It was a great weekend to be a Lakeland Eagle!

This past weekend was a great weekend to be a Lakeland Eagle! With so many groups, sports, and other clubs that we offer at Lakeland, this past weekend really showed off the talent we have in many different areas here at Lakeland.

It all started Friday night when our Eagles took on the Mavericks of Milford in the MHSAA District Final for Girls Volleyball. Our Eagles came out with a hard fought 3 game win to defeat the Mavs and to win the District Title! All of the girls played hard and defeating Milford to win the title was a great feeling all around. Our fans were awesome and I know that the team enjoyed winning the title on our home floor. Moving into Saturday, our Lakeland Marching Band, getting to LHS at 4am, competed at 8:15am in the Michigan Competing Band Association Flight I State Finals. First out of the gate can be very hard in any event but our Eagles rose to the challenge and claimed 8th place out of 12 bands in their flight. Later in the day, in Brooklyn MI our Lakeland Boys Cross Country team and our lone female runner Senior Morgan Bridgewater, took to the course at Michigan International Speedway in the MHSAA Cross Country State Finals. With over 230 runners in the field Lakeland Senior Garret Zuk finished in 1ST PLACE to win the MHSAA Individual State Championship! Lakeland runner Scott Neff also finished in the top 30 earning him All State Honors. Senior Morgan Bridgewater finished 26th out of 238 female runners to also claim All State honors!

So as you can see we have a lot to be proud of here at Lakeland, even more so this week. GO EAGLES!
