who scored two of his own. Jake Groff also notched a goal for L-S midway through the first quarter. 

L-S was in the lead by five when the second quarter stared; the score 6-1. Nate Patterson continued strongly for L-S assisting Teddy Mazaheri and King. Patterson himself scored before the end of the half assisted by Mazaheri.

"I think that all around it was a great team win," says Patterson, reflecting on the win, "from Marco in the cage, to attack putting it in the net."

Then, in the second half, the Patterson brothers did their thing when they scored the tenth goal for L-S. Alex Knarr and Nate Patterson scored two each later in the quarter, while Darren Metz, Mazaheri, and Tyler Zameroski each scored one.

The fourth quarter nailed shut the lid on Cocalico’s game with more than a few goals by L-S. King and Metz each scored again for the team. Shane Lawler, Evan Portrey, and Patrick McClain also scored bringing the score to a startling 22-1. In the words of Trevor King, "The team played their hearts out."

Goalie Marco Peticca encapsulated the team's reaction, saying, "I thought the team played really well today. Every single player did what they were supposed to. I left an easy one in early on, but the offense kept pumping them in, and I’m thankful for that."

L-S beat Cocalico 22-1. 

The team would like to encourage all that are able to come to Comet Field (at Penn Manor) to watch the annual Whitey game (a tribute to former L-S lacrosse player Ryan Weitzel, who lost his battle with cancer several years ago) on Thursday!

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

A Harmonious Evening to Remember: The Lampeter-Strasburg District Chorus Concert

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
