The District 10 championship game was a place the Sailors Boys Basketball Team had not entered for seven years when they lost in a five-overtime game against West Middlesex in 2013. Walking into Slippery Rock Univer- sity on Friday Feb. 28, Lakeview was the underdogs to defending District Champions, the Farrell Steelers. De- spite not haven beaten Farrell for many years, that did not phase the Sailors mindset of bringing home the gold. The boys came out strong, never letting the Steelers get an edge over them until late in the third quarter. Walk- ing into halftime, the Sailors had a 23-21 lead. Farrell answered back in the third quarter, with a score of 32-27 headed into the fourth. The Sailors’ momentum was never questioned as Junior Isaac Lightcap came off the bench and drained three threes to give them the biggest lead of the night at five (38-33). Again, Farrell answered back and tied the game at 44 all to take it into overtime. Both teams continued with tremendous amounts of grit and by the sound of the overtime buzzer, the re- luctant scoreboard yet again was tied at 48 all. The Sail- ors got a slight lead early in double overtime, but Farrell was not giving up the title easily. The lead went back and forth, until the final buzzer sound and the score- board assured the Lakeview community the boys had won the first D10 championship in school history. Hunter Miller led the Sailors in scoring with 20, and Brett Beith chipped in with 16. Senior standout Cole Thiec proudly stated, “Putting that gold medal around my neck made me realize that all the hours, sweat, blood, and frustration that myself and my teammates went through was 100% worth it.” Despite all the glory, the road to the championship game was not an easy one. The team had to win three games against Saegertown, Cochranton and Cambridge Springs to make it to the top of the District. The first round of playoffs was a match with the Saegertown Panthers. The Sailors de- feated them by a score of 51-34. They were led by Thiec with 15 points. In the quarterfinals the boys then faced Co- chranton and defeated them 51-34, led by Beith with 19. Only one step away from the lifelong goal of many, the boys battled Cambridge Springs in the quarterfinals and overcame them by a score of 56-37, led by Thiec with 23. With a record of 18-8 the boys next step will be the state tournament, where they will face South Side Bea- ver on March 7. The main goal this team has had this season was to make a run at the district and a late play- off run. So far they have met half of that goal, and with late hours in the gym preparing for what is to come, they will dictate making their whole goal a reality.

Editoral : Student Di -r e c t o r ’ s P e r s p e c t i v e With the end of the musical sea-son coming fast, I have received plenty of questions regarding this year’s musical. The first being, “What even is Newsies?” The Newsies is based on the real-life Newsboy Strike of 1899, where children across New York City protest harsh working conditions. It is a story of a younger gener-ation taking over the old, and I believe it will truly inspire the younger viewers in the audience. The second question I receive almost daily is: “Will it be any good?” To which I would have to say “of course.” The theme of the next generation taking over shows in this year’s cast, with older faces such as Douglas Maxwell and Jaina Bowmer supporting younger peers such as Brayden Sample and Devin Mcintire, who both

boast a bright future as a soph-omore and junior respectively. This extends out to the direc-tors of the musical, with Miss Alaina Stroud as vocal director and Mrs. Beth Lewis as the pit di-rector. The entirety of the cast and crew have evolved and are taking over Lakeview’s theatre program. This leads to the last question that I welcome: “But how will it compare to previous shows?” This year the ensemble, crew, and directors have all stepped up to the challenge of a rigorous musical. Putting in months of re-hearsal time and going above their expectations to get a polished final show, through every year, we have learned as a group what will and what will not work. This show will amaze any audience member, and I encourage you to see every show. Newsies, performed by the Lakeview High School Theatre Department will premiere on Thursday, March 12 at 7:00 p.m. There will also be shows on Mar. 13-14 at 7:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. respectively. Be sure to come out and support the cast and witness an astoundingly entertaining musical.

Girls Basketball and Wrestling

Come to a CloseBy Reese Gadsby

As the winter season is coming to a fin-ish, so are the winter sports at Lakeview High School. The Wrestling team and the Girls Basketball team wrapped up their seasons in playoffs beginning the week of Feb. 21.

