State Individual Wrestling Tournament
Division 2: February 27 & 28

What a week to remember.  No one knew much about the state individual wrestling tournament as Eric and Marc were the first from Lakeside to ever qualify for the WIAA tournament. The pressure was intense on both young men as well as the parents, coaches, fans, and teammates.  Marc and Eric may have gone 0-3 at the tournament but they came up as big winners in our book.  Future Lakeside state qualifiers will be better prepared because of the trail that you two have blazed. Thank you very much.

The parents and fans thank the entire team for this fantastic season.  What a wild and fantastic ride we had due to your hard work and dedication.  Four trophies, beating Lake Mills for the first time in school history, beating Marshall, four regional champions, one sectional champion, and a ton of memories is your gift to us. 

A special heartfelt thank you to the three coaches for the time and effort that you have invested in our sons.  Our sons are better men and Christians because of what you have done. You deserve much of the glory and have our deepest appreciation.  Good luck in the future Coach Nickels, Coach Stewart, and Coach Ewings.
