Congratulations to Sophia Wang and Nathan Buckley who were selected as this year’s representatives from Eastview in this the Minnesota State High School League State AAA Award Competition. Established in 1988, the Academics, Arts, and Athletics Award (Triple “A” Award) is sponsored by the Minnesota State High School League. The award is to recognize and honor high school seniors who have excelled in the classroom, on the athletic field, and in the fine arts. To be eligible for the Academics, Arts, and Athletics Award at Eastview High School a student must be a high school senior, have a strong academic background, have participated in League-sponsored athletics and fine arts activities, comply with the MSHSL’s Student Code of Conduct and be nominated by a staff member.

This year we had a very talented group of candidates reach “finalist” status, which made the selection process this year even more challenging. This is a great testament to the Eastview High Class of 2023 and the number of outstanding student leaders in the class.

Sophia participates in soccer and her athletics highlights include being a 4 time letter winner, receiving the Best Skills Award 2020, Best Passer 2021, Outstanding Academic Athlete 2022 and All-Section Academic Team 2022. In the Arts she is First Chair Alto Sax in Band and participated in Bravo 2019-21. She carries a 3.977 GPA, is on track to graduate Summa Cum Laude with Honors all while taking an extremely challenging academic load of Honors and AP classes. She is a National Merit Semi-Finalist and scored a perfect 36 on her ACT. At EVHS she is a member of the National Honor Society, has been a member of the math team and is vice president of the Chinese Club. Sophia plans to attend a four year university, but is undecided at this time.

Nathan is a multiple time letter winner in Cross Country and Track and Field. He served as team captain this Fall in Cross Country and has helped lead the team to four academic gold awards as a team. In the arts, Nathan is a 4 year member of Eastview Concert Bands, part of Percussion Ensemble and Pep Band and a two time letter winner in instrumental music. Academically, he has a 3.917 GPA taking an all AP/Honors courseload. At EVHS he is a 2 year member of National Honor Society, 3 year member of Spanish Honor Society, 2 years of being a LINC Leader, and 1 year member of Captains Council. At this time he is undecided on attending a larger school or staying in Minnesota to run Cross Country and Track.

Congrats again Sophia and Nathan; you will represent us all very well in the next level of competition and congrats again to all of our finalists!

Triple “A” Award recipients are selected by a multi-level process involving the League’s member schools and administrative regions. League officials will announce the four state award recipients (a girl and a boy from both a Class “A” and Class “AA” school) in March 2023. Each state award recipient will receive a four-year $1,000 scholarship.

Congratulations to Emily Percival and Connor Barry who were selected as this year’s representatives from Eastview in this the Minnesota State High School League State Competition. ExCEL – Excellence in Community, Education and Leadership – is a unique recognition program designed exclusively for Minnesota high school juniors who are active in school activities, who show leadership qualities, and who are model citizens. This award recognized those who are strong leaders in their school and community and participate in either MSHSL Athletics OR Arts activities.

This year we had not only a very high number of candidates reach “finalist” status, but an extremely talented group as well, which made the selection process this year even more challenging. This is a great testament to the Eastview High Class of 2024 and the number of outstanding student leaders in the class.

Emily is a three sport letter winner since the 7th grade in Cross Country, Nordic Ski and Track and Field. In Cross Country she is a 4 time state competitor, 4 time all-conference, 3 time captain and a 2 time All-State Academic selection. In Nordic Ski she is a 4 time state meet competitor, 4 time all-conference, team captain and an All State and an All-State Academic selection along with being named to the Midwest Junior National Team. She carries a 3.988 GPA taking an all honors and AP courseload. At EVHS she is also involved in National Honor Society, National Spanish Honor Society, Captains Council, LINC Leadership and the Lightning Press. In the community her highlights include being a volunteer coach with the Minnesota Youth Ski League, a TC Marathon volunteer with the CC team and spending many hours each year volunteering at EVHS.

Connor is a two sport athlete in Cross Country and Track and Field. In Track he was Freshman of the year, Lettered 9th and 10th grade. In the Arts he is involved in both band and choir participating in Jazz Band, Marching Band, Percussion Ensemble, Bravo and ACDA Honor Choir. He carries a 3.878 GPA student taking an extremely challenging academic load of all Honors and AP classes. At EVHS he is also a member of the Robotics Team. In the community, he has volunteered with several Cross Country and Track service projects along with coaching youth Robotics Lego League.

