Pioneers Get Back on Track, Shutout Penn Manor

Full attendance, intense student sections, and the bands bringing the energy. Welcome back to Friday nights in West Lampeter. After a season-opening loss to a very good Warwick team, the Pioneers were back in action against the Penn Manor Comets. The Comets opened their season with a surprising win over local rivals Conestoga Valley.   After a first quarter of batted-down passes and failed third-down conversions, the Pioneers needed some creativity to get the offense moving. QB Berkeley Wagner handed it off to wideout Hunter Hildenbrand on what was a seemingly innocent jet sweep play call, until Hildenbrand set his feet and chucked the ball 40 yards downfield to Dante Gilot, coming just short of the endzone. Jonathan Mellinger would punch it in on the next play.  It was full steam ahead from there, with the Pioneer ground-attack accounting for 3 more TDs over the course of the game. Andrew Reidenbaugh added 3 points on a late field goal, and the defense held strong for their first shut

  Friday August 27th. The start of the high school football season. Not really. After numerous lightning delays, the players were supposed to be allowed on the field for warmups at 8pm. Around 7:55, another lightning bolt struck the ground, causing Warwick's athletic director to throw his hands up in frustration. The game was pushed back to Saturday.  Take two.  High school football is back. In this rendition of Saturday night lights, the back-to-back reigning District III 4-A champion Pioneers facing off against the Warwick Warriors, who went undefeated last season prior to forfeiting the 5-A title game due to a COVID-19 outbreak. The last time these sides faced off was all the way back in 2005, with the Pioneers winning by a score of 34-7.  After a slow start by both teams, the Warriors struck first, passing their way down the field until Christian Royer punched it in from the goal line to give Warwick a 7-0 lead. The Pioneers responded with a long drive of their own, only to end

Field Hockey: Pioneers Battle Comets in Overtime Thriller

On Friday morning, the Pioneer field hockey team opened their season for a non-section matchup against the Penn Manor Comets.  The Pioneers and the Comets have history, as the Comets defeated the Pioneers in last year's league championship game. It's a new era for the Comets, as long-time head coach Matt Soto stepped down at the end of last season.  The Pioneers struck first, with Tori Heiserman finding the goal off a fine pass from Emaly Garrett. The rest of the first half was mainly uneventful, with both teams having chances but failing to convert on them.  After being under pressure for almost the entirety of the beginning of the half, the Pioneer defense finally relented towards the end of the third quarter. After three corners, Grace Gerner finally equalized the score from short range. The Comets had a chance to win it with just a few minutes left, but the shot hit the frame of the goal and harmlessly bounced away.  Each team had their chance to win it in sudden-death over
