11/4 | OHSAA State Championships @ National Trail Raceway Hebron, OH |
HORTER WINS STATE AGAIN! SENIORS FINAL CC RACE "ONE FOR THE AGES"! Lakota East senior Dustin Horter put an exclamation point on his high school cross country career this past Saturday at National Trail Raceway in Hebron, OH. Horter etched his name into the OHSAA Cross Country record books by becoming the fifth male athlete to win back-to-back Division 1 State titles (modern day records). Dustin joins an elite group of individuals who have accomplished this tremendous feat; JJ White (91,92, Dublin), Allen Bader (00,01 LasSalle), Jeff See (03,04, Middletown), Zack Wills (08,09,10 Mason) and now Horter (16,17). With all eyes on him, expectations and intentions to win, and the weight of the world on his shoulders, Dustin had to battle Middletown junior Conant Smith down to the very last strides of the 5k (3.1 mile) race to defend his crown. From the starting gun, it was a 3-man race between Horter, Smith, and Matt Scrape (Pickerington Central). At the halfway point of the race, Horter and Smith broke away and battled side-by-side for 1.5 miles. Once the two athletes entered the grandstands with 200 meters to go, Dustin fended off two passing attempts by Smith. On Smith’s third attempt, Dustin surged ahead to win by 0.4 seconds. Dustin’s time was 15:03.4 to Smith’s 15:03.8. To cap it all off, it was also Dustin’s birthday and most of the crowd joined in on the chorus of “Happy Birthday” in a magical moment while he sat atop the podium one more time. " For the past four straight seasons at East, Dustin has been a perfect blend of talent, work ethic, and sportsmanship," said ecastatic head coach Adam Thomas. "No one deserves this honor more than him. It has been an honor and a privilege having him as a member of the LEXC Family." CONGRATULATIONS DUSTIN! HAWK PROUD OF YOU! |

The LEXC Family will miss you Holly, but more importantly, THANK YOU for all you did for us this Fall." With so much young talent, the Hawks have a lot to look forward to in the coming years. Congratulations to all the ladies and their coaches on a memorable 2017 season! |

9/8 | Princeton | won | 24-14 | 3-0 | 1-0 | On a beautiful evening last Friday night the Hawks Nest was filled fireworks on and off the field. East celebrated their 20th anniversary with a 24-14 win over visiting Princeton to go to 3-0 and secure their first GMC win of the young season. It was all about the running game again in the Hawks win over the Vikes. East piled up 293 yards on the ground as junior RB Jack Dobrozsi rushed for 113 yards and 2 TD's. East RB Jeffrey Garcia also had a big evening rushing for 110 yards on 10 carries and a TD. The Hawks ran out to a 11-0 lead at the half and built on the margin in the final frame at one point leading 24-7. The Vikings scored a TD in the last few seconds, but the contest was out of reach most of the game for Princeton. Brady Wilson and Jackson Leahy both wrapped up 7 tackles on the evening. Next Friday, East will invade Indian territory with an away game against a very good Fairfield team (1-2). Last week Fairfield defeated Lakota West 10-3. |

9/15 | @ Fairfield | lost | 48-14 | 3-1 | 1-1 | The East Football team suffered their first loss of 2017 last Friday, falling at Fairfield 48-14.

