The Pioneers started the title game off with a 3-point barrage, jumping out to an 11-3 lead which turned into an 18-9 lead by the end of the first quarter. Berkeley Wagner was the star of the first half, scoring 13 points and leading the Pioneers to a 28-19 advantage at the break. 


Stud sophomore Ty Burton dominated the 3rd quarter, recording 12 points including three triples as the Pioneers extended their lead to 45-32. L-S would coast to a stress-free 56-38 win, starting off the season 2-0 and bringing home the tip-off trophy. 


Defense was the story of the night and the whole weekend for the victors. In both games, the Pioneers held their opponents to just 38 points. Following the game, Pioneer skipper Ed Berryman stated, “We know we can put the ball in the basket. If we can keep teams to under 40 points, we’ve got a good chance of winning most games.” 


Burton would stick with a similar theme. “I feel like it really started with the intensity on defense, rebounding, you know Berkeley (Wagner) basically holding that guy (Karron Mallory) to two points in the second half,”. 


Wagner and Isaiah Parido were named to the all-tournament team. Burton was named the MVP, scoring a combined 47 points over the two games. The Pioneers will host Manheim Central on Thursday in what could be one of the biggest games of the season for both teams. They’ll then take a short trip to Quarryville on Friday to knock horns with the Golden Mules.

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

Rumble Fish Book Review

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
