PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Our 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Physical Education classes have finished their 2nd timester units on weight training and basketball, and are now moving on to pickleball, table tennis, and wiffleball (6th grade). As we go deeper into these units, singles and doubles tournaments will take place in our respective P.E. periods.
VARSITY BASKETBALL
Congratulations to our Boys Varsity basketball team following the conclusion of their season last night. Even though their record may not have been what they would have liked, individual improvement was evident with all members of our team. Following a 6-9 conference season, the Spartans defeated Butler 41 - 20 in the first round of the playoffs. Unfortunately the season came to an end with a disappointing defeat at the hands of Eisenhower. With Lakeview sporting a 15-9 halftime lead, the Generals defensive pressure and inside strength forced numerous turnovers leading to a 46-38 Eisenhower victory.
I am very proud of every member of our squad, and know that with off-season hard work, every member of our squad will participate in some type of sport next year in high school. My personal best wishes and good luck go out to all members of this years' team.
On another basketball avenue, congratulations should also go out to Mr. Little and Mr. Kukulski on the outstanding conference season their squad recently concluded. Many big wins and a 4th place regular season finish demonstrates what hard work their ladies put forth.
As a final note, I would like to say "Thanks" to the many people who helped make both our squads very successful. At the top of the list is Dr. Tiede, Mr. Windsor, and Mrs. Liles for their administrative support of our program; our AD Mr. Dvorak; transportation coordinator Mrs. Mazurek; Pete, Jim, Rob and Mike from our custodial staff; game officials Mrs. Bretl, Mrs. Wilson, and Mrs. Wrzesinski; our Boys managers Brett A., Povilas G., Kevin R., and Krissy D.;.............AND most importantly our great parent fans who followed us the entire season!!!
Enjoy your Spring seasons, and always remember to "PLAY HARD"!!
Coach Dodd
