Dayspring Hoops Star Surpasses Milestone BY GEORGE DEIBEL
N
oah Huxta isn’t preoccupied with seeking plaudits for all the points he has scored. He’s more concerned with praising the people who have provided assists. Noah, a 6-2 junior guard at Dayspring Christian Academy in Mountville, reached the 1,000-point mark for his career with a fastbreak layup in the third quarter of a game at Harrisburg Christian on Jan. 6. “It meant a lot to be able to have a spot in the Dayspring leaderboard,” he said. “It was something that I was thinking about for a while, and that hopefully one day I would reach that point. I’m just happy to be here and reach it.” Noah is the fourth Dayspring boys’ basketball player to attain the milestone, joining Matthew Hefflefinger (Class of 2012), 1,444 points; Isaiah Gregory (Class of 2010), 1,058 points; and Timothy Habel (Class of 2000), 1,002 points.

Flexible and multifaceted, eggs make incredible souffles and terrific omelets. Nutritious and delicious, eggs make savory quiches and magnificent custards. Eggs also make the perfect donations. “They’re the most versatile protein out there,” said Wade Smith, Sauder’s Eggs’ chief operations officer. “Eggs are used in everything you can think of. You can have eggs for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There are a million ways to prepare eggs. They are one of the most cost-effective ways to get protein in diets. They have no sugars, and they’re low in fat.” Dur ing the first week of November, Sauder’s Eggs, which is headquartered at 570 Furnace Hills Pike, Lititz, donated 23,400 dozen or 280,800 large white eggs to Blessings of Hope of Lancaster, Lancaster Food Hub and Lebanon County Christian Ministries, all of which operate far-reaching food banks. “It was the Sauders themselves deciding to help people who were going to be in need,” said Smith, adding that the Sauders recognized an immediate need. “We had access to eggs, and we thought we could help now. We wanted to get food in people’s hands immediately. It was important that we feed local people.” “We reached out to Lancaster Food Hub, Lebanon County Christian Ministries, and the rest went to Blessings of Hope,” said See Eggs pg 2
