The Voice of the Lions says:

The Red Lion golf team earned 4th place in Division 1 with a 13-17 record this season.

Three players placed within the top 15 averages for Div. 1:

Junior Brandon Stine was 2nd with a 78.3 avg.; Senior Mike Thomas was 9th with an 82.2 avg.; and Sophomore James Caskey placed 14th with an 84.2 avg.

All three players participated in the York County Divisions 1,2, & 3 Qualifier.

Brandon Stine advanced to the District 3 Tournament Finals with a two round total of 151 and placed 24th in District 3, but missed the Regional Qualifying Tournament by 1 stroke.

Congratulation to all our golfers and to coaches McCleary and Dimoff for their hard work this season.

The Voice of the Lions says:

The boys soccer team has finished a successful 2011 season. The JV team finished with a 9-5 record. The varsity team finished 7-5 in Division I and 8-7 overall. The team finished tied for 3rd in Div 1and missed the county playoffs on a tiebreaker. In District 3 AAA, the team finished 26 out of 46 in the power rankings, a mere 6 spots from making the District playoffs. The Lions played a tough schedule including 6 games against teams that finished in the top 20 in AAA power rankings.

Congratulations to coach Resh and the boys soccer team for a successful season.

Let's get caught up on our Lion Football team over the past 3 weeks.

On Sept. 30th the Lions traveled to New Oxford and dominated the Colonials football team winning 35-14 in a non-league contest. The win improved The Lion's record to 3 - 2 on the season.

On October 7th the Lions returned to Horn Field to host York High. The Lion's scored a good 31-14 victory over the William Penn Bearcats.

On October 14th, the crowd at the league contest between the Red Lion Lions and the host Spring Grove Rockets, observed Red Lion's football squad bounce Spring Grove by a tally of 49-7.

This is the Lions 5th straight win.

The Lions put it on the line tonight (Oct. 21st) when they host South Western for a York-Adams Division I match of undefeated (in league play teams). This is Homecoming 2011 and the homecoming queen will be crowned in festivities just before the game starting at approximately 6:40pm with kickoff at 7:00pm. This could possibly be the first of 3 championship type games for the Lions as the winner of this game will certainly be in the drivers seat and control it's own destiny as they drive for a league title. The Lions will clash with a Mustangs squad coming off a 26-20 league win over Central York and the emotional turmoil of one of their teammates being murdered in a senseless act of violence just two weeks ago. Just like the Lions the Mustangs record now stands at 5-2.

Congratulations to Erick Althoff who last week broke the record for career punt return yards when he returned a punt 61 yards for a touchdown. He currently has 599, having passed Ed Kiser's mark set in 2005. The previous mark was Kiser's 516 yards.

Also, congratulations again to quarterback Tanner Klinefelter who set another Lions record by taking over the career passing attempts record previously held by Taylor Green at 418. Tanner now sits at 436 career passing attempts and counting.

The Voice of the Lions says:

Last night (Oct. 20th), Coach Carol Gillmen got to put championship medals around the necks of her players. Our varsity Field Hockey team won their second straight York County Tournament Championship. In last years first ever county title game the Lions beat Dallastown in overtime. the Lions brought home the title this year with a 3 - 0 victory over Biglerville.

Leading the way for the Lions was Taylor Garifo and Erica Maciejewski each with a goal and an assist. Morgan Kuehne scored a goal and Megan Easton had an assist also.

The Voice of the Lions says:

The girls Volleyball team ended their difficult season with a 25-18, 25-14, 25-14 loss to Southwestern. The girls finished the season 1 - 11 in the division and 1 - 12 overall.

We know that the girls and coach Musselman will work very hard in the off season to get Red Lion Volleyball back to its winning ways.

Good Luck to all our seniors as you pursue all your future endeavors.

The Voice of the Lions says:

The Cross Country teams both won Division I Championships this year. Congrats to all our cross country runners and great job Coach Stetter!

The boys were led by Matt Croft who took 4th place and ran a time of 17:04. Caleb Gatchell was 9th with a time of 17:19. Nick McCabe was 13th with a time of 17:34. Nice work guys!

Professional/Personal Learning Networks

            Have you ever searched online for ideas for your lesson plans?  Have you ever wondered how someone else teaches the same concepts you teach?  Have you ever wanted to run your ideas by someone else to get their thoughts or opinions?  Do you appreciate the time you are given to collaborate with your peers?  These are all great reasons to develop your own Professional/Personal Learning Network (PLN).  A PLN is a group of people who are connected who share a similar interest.  This group collaborates with each other with the hopes of achieving professional goals.

