Field Hockey: Pioneers Shutout Barons on Senior Night

By -
On a very windy Wednesday night at JK Mechanical Stadium, the Pioneer field hockey team took on the Manheim Central Barons. As part of Senior Night festivities, Chloe Blantz, Daisy Frank, Ema Hollinger, Elizabeth Horner, Kiley Turner, and the Baron Seniors were honored before the game. In their first meeting this season on September 24th, the Pioneers won 5-0 on Manheim's turf.


The Pioneers controlled possession throughout a mostly uneventful first half. The only highlight of the first half was a Chloe Blantz goal in the second quarter. Brooke Zuber and the Pioneer defense was great throughout the first half, denying the Barons opportunities to put points on the board.
In the third quarter, Daisy Frank converted a penalty after Chloe Blantz drew a foul. In the fourth quarter, the Pioneers extended the lead to four. The first goal was scored by Elizabeth Horner shortly after a corner. The second goal was scored by Daisy Frank with about five minutes remaining in the game. The final score of the game was Lampeter-Strasburg 4, Manheim Central 0.

The Pioneers move to a record of 6-1 and remain in a tight race for the Section 2 crown. Their opposition for the title are the Ephrata Mountaineers, who the Pioneers will take on Friday afternoon. Last month, the Mountaineers handed the Pioneers their only loss so far this season. The Barons fall to 2-5 and have a meeting with the Cocalico Eagles at home on Friday.

Rumble Fish Book Review

By -

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

Advice: How to get straight As

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
