BOWLING AND VOLLEYBALL IS SMOOTHLY ROLLING ALONG WITH CLASS GAMES AND FIELD TRIPS (in bowling) GOING WELL. THE 7TH GRADE WENT TO THE BOLINGBROOK LANES TODAY AND DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB, WITH THE 8TH GRADE ATTENDING TOMORROW.
CONGRATULATIONS TO BOTH BOYS AND GIRLS 7TH GRADE BASKETBALL. EVEN THOUGH THEIR RECORD STANDS AT 1-2, IT IS APPARENT FROM WATCHING COACH LITTLE'S TEAM THAT THEY ARE MAKING HUGE AMOUNTS OF IMPROVEMENT!!!
THE JUNIOR VARSITY STANDS UNDEFEATED AS OF THIS WRITING (NOV. 20), HAVING SCORED A HUGE VICTORY YESTERDAY OVER OLD QUARRY.......AT OLD QUARRY. WAY TO GO COACH DVORAK AND THE JV SPARTANS!!!!
VARSITY BASKETBALL TRYOUTS WILL BE HELD TUESDAY; DECEMBER 2nd; LAKEVIEW OLD GYM; 3 PM - 5 PM; ALL PLAYERS TRYING OUT MUST HAVE AN UP-TO-DATE PHYSICAL!!!!!!
As a final note, I would like to send out a personal congratulations to some Lakeview / Downers Grove South alumni who are finishing the 2008 football seasons shortly. ANDREW SCHULZE (DGS '06) is the starting long and short snapper for the Iowa Hawkeyes, and made the snap for the winning field goal (#65 in the middle of your TV screen) vs. Penn State on November 8th. Penn State came into the game undefeated and ranked 3rd in the B.C.S. at the time.
ZACK BELL (LV..'04; DGS..'08) plays his final regular season game for the United States Air Force Academy (#94) this Saturday vs. T.C.U. (Cable TV ---- Versus; Channel 75; 1:30 PM, C.S.T.) in Ft. Worth. The Falcons enter the game with a 8-3 record, and are headed to a post-season bowl game sometime late in December!
My final recognition goes to SAMUEL CARSON III; starting linebacker at the University of Illinois. Samuel attended Center Cass, entering as a bright-eyed, energetic young man in the Fall of 1991. Attending all the District 66 schools, graduating from Lakeview in 2000, D.G.S. '04, the University of Illinois in '08, and will receive his post graduate degree later next January. Samuel participated in all sports as he progressed through our schools, and has been a credit to his schools over the years. A congratulations goes out as well to his parents, Sam and Gwendolyn.
Have a great week, and........PLAY HARD!!!!

SO MUCH FOR SUMMER WEATHER IN NOVEMBER!!!!!
HELLO SPARTANS!!!
What happened to the nice "Summer Weather" we had briefly last week?????
70's one day to 40's now! I was hoping our P.E. classes would be able to get outside one more week before we were in for the winter, but...........................guess not!!!!
Our P.E classes got off to a great start in volleyball and bowling (with the 6th graders also starting weight training). After days of review, fundamentals, and lead-up games, our classes will be starting actual bowling games later in this week.
As well, our 7th and 8th graders (sorry...6th graders have to wait till next year) are eagerly looking forward to the grade level field trips to the bowling alley later this month! Students in past years have had an outstanding time during their respective trips. I must also say the bowling alley always does a "nice" food business from our hungry students. The student cost for the bowling part of the trip is covered by the student activity fund which is part of the registration fee at the start of the year.
A "Good Luck" goes out to our junior varsity basketball teams as they start their respective seasons tomorrow (Monday; November 10th). Coach Dvorak (Boys) and Coach Little (Girls) have been hard at work with their respective squads.
Have a GREAT WEEK, and ..................."PLAY HARD"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
