Lakeland Anglers Fishing Team continues to haul in bass during the summer
Even though it's summer, Lakeland still has students representing the school at competitions. Case in point, here's the lastest update from the Lakeland Anglers Fishing Team: Unfortunately, only one of Lakeland's three teams could make it to Lake Muskegon last weekend for stop #3 on the Michigan Bassmasters Nation Youth Trail. 52 high school teams from across Michigan took part on the Holiday weekend. As they did in the first two tournaments of the year, the team of Mitch Porter and Chase Aaron remained steady by filling their bag on both days before 9:00 am and took the next 6 hours each day culling for bigger fish. Saturday's weather was as nice as one could hope for but similar to Higgins Lake, Sunday was a different story as thunderstorms and heavy rain moved in just in time for weigh-in. Results and AOY standings below... Saturday 7/1 Mitch Porter/Chase Aaron - 14th place with a 5-fish total weight of 12.52 lbs. Sunday 7/2 Mitch Porter/Chase Aaron -

Boys Varsity Soccer cannot find the back of the goal in a 3-0 loss to Waterford Kettering
Boys Varsity SoccerThursday Sep 12th - Game 9 at Waterford KetteringAt Kettering, the game activities got underway quickly. The Captains were given an early yellow card for an unnecessary slide-tackle along the sideline and moments later earned a restart after an Eagles foul near midfield. On the restart the Eagles defense was unable to mark all the Captains in the box and an uncleared ball was put into the net after just 3 minutes of play. The teams settled in their game tactics and started moving the ball around the field. The Eagles created several chances with crosses and direct play, but could not get past an active goalkeeper. In the second half, Kettering implemented a very high defensive line and this created even more through ball opportunities for the Eagles and even caused the Captains' goalie to come out of his box and earn a yellow card for a hand ball 40 yards from goal. Unfortunately, despite many chances, none of the Eagles were able to get through the Kettering defense and score. Ketteri

Boys Varsity SoccerTuesday Sep 10th - Game 8 home vs Walled Lake WesternAfter two games away, the Eagles returned home for a matchup against Walled Lake Western.

Several close chances were had by both teams and #1 Jay Hensley stood tall in goal with several important saves. But the Warriors broke through after 14 minutes and took the 1-0 lead. The defenses kept working to prevent more close opportunities, but Warrior speed proved to be a little too much for a short-handed Eagles defense. Late in the first half, the Warriors added a hard shot inside the box across the goal to the side net. Fourteen minutes into the second half, the Warriors added another goal. But with 9 minutes remaining #15 Ben Geromette was able to pull back one goal with a well-placed shot from twenty yards out. . The Eagles continued to pressure the Warrior defense until the end with lots of time in the final thi

In the first two and a half minutes, the Vikings took the lead after a defensive miscue forty yards from goal opened up the field and allowed a simple tap-in from a second streaking Walled Lake Central player. At the five minute mark, #8 Brock Vinter nearly countered off #7 Jacob Dobrin's lofting corner kick to the back post, but it bounced off the crossbar. Seven minutes into the game, #3 Ian Waldman earned his second yellow card in as many games trying to prevent an easy Walled Lake Central breakaway. The restart resulted in a shot over the goal that was no threat to the keeper #1 Jay Hensley. The rest of the game saw a lot of end to end action with only a few chances against both stingy defenses.
