Wow!!!! Did New Year's to Spring Break get here in a hurry!! It seems like only yesterday that our Boys Varsity Basketball team was competing in the D.G. Mayor's Classic on Jan. 4th at DGN. I guess when an activity that takes as much time as basketball is successful, the days seem to flow quicker!!
As the basketball season for '08-'09 has come to a halt, I would like to say a final Thanks to everyone who made it a success. I was very proud to be the Spartans coach again this season. The awards night was a great opportunity to see all the members of our "family" together one final time! To that, I would like to say "Thank You" to all the players and parents for the very thoughtful gifts I received. The gift certificate will come in very handy, and the photo album will be cherished by my future generations!.........These were the '09 Spartans!!.....Tourney Champs!!!!
Good luck to all our students as they finish the final weeks of school (approx. 41 days....but who is counting???? !!!!!). Girls Softball (Miss Nyhlen), Girls Soccer (Mrs. Wilson), Boys Soccer (Mr. Little), Boys Volleyball (Mrs. Wagner), Boys/Girls Track and Field (Mrs. Ohlander and Mr. Kukulski), and Boys/Girls Swnmming Miss Enzbigilis are in the process of formulating their teams....Best of Luck to all!!!!!
In the Fine Arts area, the 2009 musical, "GUYS and DOLLS, Jr." under the direction of Miss Berman and Mr. Ohlsen will set out at Lakeview for performances on the nights of May 14 and 15!!!
Our P.E. classes are continuing with their units on Cornhole.."Bags", Pickleball, and Wiffleball in 6th grade. Our students seem to be enjoying thesee activities!!
On a final note, the winner of last week's (and final week) "Lunch-with-the Coach" contest is Kevin R. (for the third time this year). Kevin correctly answered......"Alex Gorniak, Malcolm Herron, Mike Cahill, and Seth Carson" for the question........WHAT FOUR FORMER LAKEVIEW ALUMS HELPED DOWNERS GROVE SOUTH ACHIEVE A GREAT BASKETBALL SEASON IN 2008-2009??
Have a great Spring Break, and...........................
GO SPARTANS.................PLAY HARD!!!!!

Coach Dodd
OH, ..........and just one more thing............................................
GAME OVER!!!!!!!!!!............SPARTANS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you really think I wasn't going to celebrate Friday night??????
As a culmination to a great season, the Lakeview Spartan Boys Varsity Basketball team defeated Cass Jr. High in the S.E.D.A.A. tournament championship game by the score of 34-32. The Spartans ended their season with an overall record of 17-7, 12-3 in the conference, and 3-0 in the post-season. Following early-week wins over Eisenhower and Westview Hills, the Spartans faced the Warriors for the second time this season. Having beaten Cass 43-42 on a last second shot by Robert M., the championship game looked to be a great one before it started. Cass came off two early-week wins, including a thriller by one over 12 and 3 Old Quarry.
After a first quarter that wound up tied at 8, the Spartans ran off 10 straight points on two baskets by Robert M., a three-pointer by Andrew J., and a basket/free throw by John B.. Cass' Jerry S. hit two jumpers to bring the Warriors back to trail only 18-12 at half-time. A back-and-forth third quarter was highlighted by Cass' (former 66er) D.J.D.'s jumper to put them ahead. The next possession saw Andrew J. answer with a three-pointer of his own, giving Lakeview the lead back. The Spartans' Jeff J. hit two key baskets down the same stretch, including a three-pointer from the left corner!!! At the end of three quarters, the score stood at Lakeview 26 and Cass 23.
As the fourth quarter unfolded, the Cass guards (Jerry S. and D.J.D.) battled to keep the Warriors even, only to have their Lakeview counter-parts answer the challenge. Cass hit three, three pointers during the final stanza, but were unable to penetrate the inside of the Lakeview defense. Jeff J., Alex P., Povilas G., and Robert M. refused to allow any layups or put-backs for easy points. Andrew J., John B., Alex P., and Jeff J. handled the Cass pressure in their attempt at take-aways.
During the final seconds, Cass had opportunities to regain the lead from the outside, including a long three-point attempt at the buzzer that rimmed off.
While preparing for the game, our philosophy was to not let their guards both get into the twenties for points. At the end, D.J.D. finished with 18, while Jerry S. had 10.
Final game stats for Lakeview:
POINTS --- John B. > 9....Jeff J. > 8....Robert M. and Andrew J. > 6 .....Povilas G. > 5
REBOUNDS -- Robert M. > 7 .....Alex P. > 5 .....Povilas G. > 3 ......Jeff J. > 4 .....
John B. > 3 .....Andrew J. > 2
As far as the Spartan' fans, what needs to be said!!!!!! During all the years of games played at Old Quarry, I can not remember the hosts having to open the upper deck for the crowd......until Friday night!!!! I would like to be able to say "Thanks" to each of our fans individually, but I know this can not be done.......................so....................I think I will try to mention some groups I believe were there. Let's start with the players' parents, grandparents and other relatives; Lakeview cheerleaders and their parents; the administration (Mr. and Mrs. Liles) and the fine arts dept. (Mr. Tedeschi and Mr. Ohlsen) who had front-row, center-court seats; Coach Dvorak and his family, as well as Miss Nyhlen; what appeared to be many of my first hour P.E. class (thanks to chauffeur Slayden); many of our varsity cheerleaders from LAST year; Coach and Mrs. Little (and "Little" Little), parents of our alumni who are currently at college, MANY, MANY of our current student body, and finally , "The Superfans" (lead by Patrick Lally) from Downers South, including Lakeview basketball alums Malcolm Herron, Seth Carson, Mike Cahill, and Alex Gorniak (on crutches). I think this great support of the Spartans got our guys going during crunch time!!! Oh, and one more......my wife Julie, who holds her breathe everytime she comes and watches me get wrapped up in the game!!!!!!
