Why LHS Should Abandon Before School Practices
Brandon Simberg, Staff Writer
April 20, 2017
If you have ever played sports here at LHS, you probably know this feeling. Your alarm goes off at 5 a.m. -- after you ponder your entire existence -- you get up and get ready for that 5:45 practice.

As teenagers stuck in a small town, we long for adventure and excitement. However, lack of time, money and rides can prevent us from seeking it.

The bell rings, and everyone rushes to sit down before they’re marked tardy. Chatter dies as 50 minutes of instruction begins. Twenty minutes in, the looks of boredom set in on the faces of students. A hand reaches into the pocket and takes me out. Honestly, I’d take myself out too. This lectur...
