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.

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 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 BELL HAS RUNG FOR 2011-2012

Labor day marks the unofficial end of summer and while this may bring a melancholy feeling to some, the energy has been restored to RLASH! On August 29, the senior high welcomed 1656 students through its doors and within minutes the halls were filled with students and teachers eager to begin a new year. The positive tone was set by the enthusiastic welcoming committee comprised of members from Red Lion's Student Council. Throughout the building, signs welcomed Lions back to a year that promises to be filled with a mix of honored traditions and some changes to better support our students.

One of the changes, or modifications, is to use the time set aside for faculty meetings to deliver concentrated professional development. This will require all members of the faculty to discern what needs to be discussed en mass and what info can be delivered through memos and emails. The time educators have to improve their teaching, thus improving learning, is precious and must be dedicated and preserved. To place importance on this limited time, a survey is currently being conducted to inventory the wants and needs of the faculty for professional development. The chosen selections will become the monthly themes to be supported within the departments and throughout the school. The goal is to create a systematic approach for the delivery of needed and requested professional development to assist everyone in achieving mastery of an instructional skill.

September's theme is connecting with students. Postive teacher-student relationships are the corner stone for learning and this topic will be explored through articles and dialogue. I look forward to highlighting many examples of a positive student foucsed learning environment.