I have asked a lot of my club this season, and sometimes these things have been looked at with questions, and on a rare occasion mild resistance................but accepted as the way we were going to do things!!! I truly believe that this reached the players, and hopefully they understand now what it takes to be successful!! Everyone needs to be pulling in the same direction, and Friday night, we were!!!!!!! Our "bench players" (Vincent L., Joe N., Marty L., James I., Zak P., Jeff J., Steven K., Chris W., Kevin R., Tony L.) who did not see as much playing time as they would have liked were great teammates, and worked very hard in practice. This is not the easiest mind-set to be in, but they were great in their roles on the team!!!!!!
I hope to see all of the "Spartan Nation" at the awards dinner this coming Thursday night; March 19th at Lakeview!!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS to each and every one of the members of the program!!!
THE BAR HAS BEEN RAISED, AND THE BANNER WILL BE RAISED!!!!!!!!

I.S.A.T.'s ARE HISTORY !!!!!!
Hi to the "Spartan Nation"!!
Congratulations to all the students and staff for the outstanding effort during our ISAT's last week!! Even though we have "early dismissal" on Thursday, and NO SCHOOL on Friday, our daily schedule should be back to normal.
Our P.E. classes will continue their units that began last week in all three grade levels! 7th and 8th graders will be continuing PICKLEBALL, TABLE TENNIS and CORNHOLE! In addition, 6th graders will be working on WIFFLEBALL skills and games! All three grades have gotten off to good starts!
On the extra-curricular front, Varsity basketball heads into their final weeks with tournament games beginning Tuesday, March 10th. Coach Little, Coach K, and the GIRLS squad begin tourney play AT Old Quarry tipping off at 4 PM. The Lady Spartans enter the tourney seeded 5th (out of 11 teams). A win at Old Quarry on Tuesday would PROBABLY place them in the second round AT #1 seed Jefferson on Wednesday. The Girls played an outstanding game last Wednesday, taking Jefferson to overtime before finally falling by 2 points! A Lakeview win in both the first and second rounds would qualify them to play for the tournament championship on Friday night; March 13th in Lemont at OLD QUARRY (Old Quarry will be hosting the championship games). Tipoff is 6 PM. GOOD LUCK to our Girls squad!
On the BOYS side, the Spartans enter tourney play as the #1 seed, having finished the regular season with a record of 12-3 (tied with Old Quarry). Their 12-3 record placed them 2nd in the conference behind Jefferson (15-0). Jefferson elected to particiapete in the Illinois Elementary School Association state tournament, thus disqualifying them from playing in our S.E.D.E.A.A. tournament. As a side note, the Wolverines made it to the semi-finals in Peoria before falling to Pekin. My personal congratulations to Coach Troy Johnson and all the Wolverines!
BOYS tourney play begins Tuesday; March 10, as the Spartans HOST the winner of the Monday play-in game between Eisenhower (3-12) and Lisle (2-12). Tipoff for Tuesday's game at Lakeview is 4 PM. A win on Tuesday will move the Spartans into a second round game AT Lakeview on Wednesday (March 11) vs. the winner of the Tuesday game between Westview Hills (8-7) and Butler (7-7). A win Wednesday would move the Spartans into the conference championship game Friday night (March 13) in Lemont at Old Quarry. Tipoff or the BOYS championship is set for 7:30 PM.
The SPARTAN fan base has been outstanding all season!! I think I speak for Coach Little and Coach K when I say it is very uplifting to have a loud, supportive crowd pulling for the Spartans!! ALL members of both programs hope that Spartan "followers" continue their great support!!! To that, I would like to personally congratulate Miss Jennifer Casey and the Spartan cheerleaders for their wonderful support and energy throughout the season!!!!!
On a final note, the winner of last week's "Lunch-With-The-Coach question ("What were the three units the 6th graders finished the previous week?) was Varsity basketball (and volleyball) player Steven K. who correctly answered, "Basketball, Weight Training, and Floor Hockey." Way to go Steven!!
This week's question (rom last week's blog) is, "What is the other name commonly used for the game "Cornhole?" Remember, you must be the first person to e-mail me the answer at tdodd@ccsd66.org to be the winner!!!!!
On a final....final note, my personal congratulations go out to our Lakeview alums who are members of the Downers Grove South Boys Varsity Basketball team. Starters Mike Cahill, Malcolm Herron, and Alex Gorniak, and well as 6th man Seth Carson lead the Mustangs to a thrilling 45-42 come-from-behind win last Friday night vs powerhouse Mt. Carmel in the Hinsdale South regional. Even though he has been a reserve player this season, junior Bobby Mueller has provided energy and enthusiasm from the bench. Cahill and Carson's tenacious defense, Herron's lights-out shooting, and Gorniak's ice-water-veins ball-handling helped the Mustangs erase a 10 point deficit with one quarter to play. Good luck to these outstanding young men as they continue tounament play on Tuesday night (March 10) at the Hinsdale Central Sectional vs. Hyde Park of Chicago!!!!
Have a great week, and.............GO SPARTANS!!!!!........PLAY HARD!!!!!!
