On Friday February 8, the Eastview Lightning 10th Grade Boy’s Basketball team beat their cross town rival; Apple Valley High School 66-44.

The 9A Boys Basketball team had another successful weekend by winning three out of four games. On Friday they defeated Bloomington Kennedy 65 - 42 by controlling the boards and causing 25 turnovers.  Leading the way for the Lightning were Frank Veldman with 18 points and 8 rebounds, Lethzee Calderon 15, and Shane McSparron with 10.  The next three games were part of the Cottage Grove Tournament.  Tartan was their first victory of the tournament 52 - 48.  Veldman led the way with 5 blocked shots and 15 points, Andre Hunt had 12 pts., and Shane McSparron 11.  The second game was as easy 49 - 20 win over Park of Cottage Grove.  Every player got in the scoring column, with Veldman leading the way with 20 points.  The third game was against Lakeville North ending in a one point loss at the buzzer 50 - 49.  Leading the way in scoring were Veldman 15, Calderon 13, Hunt 11.  Eastview record is 21-5 overall.  Next game is Tuesday @ Eagan. 

 

The 9B Boys Basketball team ran its record to 21-5 after winning 4 games this weekend concluding with the championship of the Cottage Grove Tournament.  Friday night the Kennedy fell victim to the hot shooting of the 9th graders as they won 74 - 31 paced by Tray Cumber's  20 points.  Saturday was no different as they defeated conference rivals Lakeville South and Eagan.  Gavin Carleton had 18 against South and Jacob Ulrich had 12 against Eagan to lead the way.  In the Championship game againt Hastings the Boys only allowed 7 second half points to pull away for an 8 point win.  Jack Yakowic led the way offensively and defensively as he scored 10 points and played tough defense the whole game.  Up next for the B teamers is Eagan on Tuesday.

 

The Lightning Girls’ Varsity Basketball team kept their perfect conference record alive, running it to 16-0 with a 63-57 win over cross-town rival Apple Valley.  The win assures the Lightning of at least a tie for the Lake Conference championship with a 4 game lead with 4 games to go. This is the second year in a row the Lightning have won the Lake Conference championship and the 5th year out of the past six.  The Lightning came out sluggish against an inspired Apple Valley squad, falling behind by as many as 6 point early, yet regrouped and ended the first half with a 9 point, 34-25 lead.  The Lightning extended the lead to 17 midway through the second half, but Apple Valley kept working and kept the game close.  Brittnye McSparron led the Lighting offensive attack with 23 points with Danae Moore scoring 15.  Cassie Sheppard pulled down 7  boards and Danae Moore snagged 5.  The Lightning return to Lake Conference action on Tuesday with a road game against Eden Prairie as they look for a win which will give them sole ownership of the Lake Conference Championship for the 2007-08 season.  Thanks to all our fans and the band for their support on Friday night.  Come cheer us on at Eden Prairie on Tuesday, we appreciate the support.  Go Lightning