The Girls Basketball team unfortu-nately ended their season earlier than they would have hoped in the quarterfi-nals of the District 10 playoffs. The ladies had a bye in the first round, giving them a week to prepare before they faced Girard on Feb. 22 at Meadville High School.

The girls faced Girard earlier in the year and were given their first loss of their sea-son, 36-30 (Dec. 21). On Saturday night in Meadville, the girls came out to a slow start, trailing the Yellowjackets 21-14 at halftime. They never quit battling, but at the final buzzer, the ladies could not pull through, as the scoreboard read Girard 52, Lakeview 45. The girls finished their season with an overall record of 17-6.

The Wrestling team traveled to Sharon High School on Feb. 21-22 to battle in the District 10 Championships. Trevn Schaffer, Isaac DeVault and Sebastian Hensch all qualified for the matches and were the Sailor representatives. Ryan O’Polka had also qualified but was not able to compete due to injury.

One Sailor wrestler, Isaac DeVault, placed 5th and qualified for the North West Regional Championships. At the District tournament DeVault placed fifth in his weight class, but will unfortunately not be traveling to states. The Sailors ended their season with a record of 1-9.

Sliding Into the SeasonBy Lydia Reed

Coming off of a second round showing in the District 10 Play-offs last season, the Lakeview Girls Softball Team is back in action. Led by head coach Alan Herrmann. He has great goals for the girls and big plans in mind. With the help of his two assistant coaches Brent Booher and Ron Mahan, they hope to lead them to victory.

This season’s goals are to win in their region, and go to playoffs. They have the chance to play in the state tournament. As the sea-son continues, some challenges are anticipated; they had multiple girls injured last year and hope to keep everyone healthy and strong this season. Weather is also a challenge the team has to adapt to, as it is al-ways changing temperature and is hard to work around.

According to Danielle Sonthiemer, “The girls softball team as a whole is working hard to accomplish their goals in this season.” This year’s team captains are Madyson Booher, MaKayla Schell and Sonthiemer.

This is going to be the last year for the seniors who include: Madyson Booher, Zoe Kepner and MaKayla Schell. Their record last year was 6-11, but they hope that this season will go better, and there will be less injuries along the way. They are working hard to achieve their goals, and they hope to have an excellent season.

Recently at Lakeview High School, a new club has been added to help benefit the students and their community. The LEO Club, which stands for Leadership, Experience, and Opportunity, was approved in September of 2019 by the Student Council board. This organization branched off of the ideas of Lions Club, but for students and their local schools.

LEO is a service organization that

is open for any students in the high school. In this club, students partake in many service activities that allow youth to progress in their leadership and social skills.

The club is planning to attend a nursing home in the near future. Members will also be planning more ideas and opportunities to get involved in throughout the commu-nity. In addition to these student led projects, the club will also partner with the Lions Club. They will help with the Hot Sausage Stand at the fair, the BBQ chicken dinner in the summer and the buckwheat sausage dinner in November.

If any student is interested in join-ing this beneficial club, students can get connected by talking with Mrs. Kohr or one of the four officers: Tucker Amon (President), Luke Hostetler (Vice President) Anthony Grim (Treasurer) and Danielle Son-theimer (Secretary). There is a $5 yearly membership fee and a $5 ini-tiation fee. Meetings will be held on club B days in advisory.

The 2020 Sandy Lake Comic Con is around the corner. On March 28, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., fans will gather at Lakeview High School to host the annual Comic Con. During this event, numerous activities will take place: cosplay contests, raffles, games, demos and arts and crafts. This year’s vendors will supply all the items that are going to be sold. The vendors will sell food, games, action figures, comics, and artwork.

Mr. Whisner said, “I would like to thank Mr. Mark Bell of Bell’s Comics in Grove City for his nu-merous contributions to the Sandy Lake Comic Con. From the begin-ning, he has been a huge supporter of the event and plays an extremely important role in the success of the Con.”

Many people will put this event together. Bell’s Comics will help

As a high school senior, you are faced with pressure from the many daunting decisions you need to make that will im-pact and alter the rest of your life. When people first hear that you are a high school senior, there are only two questions that arise in the stranger’s mind: Where are you going to college, and what are you going to study? Most answer with a col-lege nearby and a major that everyone is accustomed to. Yet some answer these questions with the alternative route of life: “Oh I was planning on taking a year off” or “I wasn’t planning on going to college at all.” However, even these al-ternatives are not that uncommon from the norm of society.