Congrats again Emily and Connor; you will represent us all very well and congrats again to all of our finalists!

UPCOMING COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY VISITS

Students should stop by the Counseling Office and get a pass to attend the college/university/military Rep Visit prior to the right visit. These university/college or military visits are small group meetings typically lasting 20/30 minutes. These admission reps are often times the same people that review college applications, so it's a great connection for students.

Eastview Boys Hockey Dominates the Bengals from Blaine (5-0)

The Lightning controlled this game from the first drop of the puck, scoring just 40 seconds into the game (16:20 of the 1st period) to go up 1-0. Jordan Brothers #11 buried a backdoor rebound with assists to John Kisch #5 and Nick Karam #16. Charlie Ortman #26 scored about a minute later (15:30 of the 1st period) to make it 2-0, with assists going to Tyler Cordes #6 and Kevin Woehler #24. The 1st period ended with the Lighting up 2-0, outshooting the Bengals 19-1.

Tyler Cordes #6 opened the scoring in the 2nd period at 7:38 (9:22 of the period) to make it 3-0 as part of a mad scramble in front the Bengal net, with assists going to Brayden Kaldenbach #7 and Billy Downs #23. Zach Wooten #9 scored a Power Play (PP) goal under a minute later at 6:49 (10:11 of the period) to make it 4-0, with assists to Tanner Kronberg #17 and John Kisch #5. The Lightning scored again just 12 seconds later at 6:37 (10:23 of the period) to make it 5-0, Billy Downs #23 from the slot, with assists going to Calen Nelson #20 and Nick Karam #16. The period ended with Eastview outshooting Blaine 32-5.

There was no scoring in the 3rd period, but the Lightning just continued to add to their shot total. The shots for the game were 46-6 in favor of Eastview and goalie Jay Svaren #32 locked down his first shut out of this young 2022-2023 campaign. The Lighting are back in action vs Centennial tomorrow evening, once again at the Centennial Sports Arena.

Eastview Boys Hockey earns well deserved victory over the Cougars from Centennial (7-4)

The Lightning opened the scoring late in the first period (13:38) when Zach Wooten #9 scored on the Power Play (PP) with the lone assist going to Jordan Brothers #11. Eastview then went up 2-0, again on the PP with 1:39 (15:21) left in the period, it was Jordan Brothers #11 with the assists to Tanner Kronberg #17 and John Kisch #5. Then at even strength Tyler Cordes #6 made a pretty play when he stole the puck in the Cougars zone and beat the goalie just 18 seconds after the previous PP ended (15:39), making the score 3-0. The 1st period ended with Eastview leading 3-0, outshooting Centennial 12-4.

Centennial came out in the 2nd period desperate for some momentum. They scored at 4:55 (12:05) on the PP, and again at 6:04 (10:56), quickly cutting the scoring deficit to 2-3. Centennial finished the scoring for the 2nd period when they intercepted a breakout pass in the Eastview end and sniped goalie Jay Svaren to tie the game 3-3 with just 44 seconds remaining. Centennial outshot Eastview 16-5 in the period, for a two-period total of 20-17 in favor of the Cougars.

The Lightning came out in the 3rd period and quickly took back the momentum scoring a PP goal at 2:43, Zach Wooten #9 from Jordan Brothers #11 and John Kisch #5, making it 4-3. Eastview scored a second PP goal of the period at 6:47, when Charlie Ortman #26 scored with an assist going to Tanner Kronberg #17 to make it 5-3. The Lightning scored a third PP goal at 8:01 when Jordan Brothers #11 scored his second goal of the game from Zach Wooten #9 and Logan Opgrand #2 making it 6-3 Eastview. Centennial snuck a rebound past Jay Svaren on the PP at 12:54 to cut the deficit to 4-6, but Jordan Brothers #11 scored an open net goal with just 16 seconds left (16:44), assists to Zach Wooten #9 and John Kisch #5, completing Brother’s hat trick and finishing the scoring for the night. Eastview defeated Centennial 7-4 to improve their record to 2-0 for the season. Shots for the 3rd period were 14-8 for the Lightning, and 31-28 for the game in favor of Eastview.