9/29 | @ Lakota West | won | 35-0 | 5-1 | 3-1 | The Lakota East High School football team picked up its second consecutive win Friday night by suffocating Lakota West for a 35-0 victory inside a packed Firebirds Stadium. East makes it two consecutive wins over their district rival, also winning last season 21-14. The game didn't have its usual "end of season" meeting as 2017 marked a move to the mid-season for this classic game between the two advosaries. The Thunderhawks’ triple-option rushing attack kept West off balance from beginning to end, accounting for 363 of East’s 437 total yards. Junior fullback Jack Dobrozsi, the Greater Miami Conference’s top rusher, collected 138 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 16 carries. After a 0-0 first quarter, Dobrozsi opened the scoring with a 1-yard touchdown, capping off a nine-play drive. Through six games, Dobrozsi is comfortably leading the GMC with 922 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns. His 60-yard TD run, his longest run of the season, pushed the East lead to 28 late in the third. East extended its lead to 14 with just over a minute left in the first half on the second Thunderhawk passing touchdown of the season. Junior running back Sean Church took a pitch from quarterback Dylan Fry and threw down the sideline, finding Evan Yablonsky for a 23-yard touchdown. Fry, a junior, carried 14 times for 79 yards and two touchdowns, his first two scores of the season. Fry’s first TD pushed the East lead to 21-0 in the third quarter, while his second touchdown punctuated his team’s win. Church and Jeff Garcia rounded out the rushing attack for East, running for 48 and 59 yards, respectively. For West, which is 1-5 overall and 1-3 in the GMC, a costly turnover and untimely penalties barricaded the Firebirds from turning 334 total yards into any points. West had promising drives end abruptly in the early moments of the game. Dropped screen passes and a costly holding penalty killed a drive as the Firebirds attempted to respond to falling down 7-0. On their very next drive, West squandered a first-and-goal opportunity by settling for — and missing — and 31-yard field goal try. East (5-1, 3-1) now sits alone in third place in the conference behind Colerain and Fairfield. The Thunderhawks will travel to Colerain next Friday, while West visits Princeton.

10/6 | @ Colerain | lost | 38-13 | 5-2 | 3-2 | The Thunderhawks held off perenial powerhouse Colerain for almost three quarters of last Friday's battle between the two GMC foes. After two quarters of play East held a 13-10 advantage over the Cardinals. A 19-yard third-down TD pass with 2:35 left in the third quarter gave the Cardinals the lead for good pulling away for an eventual 38-13 win at Cardinal Stadium. Colerain raced out to a 10- lead in the first quarter but the Hawk battled back. Senior running back Jack Dobrozsi, who went into the game leading the GMC in rushing with 922 yards, sparked Lakota East’s first scoring drive with a 32-yard burst on the first play of the next possession, and he capped it with a three-yard touchdown run on fourth down with 10:33 left in the first half. Senior defensive back Peyton Bruce’s acrobatic interception at the Thunderhawks’ 23-yard line set up Lakota East’s go-ahead touchdown on senior quarterback Dylan Fry’s 67-yard post pattern to junior Evan Yablonsky for a 13-10 halftime lead. The fifth-ranked Thunderhawks actually outgained Colerain by almost 100 yards, 207-108, in the first half. Colerain finished with 317 yards of total offense, 209 in the second half while limited Lakota East to 27 yards of total offense after halftime. “A lot of it was hats off to Lakota East and coach (Rick) Haynes,” coach Tom Bolden said after the game. “We played more to their tempo. At halftime, we had to make adjustments in three areas – game, attitude and tempo.” East QB Dylan Fry finished with 152 yards passing on 4/7 completions and two TD's. Dobrozsi carried the ball 11 times for 52 yards and a TD. Coby Boller and Jackson Leahy made 12 tackles for the East defense. Brady Wilson had 9 and Sal Larubbio had 7. Lakota East (5-2, 3-2), ranked sixth in the region computer ratings, are scheduled to play Hamilton this Friday at home. Big Blue (2-5, 2-3) fell to Sycamore last Friday 24-13. |

10/13 | Hamilton | won | 30-21 | 6-2 | 4-2 | Through eight games, the Lakota East High School football team’s hopes for a Division I playoff berth remain intact. The Thunderhawks scored the game-winning points on a safety Friday night to earn a 30-21 victory over visiting Hamilton, setting up critical showdowns with fellow Region 4 playoff hopefuls Sycamore and Mason to finish the regular season. The game featured 580 total rushing yards. Senior Jeff Garcia led the way for East (6-2 overall, 4-2 GMC) with 114 yards and two touchdowns on just nine attempts. His first TD opened the scoring, and his second provided insurance late in the third quarter. The contest was a close one in the first half, with neither team scoring until the 2nd quarter (7-7) at half. East's score came on a Jeff Garcia 25 yard rush. In the third quarter East fell behind 14-7, but then scored two quick TD's and a safety before the 4th on a Michael Howard 35 yard run and Jeff Garcia 25 yard jaunt. Both of Tommy Capano's PAT kicks were good. Howard added another 7 yard TD run to round out the East scoring on the night. Sophomore Michael Howard rushed 13 times for 105 yards and two touchdowns. Quarterback Dylan Fry, the team’s second-leading rusher on the year, gained 90 yards on 16 attempts. He did not complete any of his four passing attempts. The Tomahawks FB program was recognized in pre-game ceremonies on Friday night. See pic above. The Thunderhawks are tied with Sycamore and Mason for third place in the GMC behind Colerain (6-0) and Fairfield (5-1). East will be at SHS next Friday. The Aves (6-2,4-2) pounded Oak Hills last week 42-6 and are also in the playoff hunt. |