The seniors who are investing their fu-tures into college, often ask themselves the questions that include: What career should I pick now that will leave me fi-nancially stable, yet still be happy? And should I go to college near my family, or take adventures elsewhere?

For me, I chose a very uncommon lo-cation, with a degree that is not typically mentioned. I am going to be attending the University of Westminster in Lon-don, England, to study my undergraduate degree in international marketing. I am taking a giant leap and going to college in a different country, across an ocean, with a slightly different school styling and a grading scale that I still do not fully understand. Yet I cannot wait to go, and have the opportunity to move to a mas-sive city in a different country; it is so ex-citing that the fear of total independence is nonexistent.

My passion of travel is finally going to start in full swing in September (when their schooling starts). In eighth grade, I knew having a career in some sort of in-ternational business would increase my odds of getting to travel for my job would be higher than average. I started to scour the internet for colleges that would offer at least a year in study abroad programs, knowing I would not want my time there to be anything less. I even found, and was settled, to do Semester at Sea, so I could venture the world. But it still did not feel like enough time out of the

construct this event and sell their products. The meetings that help put SLCCs together, take place at Bells Comics. When the students sign up to volunteer to help, they will get hours knocked off their senior proj-ect volunteer hours.

According to Mr. Whisner, “We usually make a few thousand dollars from this events. This money will be given to Sandy Lake’s Public Library. We hope to fundraise just as much as last year and hopefully more.”

country traveling. I realized I needed more time, so one year turned into “why not all four?” Lon-don was the very first thought, as it was always a city I could see my-self living in, and it was a language I knew so there was no language barrier. Through countless hours of research and hard work, I finally found and was accepted to the Uni-versity of Westminster.

I am beyond excited to live in a city and in Europe. It is actually cheaper, tuition wise, to study in London, and it is a lot cheaper to travel throughout Europe once you are over there. The convenience of weekend traveling is too enticing not to do. Paris is only a two-hour train ride away, and a flight to Ath-ens can be about $17 for a round trip.

If living that far away from your family for that long is too much, I highly recommend that you study abroad for some duration, or even travel to Europe or somewhere else in the world. You have less than 1% chance of not liking it, so the 99% payoff is too good to pass up. Money can be replaced, so travel while you still can.

Just travel.

The Lakeview Track team is back and ready to run. The team is being coached by Mr. Ryan Harold, along with assistant coaches: Jack Cress, Jodi Seddon, Aaron Armstrong, Duane Lightcap and Mike Rotz.

Both the varsity and junior varsity teams last year had winning records.

This year the girls and boys teams will be combined.

“I am really looking forward to seeing the boys and girls program build a unity among each other with tons of support for each other,” Coach Harold stated.

To get ready for the season, there is conditioning during the winter, along with indoor track meets at Youngstown State University.

The senior boys include: Dante Borden, Burton Brocklehurst, Luke Hostetler, Doug Maxwell, Michael McClure, Logan McFadden, Dal-ton Pears, Cole Thiec and Kenny Yarnell. The senior girls include: McKinley Barrish, Abby Denzer, Bailey Kasbee, Crystal McGowan, Claire Oliver and Austa Reed.

There are always challenges every season in track, and injuries that may occur. Other challenges include a shortage of competitors in certain events.The injuries and challenges help the team members to work as a team and continue to get better.

Coach Harold said,“Every year I look forward to seeing the athletes compete and reach their goals and see everyone have that smile on

their face knowing they accom-plished something great!”

On Feb. 11, the 11th annual In-vention Convention took place at Lakeview Middle School. Unlike years in the past, only 6th graders were allowed to compete in the competition. The Invention Con-vention is a competition that en-courages young students to invent an item that they feel would bene-fit them or someone else. The item that they invented has been judged by local people. The judges decided on the top 10 inventions, and hon-orable mentions as well. There are numerous awards given out by the teachers also.

