Survive & Advance for #2 Ephrata (16-5) as they hold-off #10 Mechanicsburg’s upset bid in the 6A Quarters! It was the typical “Mounts Kind of Win”… Great pitching, Great base running, Win the game 2-1 on a balk! Mounts Senior pitcher Camryn Simes threw another gem (W=6.2 IP, 12 K, 3 H, 1 ER) & passed the 300 Career Strikeout Milestone! Sr. Chase Prange scored both runs for Ephrata & got the Final strikeout in relief to seal the Win!

🔹Next Up: 6A Semifinals — #11 Muhlenberg vs. #2 Ephrata (Thursday, May 21 at War Memorial Field)

▪️Ephrata also qualifies for the PIAA State ⚾️ Tournament for the 4th time in 5 years!

Tom Izzo shares an uncomfortable truth about earning your spot.

"You play real good, you start. You don't play as good, you work your way back in."

"That's the American way - except America has gotten soft."

You don't get what you want in life - you get what you earn.

It starts with showing up and earning it every single day.

No shortcuts...Just hard work.

Charles Barkley on coaches that coach their guys hard

“Parents & friends get mad because you're getting yelled at, get better parents & better friends."

[Dan Zaksheske @RealDanZak]

Incredible take from Charles Barkley on Tom Izzo:

"The media, who don't know anything about sports, say 'Why is he yelling his players?' That's called coaching... if parents & friends get mad because you're getting yelled at, get better parents & better friends."

It’s hard to take care of kids when we’re not taking care of the adults taking care of the kids. Recognize. Acknowledge. Extend. On repeat. #LeadFromWhoYouAre

[Brian Tolentino M.Ed @TolentinoTeach]

Somehow, we’ve forgotten a simple truth: the best learning happens in silence.

You can’t read and talk at the same time.

You can’t think clearly with constant distractions.

Every classroom should nurture silence as a habit, not an exception.

[Brian Tolentino M.Ed @TolentinoTeach]

If you haven’t taught in a classroom post-Covid, you don’t know what it is like to teach the modern student.

The students have changed.

Teaching has changed.

You have to be in the classroom daily to understand what I mean.

@CoachCG6 Impressive Season!!

This teacher-turned-cognitive scientist shared a disturbing reality that left the room stunned.

“Our kids are LESS cognitively capable than we were at their age.”

Every previous generation outperformed its parents since we began recording in the late 1800s.

So, what happened?

Screens.

Dr. Jared Horvath explained:

“Gen Z is the first generation in modern history to underperform us on basically every cognitive measure we have, from basic attention to memory, to literacy, to numeracy, to executive functioning, to EVEN GENERAL IQ, even though they go to more school than we did.”

“So why? … The answer appears to be the tools we are using within schools to drive that learning (screens).”

“If you look at the data, once countries adopt digital technology widely in schools, performance goes down significantly, to the point where kids who use computers about five hours per day in school for learning purposes will score over two-thirds of a standard deviation LESS than kids who rarely or never touch tech at school. And that’s across 80 countries.”

But screens aren’t just decimating learning and making new generations less intelligent than the ones before them.

They’re doing something far worse. And when you take a closer look, it isn’t pretty. 🧵