East didn't get on the board till the fourth quarter. Sean Church provided a 65-yard punt return with less than 6 minutes remaining. East will host Mason this Friday, for the final home and senior night. The Hawks still have a senario where they could reach the playoffs with an upset over the #5 ranked (Region 4 rankings) Comets. East is currentlly #10 in the post season rankings. The top 8 teams will qualify for the postseason. Kick off is slated for 7:00 pm in the Hawks Nest...come out and support the team! |

10/27 | Mason | lost | 36-0 | 6-4 | 4-4 | The East Football teams ended their season last Friday on a miserable evening weather wise and results-wise. The Hawks fell to Mason by a final score of 36-0 and thus conclude their 2017 campaign at 6-4 and 4-4. The Comets held a 29-0 lead at the half. With the wind and rain pounding the players and fans on senior night, the Hawk offense struggled to maintain any consistency held to just 126 yards on offense on the night. Chris Whitehead led East rushing with 42 yards on 10 carries. |

FOOTBALL SEASON RECAP The Hawk Football program had an up and then down season in 2017. A promising start at 6-1 ended with 3 out of 4 losses. The Hawks finished with a winning season at 6-4 overall and 4-4 (5th place) in the GMC. As always a highlight for the Thunderhawks this season was a 35-0 shutout of their District rival Lakota West.

10/12 | OHSAA Districts @ Glenview | 2nd | Boys Golf Headed Back To State! For the second consecutive season the Lakota East Boys Golf Team will return to the OHSAA Boys Division 1 State Golf Championship. The Thunderhawks turned in a tremendous performance Thursday at the Division I district tournament, finishing second at Glenview Golf Course. East totaled 301 strokes and trailed only two-time defending state champion St. Xavier (292) on the par-72 course. Mason (308) also grabbed a team spot at the state tournament, which is set for the Ohio State University Scarlet Course in Columbus on Oct. 20-21. Junior Kyle Schmidt paced the Thunderhawks at district with a third-place individual finish. He carded a 37-34—71 on an overcast, damp day at the Glenview links. Seniors Drew Mahon (37-39—76) and Alex Dunaway (40-38—78) also scored for the Thunderhawks, as did sophomore Brock Aten (38-38—76). There are 27 holes at Glenview — the East Course served as the front nine, while the South Course was the back nine. The back tees were used, meaning the event played more than 500 yards longer than the Greater Miami Conference tournament that was held at Glenview last month. The Southwest District is arguably the strongest in Ohio, at least in recent years. The last three D-I state champions — Moeller won it in 2014 — have come from this area. East finished seventh in the state in 2008 and last year. The 2016 tourney was shortened to 18 holes by inclement weather. “We’re very excited. It’s so hard to get to Columbus," said East head coach Jeff Combs. “Getting back to state was one of the expectations of our year. We’ve played with the best teams in the state all year long. If we play our best, we can hang with them.” The Thunderhawks have been GMC champions the last four years. Mason has been the runner-up each season. The last time two GMC schools advanced to Columbus in the same year was 1994. Fairfield and Lakota were the state qualifiers. “This is a great day for the GMC,” Combs said. “We were rooting hard for Mason. Our guys love all their guys, and we like their coach (Tim Lambert) a lot. They’re as good as we are. Anytime we beat them, we’re really excited.” Team Standings Top Three Advance To State 1.
