Hi Spartan Fans !!
Thought I'd enjoy a great afternoon watching the Bears', but the Benson-led Bengals played their game-of-the-year, and came up big!! There is always NEXT WEEK!!!
As I look at the weather, it appears we may be able to get outside with our P.E. classes, and resume our units on Flag Football (and Field Hockey / Track in 6th grade).
Parent-Teacher conferences are coming up this Thursday; October 29th...4:30 - 8:30 PM
Thankfully, our absence lists are reducing daily, and to that a hope that the sicknesses that have been going through Lakeview are on the continued decline!!!!!
A big CONGRATULATIONS to our Girls' Varsity Volleyball team on their outstanding performance yesterday (10/24) in the conference tournament at Lakeview. Due to my football commitments at Downers South, I was unable to attend any of the regular season games, so I thoroughly looked forward to watching them play!!! . The Spartans entered Saturday's tourney with a 6-4 regular season record, necessitating them to win a play-in game to reach the Final Four of the Winners Division. After defeating Butler in three games, the Spartans fell to Eisenhower in the third game of their semi-final match!!!! It was truly enjoyable to watch our team battle to the last point!!!! As a side note, Eisenhower went on to defeat Cass for the championship!!!!!!
Good luck to all our athletes (Boys and Girls) who will be trying out for the respective winter season teams....Basketball and Cheerleading!!!
Lakeview graduates Dan Miller, Christian Silvestri, Colin Pieper, Ryan Hood, Trey Bahaveolos, Devan Smith, Jeremy Schultz, Joel Roman, Kevin Carlson,Thomas Delk, Brad Widdel, Edward Rytych, and Patrick Scott have helped Downers Grove South Varsity Football qualify for the 2009, Class 8A state playoffs. The Mustangs will host Waubonsie Valley next weekend, with the exact time and date to be announced tomorrow (10/26)......HI HARD!!!!!!!!
On a final note, the Downers South Boys Varsity Basketball team will play a preliminary game before the Chicago Bulls / Atlanta Hawks game at the United Center on Saturday; December 19th, tipping off at 2:30 PM. $40.00 tickets have been reduced to $25.00 (if purchased by FRIDAY, OCT. 30) when purchased through the athletic department at D.G.S.... Any individuals with questions may contact Downers South varsity basketball coach Jay Baum at jbaum@csd99.org or tdodd@ccsd66.org Should be a fun-night for all attending!!!!!!!
Have a great week, and............................GO SPARTANS!!!!! PLAY HARD!!!!!!
