... I treasure every relationship I’ve made over the years and do not regret one candle I burned at both ends over the 26-1/2 years my full time job at Armstrong Industries overlapped my LNP adventure.
Until such a time when we meet again
- 30 -
it is with profound sadness we learned of the passing, overnight, of coaching legend Neil Turner, father of CV coach Trent Turner, a great coach and a better man.

Long ago (longer than I care to admit) after an LS game I approached who I thought was the football student manager.
“Can you point me to coach Manion?” I asked.
“I am coach Manion.”
As Bogie said, the start of a beautiful friendship.
Best wishes!

Just saw Gene Hale passed away Friday, at 79. He coached wrestling at Garden Spot for over 30 years, softball and inaugurated Spartan football. A member of multiple Halls of Fame, Gene was a character and a man of character who will be missed.

It will be bitterly cold outside, but the action will be hot inside L-S’s gym Monday night as the Pioneers host Manheim Central in a winner-take-all Sect. 2 wrestling showdown.

From December 1979, when Bill Fisher ran my wrestling preview in the Sunday News, this has been an epic, unexpected opportunity to flex ‘muscles’ I didn’t know I had ...
So, the L-L’s last 2 softball teams standing were ousted by the eventual 6A & 5A state champs.
Doesn’t make it sting any less, but something for
@Softball_LS
and
@pmcometssports
to hang their hat on.
Proud to have chronicled your seasons.
Gunner forced to injury default, ending his tournament. Tough way to go out but had an incredible postseason run and an outstanding career as a Spartan.
After some administrative responsibilities, your final score in the Dist. 3 5A championship: Lampeter-Strasburg 5, Twin Valley 1.

As they say in the BRC-11 neck of the woods, “What the hang is going on here?!?!?!”
Sorry to hear this. You guys did a super, and apparently unappreciated, job. You’ll be missed!
We've got some sad news to pass along to all our Twitter followers! Today was News 11's final newscast here at BRC11! It has been an absolute pleasure covering local sports in Northern Lancaster County! 😀👍 Good luck to all our teams in Districts & States! We WILL see ya around!
Funny sidebar note Gabby Drumm’s homer in the state softball championship ... A fan was walking the outside perimeter of Beard Field when the ball left the yard, hitting him on the head. Reportedly, he was fine.

We are saddened by the passing of longtime Spartan, Frank Herceg. Frank served in countless roles within the Athletic Department. We are extremely thankful for all of his contributions to our athletic programs over his 50+ years of service.
