Lady Lancer Line up

Layni Newville, Journalist

This summer is when Lakes fall sports begin. Almost every sport has summer practices available for athletes to participate in starting in late June, early July. You can see the front office, student accounts, or Mr. Larson for specific information on sports practices. Our fall sports here at Lakes are notorious for bringing back awards and championship titles back for the school to show off. Very hard working athletes are invited to work throughout the summer to improve and gain experience for the season, summer practices are the way to do that! Attend these practices to gain skill and interest in the various sports. Good luck to the fall sports teams!