The winners include: 1st place Farren Reynolds with “Scrape Tas-tic,” 2nd place Gavin Schell with “Two-in-One,” 3rd place Owen Reynolds with “Quick Cleat,” 4th place Seth Phillips with “No Block Locker,” and 5th place Bryce Jen-kins with the “Snooze Abuser.” Honorable mentions include: James Alexander with “VIEW,” Lance

Davis with “Simple Snack Filler,” Lily Gibson with “School Shield” and “Jacob Birkner” with “Dirt Blower.” Other special awards include the Princi-pal’s Award that went to Delaney Mont-gomery with “Zip Up.” The Director’s Award went to Audrey Potter with the “Double Boss.” The 6th grade Teach-er’s award went to Delainee Snyder with “Hydrating Harness,” and finally the People’s Choice award went to Waylon Bacher with the “Auto Pencil.”

On Feb 12, the members of the com-munity got to view the 6th grader’s hard work. Unlike in the past, they will be un-able to move onto the state competition, as it does not exist anymore.

However, the Invention Convention is put in place to encourage students to tap into their creative side.

On Friday, Feb. 21, Trent Milliren and Brandon Partridge committed to playing baseball for Penn State Dubois. The two went on a tour of the college and liked the opportunities they had for student athletes.

Penn State Dubois is a small branch of Penn State and has about 600 students. They also have one of the nicest fields in Pennsylvania, all turf with a true stadium atmosphere.

The Penn State Dubois baseball team has won the USCAA World Series champions the past two years. Partridge hopes to play first base, and Milliren is going as a pitcher with an ambition of playing on the field when he is not pitch-ing.

Milliren and Partridge’s coaches, teammates and parents are all very sup-portive of their decision and wish the best to the boys and their future at Penn State Dubois.

At the beginning of 2020, Lakeview’s own Haven Patton traveled to several dif-ferent places within the Dominican Re-public. She took this trip with her youth group over the span of seven days (Jan 19-26), and experienced many new things.

The party stayed in a campsite consist-ing of Women’s and Men’s dormitories with cold showers. While in the Domin-ican Republic, Patton went to five dif-ferent villages: Higuey, Villa, Cristal, La Higuera, Juma, Hato Mayor, and Bethel.

They helped many impoverished areas in these poor villages including an orphan-age. Medical and Eye clinics were held by the youth group.

Patton and her companions spent a lot of time playing with little kids from the orphanage. They met new people, such as their translators for the week.

Patton mentioned that her favorite part was definitely playing with the little kids and experiencing how other people live. She said one of the most important life lessons she learned on this trip is “to never take anything for granted and to find the smallest things in life that make you happy. The smallest things can sometimes mean the most.”

On Friday, Feb. 7, four individual ath-letes and one sport’s team were inducted into the Class of 2020 Athletic Hall of Fame. The group of inductees included Brenda Gander, John Guyton, Tom Tin-gley, Keith Miller and the 1983-1984 Varsity wrestling team. The induction occurred at the last home wrestling match for the Sailors. Both the individuals and the team that were inducted contributed greatly to the success of Lakeview ath-letics and sports.

Gander was a member of the track team and was a four-time state qualifier and three-year district champion in the high jump. In addition, she was ranked in the top 50 female athletes in high jump by the Track and Field magazine during her senior year. Gander continues to hold the school record for high jump at 5 feet, 8 inches.

Former Lakeview basketball player, Guyton, was also inducted. He is consid-ered one of Lakeview’s best basketball players. During his high school career, Guyton scored 1,013 points overall. At the time, Guyton was the top scorer in Mercer County.

Tingley was on the wrestling team during high school and now coaches the varsity and junior high wrestling teams. He was a 3-time section champion and qualified for States. Tingley set a school record for most wins as a junior, as he had 83 wins. He also had 116 career wins throughout the four years he wrestled.

Although Miller did not attend Lakev-iew as a student, he was an amazing coach for the Sailors. Among the four sports he coached, wrestling, football, baseball and junior high basketball, he was named Coach of the Year three times for wrestling. With Miller as a coach, the Sailors excelled at sports.

