Hey Spartan Fans,
First off.............Happy Valentines Day on Monday!!!!! I hope all the gentlemen out there pony up, and get your significant other something "special" for Valentine's Day!!!
7th and 8th grade Physical Education classes have been working hard daily during Basketball and Weight Training. On the 6th Grade level, we have begun the third rotation for Basketball, Weight Training, and Floor Hockey!!
Just a gentle reminder that all makeups from this trimester need to be completed by this Friday (Feb. 18). Failure to complete these will result in a zero for any missing work!!!! "GIT-UR-DONE!!!
Last night (Sat.; 2/12/'11), I had the pleasure of attending the fifteen year reunion of the Lakeview Class of 1995. Approximately 25 members returned for a night of Lakeview touring, recalling old times, trying to figure out who was who without looking at a name tag, and then..........probably a great night-cap at Another Round in Downtown Downers Grove. Due to previous Valentine's Day plans, I was not able to land at "The Round"! A special "Thanks" goes out to class member Tim Sularski who organized the event.
CONGRATULATIONS to Coach Little, his staff, and the Lakeview Girls Basketball squad. Their season continues to roll along with four wins last week in conference play. With only ONE conference loss, it appears that the Lady Spartans will have an opportunity to play for the conference championship on the last day of the regular season.... AT JEFFERSON; Feb. 23rd; 4 PM Tipoff!!!! Good Luck Ladies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On the Boys side.........a very frustrating week of basketball (3 losses by a combined 13 points) came to a pleasant end as the Spartans defeated Westmont, AT Westmont on Friday, 44-40. After finally playing FOUR quarters of consistant basketball, the Boys' team posted their second victory of the season. On four occasions this year, the Boys have had leads, only to stumble in the fourth quarter!
THIS TUESDAY (February 15th)....the Boys will play their "PACK-THE-PLACE" game at Lakeview vs. the Butler Bulldogs. Fun games and activities start at 3:05 PM, with Tipoff at 4:00 PM.
"Pack-The-Place" was a rousing success for the Girls last Wednesday, as they defeated Eisenhower before a standing room only crowd!!!!! All games are important, but anytime these two teams get together...........WATCH OUT.............THE FUR WILL FLY!!!!!! Players know each other from rec teams and social get-togethers, thus heightening the drama!!!!
By the time my next blog publishes (Sunday; Feb. 20), Spring Training will be in full swing. Good luck to all your favorite teams................and my St. Louis Cardinals!!!!!!!
Have a great day, and..................
GO SPARTANS!!!!!!!!! PLAY HARD!!!!!!!!!
Coach Dodd
