Lakeside Returns to AISA State Basketball Tournament

The Lakeside Girls and Boys Basketball teams are once again heading to the AISA State Basketball Tournament beginning on Thursday at the Multi-plex in Montgomery. In the Region Tournament last week, the girls beat Northside, Monroe, and Fort Dale to advance to the State.  Brooke Morris and Sydney Williams made the All-Tournament team with Joiner Hughes being named the MVP.  The Lakeside boys beat  Morgan and Fort Dale and had a loss to Northside.  For the first round of state play, the girls will face-off against Tuscaloosa at 3:00. The Boys will meet Tuscaloosa at 7:30.  Good Luck to both teams---Go Chiefs!

Glenwood round two!

Friday evening The Lakeside School is going back against the basketball team, Glenwood Gators. The last time all four teams played Glenwood, the JV girls lost, the JV boys won, the varsity girls lost, and the varsity boys lost. All are hoping that all four teams will redeem themselves and come out with a great win. Come out to Glenwood this Friday to support your Lakeside Chiefs!

Hear the Junior Bells "Ring"ing

On December 6th the Junior class celebrated a milestone event of their life. Most of the class received their class ring from The Balfour ring company. This is a milestone for them because it symbolizes the fact they will be graduating in the year 2018. Taking them back to their young age, as a celebration, the Balfour rep, Mr. Pierce Alsobrook, served cake and juice boxes for them. Now these teens have a ring to show off their high school years. Congratulations Juniors!!