For the first time ever, a whole team was inducted into the Hall of Fame. The

Volume AE, Issue 5 March 5, 2020The Lakeviewerteam was inducted into the Hall of

Fame. The varsity wrestling team of 1983-1984 included: Steve Armour, Curt Bindas, Joel Buzzard, Bruce Find-ley, Joe Gealy, Mike Kinney, Pat Mar-tin, Joe McMullen, Gary Sorg, Tom Tingley, Brett Vath, Shane Vath, Kevin Watts and Rod Wright. The team was coached by Head Coach Keith Miller, Assistant Coach Dave Rose and Junior Varsity Coach Max Vath. This team had an undefeated season and earned the title “King of Mercer County Mats.”

The class of 2020 Athletic Hall of Fame induction was a very important night. It was the first time an entire team had been inducted together. Lakeview is very proud to be represented by these amazing athletes and coaches.

While students were sleeping in and relaxing, teachers at Lakeview School District were busy learning self-de-fense and playing pickleball. On Jan. 17, an In-Service Wellness Day for the staff was put together by the Health and

Wellness Committee. In advance, teachers were asked to

choose five stations and a vendor to par-ticipate in among a wide variety of ac-tivities. Some of these activities included: badminton, healthy cooking, line danc-ing, mindfulness/mental health, pickle-ball, self defense, stress management, tai chi, and weight room/cardio, yoga.

At one point in their day, the teachers visited vendors like The American Heart Association, chiropractors, dentists, essential oils, massage therapy, Rock Creek Wellness, and even more.

Mrs. Crystal Drew, the head of the committee, said, “The day helped bring awareness to the importance of taking care of yourself.”

Izzy Chaffee, the representative for students on the Health and Wellness Committee, spent her day at the school helping with the weight and cardio sta-tion. Chaffee said she noticed what a pos-itive impact the day had on the teachers and that they deserved it after they spend almost every day caring for students.

The day was a big hit among the teach-ers and many are hoping for more well-ness days during in-service.

Learning to spell many words can often be difficult, but for some of our Lakeview students, it is a breeze. On Feb. 13 the annual spelling bee was held between the fourth, fifth and sixth grade levels. Though participation is not man-datory, there were many contestants.

The fourth and fifth grade spelling bee took place in the multi-purpose room at Oakview. Mr. Foust selected the words for the competition, and Mrs. Redfoot read them aloud.

The sixth grade spelling bee was held in the middle school auditorium. Na-tional Honor Society members Marlis Ruediger and Elise Silloway read the words.

Katrina McCollough (fourth grade), Lauryn Redfoot (fifth grade) and Rachel Hoovler (sixth grade) were the first place winners. They will compete in the county spelling bee competition at Lakeview on March 24.

“Learning new words is my favorite thing about the spelling bee, and can-

tankerous was the hardest word I had to learn,” said Lauryn Redfoot (2 year win-ner). “It feels amazing to win twice in a row.”

This year’s prom will be held on Sat-urday, April 21 from 6:00-10:30 p.m., at the Corinthian in Sharon, Pennsylvania.

Tickets can be purchased in the high-school cafeteria from April 6-8. The cost will be $40 for seniors and juniors, and $50 for sophomores, freshman, and out-side guests.

Please note that students have to pick up a permission slip in the activities of-fice and have it filled out before buying a ticket. There will be no after prom, however, there will be a grand march at 5 p.m.

On Thursday, April 23 there will be a mock accident in the parking log, as well as an infromational meeting in Mrs. Bra-zell’s room.

The theme of this year’s prom is based on none other than the famous paint-ing, “The Starry Night” by Vincent van Gogh.

Accoring to the prom advisor, Mrs. Brazell, that prom’s theme was put to-gether by none other than her outstand-ing committee, (Haven Patton, Sierra Williams, Anna Redfoot, Danielle Son-theiner, and Abby Sefton).

They found the idea for the theme this year, as well as previous years, after look-ing for ideas within the app ‘Pinterest,’ as well as a wide variety of magazines.

Though there are no chaperones at this time, the committee and prom advisor are very optimistic about the ever grow-ing help that they will be receiving and have received in the previous years.

A wide variety of beverages including water, pop, lemonade and iced tea will be available at the dance.

