SPORT SCORES                                                                                     

The 9A Boys Basketball team had an exciting weekend of basketball to end the 2007-2008 season.  Eastview started the weekend with a win over Lake Conference opponent Metcalf Jr. High 62-50.  Paul McWilliams led all scorers with 18, Shane McSparron 16 and Lethzee Calderon 11.  On Saturday and Sunday the Lightning traveled to Irondale High School for the 9th Grade State Tournament and taking a fourth place finish.  Eastview won the first two games giving them a first place finish in their pool.  Beating Mounds View 44-29.  The Lightning only allowed Mounds View seven second half points.  Shane McSparron displayed some fine shooting leading all scorers with 18 points.  Eastview's second win was 66-48 over Minnehaha Academy.  Everyone on the team got into the scoring column, With Calderon and McSparron both leading the way with 12 points.  The Lightning's third win was over a good Osseo team 55-44, with McSparron again leading the way with 21 points.  In the semi-finals Eastview jumped out early but could not contain the boards and make some clutch shots down the stretch against Irondale.  Losing 60-42.  In the third place game the Lightning gave a valiant effort against a tall Stillwater team losing 46-37.  Eastview ended the season with an overall record of 30-9 and 14-5 in the Lake Conference.  The Eastview community was represented with integrity by; Shane McSparron, Jake Goetz, Derek Schatz, Ryan Osgar, Hunter Abramson, Andre Hunt, Paul McWilliams, Jacob Ulrich, and Lethzee Calderon.

 

A balanced scoring attack and a stingy team defense led the Lightning Girls Varsity Basketball to a  51-35 win, the Section 3 Title, and a trip to the State Tournament  over a tough Park of Cottage Grove squad.  After an early seesaw game the Lightning took charge and established a 21-13 halftime lead.  The Lightning never looked back and extended the lead, playing with poise and composure to earn the 16 point win.  Brittnye McSparron led the Lightning offensive attack with 12 points, followed closely by Sam Mehr with 11, Danae Moore with 10, and Emily Kaus with 8.  Seniors Brittany Rud and Cassie Sheppard each snagged 6 rebounds against the much taller Park squad.  Brittany Rud set the pace on defense with 4 steals.   Thanks to the great fan support for this game and all season long.  Help us win that state trophy as we start the journey on Wednesday.  Go Lightning!