              As a staff, the teachers at Red Lion Area Senior High School comprise their own Professional Learning Network.  If a teacher wants to develop a larger PLN, here are a few steps they can take:

1.  Join an online group (ex. www.edweek.org, www.edutopia.org)

2.  Read some blogs (both of the above web sites have links to educational blogs)

3.  Join Twitter

            I started developing my own PLN this summer.  Some of the positive experiences that I have had with my PLN include:

-Sharing and receiving great resources to use at school

-Helping teachers get resources/lesson ideas

-Connecting with administrators and teachers all over the world

-A constant source of Professional Development

            I honestly believe that creating your own PLN would benefit you as an educator.  What about your students—think of the power of helping your students create their own PLN’s!  They could connect with other students and collaborate on school projects, assignments and even study for tests together.  They can connect with other students outside of the normal high school setting to share thoughts about what was covered in your class—this could challenge their thinking as well as reinforce what you are teaching.  The possibilities are truly endless.

            Hopefully, if you start your own PLN or you help your students create PLN’s, you will have some of the same positive experiences that I have had since this summer.  As always, if you need some help or encouragement developing your PLN, please let me know.

           

The Voice of the Lions says:

On Friday, Sept. 23rd the Lions hosted Kennard-Dale on our annual Hall of Fame Night. It was a busy night as Red Lion hosted not only its Hall of Fame ceremony, but also the Ronald Reagan Foundation Centennial Coin Toss and Congressman Todd Platts was there to flip the coin. Not only that, we also hosted WGAL-8's Football Friday in the commons area of the senior high school for a live broadcast after the game.

Once the game started it took the Lions a little bit to get going. Kennard-Dale scored first taking a 6 - 0 advantage, but that was pretty much all she wrote as the Lions ripped off 7 touchdowns over the course of the game and cruised to a 47 - 13 victory.

Scoring touchdowns for the Lions was Tanner Klinefelter who rushed for 2 and threw 1. Darrell Kendrick ran for 1. Jason Milton found the endzone on 3 of his carries. And Erik Althoff caught a touchdown pass.

Pete Pitilis was 5 of 7 on kicking extra points.

Erick Toscano recovered 3 fumbles for the Lions and Toscano was named the Apple Ford Player of the game for his defensive efforts.

The Voice of the Lions says:

On Sept. 27th the Boys Varsity Soccer team held their annual Senior Night activities prior to their game against Southwestern. Despite the rain, the teams battled to a 1 - 1 tie at the half. Scoring for the Lions in the first half was Nolan Deller. The teams then battled most of the second half and it appeared we might be headed to overtime, but Red Lion's Dan Jones had other ideas. With just minutes to play, Dan blasted a goal past the goal keeper and gave Red Lion the lead. Then just minutes later Austin Gibbons rocketed a goal to the net for a little insurance and the game was secured. The Lions won the game 3 - 1.

Other stats on the game included: Shots on goal RL-6 and SW-3. Saves Chris Meyer (SW) 4 and RL freshman Scott Rissler 2.

With this win the Lions improved their record to 4 - 1 in the league and currently sit in 3rd place.

The Soccer team's next match is Sept. 29th, 7:00pm at Central York. So come out to Central and support the soccer team. This is a big game for them since a win over Central would move them into a tie for second place in the division.

The Voice of the Lions says:

On Sept. 22nd the Lion golf team had their final match of the season with teams from Southwestern, Dallastown, Central York, Spring Grove, and New Oxford. The team finished 5th, beating out New Oxford, with a team score of 406.

Mike Thomas and Brandon Stine each shot 75's. James Caskey and Nick Young each had 87's. Mike Renga shot an 85 and Billy Fix had an 84.

The team finished its season with a 13 - 17 overall record.

The Voice of the Lions says:

Our Lady Lion Field Hockey team remained unbeaten with their 1 - 0 victory of arch rival and perennial powerhouse Dallastown.

The Lions seemed to be sparked by the play of Erica Maciejewski, or maybe the non-play, as Erica was forced to sit out after receiving a card from the official. The teams were battling along in a 0 to 0 tie when Maciejewski received her penalty. Then with 2:23 remaining the Lion's were awarded a penalty corner and Ali Posey broke the scoreless tie when she found the back of the net on a rocket of a smash to clinch a 1-0 York-Adams League Division I field hockey victory over Dallastown.

Teammate Gabi Uberti made eight saves in goal to record the shutout victory.

With the win, Red Lion remains perfect in the division at 6-0-0 with 18 points, while Dallastown falls to 4-3-0 with 12 points.

The Field Hockey team's next game is Sept. 29th at 7:00pm on Horn Field. This is Senior Night so please come out and support the ladies as they continue attempt at an undefeated season and march to the playoffs!

The Voice of the Lions says:

The girls volleyball team suffered another tough loss to the Kennard-Dale Rams dropping their record in the division to 0 - 5. The Lions lost the match 25-20, 25-13, 15-25, and 25-5.

For the Lions:
Hope Jamison dished out 13 assists and Rachel Folkenroth had 13 digs.

The team's next match is at home on Sept. 29th as the Lions host Spring Grove at 7:30pm.