Although the menu for dinner is not complete yet, cupcakes, brownies, and cookies will definitely be provided.

Included in all of this excitement will also be a prom promise, a promise you make to not do things that may risk your life on prom night.

According to Carlin Ligo, “I’m very excited to go to prom again this year and dance with all of my friends.”

The 2020 Lakeview Baseball team is eager to start their season. Seniors: Brett Beith, William Devereaux, Joey Kat-avitch, Nate McIntire, Trent Milliren, Bryson Reither, Jared Obreza, Brandon Partridge and Kenny Yarnell are ready to travel to Myrtle Beach for their last spring training.

These seniors have played together for years and have contributed so much to the

team. Beith is returning Region Player of the Year, and Milliren is Re-gion Pitcher of the Year. Juniors on the team consist of: Lane Barber, Kendall Crocker, Isaac DeVault and Anthony Grim. The juniors this season will have big shoes to fill, but will surely step up for the challenge. The sophomores are Mason Bevan and Ted Shillito, and they are welcoming the new freshman to the team, Chase Hostetler, Cameron Pence and William Trubic.

Coach Beith would like to say the following about this year’s Baseball Se-niors, “I have been around these guys for their whole baseball career and have seen them grow into great players, but they have become even better as young adults. I can honestly say that I have enjoyed every minute being around this group! I am excited to get the season started to see what they can accomplish this year. Last year we came up a little short of where we thought we could be, so this year we hope that we can take the next step and win District 10.”

Mr. Beith continued, “In regards to Brett specifically. This is going to be one of those bitter-sweet years.”

Volume AE, Issue 5 March 5, 2020The Lakeviewer

In the past few months, Mr. Cumpston, Mrs. Martin, and Mrs. Obreza have been working to update the display of Lakev-iew’s history. This display is located in the middle school hallway to the right of the cafeteria. Currently, the display is fea-turing the history of the Lakeviewer from the 1950’s all the way until now.

In May, the display will be changed to honor and recognize the inductees of the Hall of Fame.

Lakeview’s own Trevor Steen and Brandon Guthrie attended the regional chorus competition last week at Hickory High School. Auditions for this com-petition began on Wednesday, Feb. 26 where students sang assigned songs in front of a panel of judges.

Guthrie auditioned with the songs “Please Stay” by Jake Runestad, as well as a Korean folk song. He placed 3rd overall with these performances. Steen auditioned with “The Proclamation” by Karl Jenkins, also along with a Korean folk song. He placed 5th overall in this competition. Both Guthrie and Steen will advance to the state level due to their placement at regional choir.

The following day consisted of re-hearsing for the final performance. The Friday night concert, directed by Dr. Lee, featured chosen students from 56 schools.

Guthrie said “Dr. Lee. said to us that if your main goal of music is entertain-ment, then you are doing it wrong. This really inspired me to give it my all during every performance.”

Lakeview’s Historical Display

By Haven Patton

I am very excited to see what he can accomplish, hopefully he can improve on what he did last year. It is going to be extremely hard when that last game comes, knowing that it will be the last time that I will coach him. We have put in numerous hours into trying to improve his game and that is something that I will truly miss. Even though he won’t be around after this year, I am excited to see where his next step takes him.”

Two of Lakeview High School band students, Carter Wil-liams and Braden Sample, recently attended District Band. It was held at Butler High School on Feb. 13 through Feb. 15. The students rehearsed their songs the first two days at Districts. On the first day, all of the musicians united as one and auditioned. The musicians rehearsed their songs, then the judges picked who will move on to regionals once the audi-tion was over. The second day consisted of more rehearsing morning to night. The last day, Feb. 15, the students rehearsed for the last time in the morning and they performed the songs later that day.

Districts consist of student bands from the south east corner of Pennsylvania. This would include counties such as: Butler, Lawrence, and Mercer County. While Carter and Braden did not move on to Regionals, Lakeview’s student body and staff could not be more proud.

With the Lakeview High School was a guest conductor Dr. Townesend from Pitt. Mr. May said, “Our two fantastic stu-dents did a phenomenal job and represented Lakeview High School very well. I could not be more proud of them.”
