Ammon and Idra A short story written by Aliza Howe "Your lungs are failing, Ammon. You require medical care." "Yes, yes, I understand. You've told me this four times today, Idra." Ammon Crux waved a dismissive hand toward the offending computer screen, even though he knew that he could not keep it from talking. But that did not keep him from trying to shut it up. A knock sounded at the door behind him, and he stiffened, straightening up in his chair, not turning away from the window or his desk. He closed his eyes and drew in a deep breath, clenching his jaw tight until it twitched. His heavy exhale dissolved quickly into a coughing fit, and he curled in over his desk again, covering his mouth with his arm as his body tried unsuccessfully to expel whatever muck it had decided to hold hostage.

By half time, the Pioneers had a 45 - 29 lead. But the game was not over, Donegal got some energy but the Pioneers held them and at the end of the third quarter it was 61-45. The Indians kept fighting though and brought it to only an 11 point lead but could not get it any closer before time ran out. Emma Drouillard bucketed 34 points for the Pioneers. Which is a career-high for her and she was also named the big scorer of the night. On Wednesday, the Pioneers faced the Octarara Braves. They took the lead and never looked back after the first few minutes. By the end of the first quarter, the Pioneers had a 23-4 lead and onl

Behind him was Benjamin Wert with thirteen points on the board for the Pioneers. The game started with Lampeter-Strasburg winning the tip and putting 3 points on the board right away. There were many fouls in the first quarter and also a lot of turnovers as Donegal tried to find their footing at LS. The first quarter finished with LS up 17-7.

After a total of 12 fouls from both teams, L-S went into halftime feeling confident with a lead of 8, 21-13. Donegal had possession to start the second half of the home opener.

In My Own Words: One Last Time - Final marching band performance of 2019

In My Own Words In this installment of  In My Own Words ,   Kira Fritz recalls her experience at the final marching band performance of 2019. Today, I want to tell you about our last marching band performance of the 2019 Marching band. That day was filled will so many emotions but, let's start at the beginning. It all started when we had all reported in the band room around 11 am to get our uniforms on and to be able to do a run-through before getting on the buses to McCaskey for the LMBC coalition, which is where our last performance took place. When we got there, we had got off the buses and went straight to the field to practice the song for the mass band performance that every marching band that had come to participate in the coalition gets to perform a song all together.  We were all practicing there for about an hour and a half. Then we got to take our instruments back in their cases and go eat Issac's sandwiches that the coalition had provided all of
