Mandee Mergard is a senior on the girl's bowling team. Mandee has quickly improved despite having limited varsity playing time prior to this season. Her steady improvement has her with the second highest average on the team. In addition to her scores, she keeps the team intensity up as well as helping her teammates to relax in the match.
Mitch Geers is a junior on the boy's bowling team. Despite a slow start, only by his own standards Mitch has consistently bowled well to raise his average to lead the team. He is also a solid anchor man in the baker games. He can be counted upon when the team needs a lift or when the match is on the line. He is a big part of the reason the team was able to finish tied for third in the GMC.

EAST BOYS UPSET WEST TOO!
The East boy’s basketball team defeated cross town rival Lakota West Friday night before a capacity crowd in the Hawks Nest by a score of
47-35. It was upset week for the Hawks as the boys duplicated the girl’s win over West two days earlier.
In the first half both teams shared the lead 5 different times. East led by two at the half 23-21. The third quarter was much the same with neither team getting the upper hand. Midway through the final quarter West got into some foul trouble sending East to the line where they converted 7 out of 13 helping them establish a 12 point lead.
Jalen Goodwin played one of the best games of his career hitting four 3-pointers, with four steals and playing some tough defense against one of West's top scorers Jordan Hicks. Cameron Lee led the Hawks with 14 points. Trae Broadnax grabbed 8 rebounds and RJ Leppert dished 6 assists and snared 8 carooms.
The loss was especially painful for the Firebirds (11-5 and 10-2 GMC) knocking them out of a 1st place tie in the GMC with Princeton. The win for East is the first in the last 4 meetings dating back to 2007.
"It was a total team effort tonight," said East head coach Wally Vickers. "The key to our success tonight was our ability to execute offensively and defensively. It's amazing what we can do when we cut down on our turnovers."
The Hawks defeated Oak Hills on last night by a score of 57-43. East (#17) will face the Highlanders (#16) again in the first round of the Sectional Tournament scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 23rd, 6:00 PM at Mason High School.

The Lakota East girls basketball team can check one more thing off their 2009-2010 season “to do” list. The Lady Hawks upset the visiting Lakota West Firebirds on Wednesday night by a final score of 48-32 before a raucous crowd of celebrating fans in the Hawks Nest.

“It was just such a special night for this program and our seniors,” said head coach Nikki Drew. “The girls played their hearts out and I am so proud of them. My staff had a great plan in place and the girls ran with it.”
East never trailed in the contest and led by as many as 17. After ending the 1st half with a 10-point advantage, West pulled to within 2 midway through the 3rd quarter (24-22). The Lady Hawks were able to hold off the Firebird rally and never looked back. The East defense held West to a season low field goal percentage of 20% and a rebounding margin of 40-28. East was led in scoring by sophomore Whitney Wyckoff’s 15 points (11/13 FT). Alyssa Grevenkamp contributed 12 points and 8 rebounds while Molly Blomer added 11 rebounds. Imani Outlaw dished 4 assists and made 3 steals.
It was also a special night for three East seniors. Megan Boice, Amber Kidd and Page Mayberry were all recognized for their

EAST’S AMBER KIDD SURPASES 1000 POINT PLATEAU
LIBERTY TOWNSHIP, Ohio – Lakota East girl’s basketball player, senior Amber Kidd, is the type of quiet, unassuming player that could easily go unrecognized. What shouldn’t go unnoticed though is that she recently broke through the 1,000-point mark in her high school career.
Kidd transferred to East last year after playing at Westbrook Christian School in Rainbow City, Alabama for three seasons.
Eligibility requirements in her former state permitted the talented Kidd to play varsity when she was in the 8th grade. During her first year on varsity she scored 277 points. In subsequent seasons she totaled 289 points as a freshman and 283 points as a sophomore. Her junior and senior years at East have produced another 191 points bringing her to an all-time mark of 1040 points to date.
“Amber is one of the most self-motivated, determined kids that I have had the privilege to coach,” said East 1st year head coach Nikki Drew. “She has an amazing pull up jumper, plays defense like a champion, and is one of best rebounders I have seen from the 2 guard position. “
Kidd along with two other seniors, Page Mayberry and Megan Boice, will be honored in pregame ceremonies when the Hawks face the Lakota West Firebirds on Saturday, February 6th. Tipoff is slated for 2:00 pm.
