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.

Follow @EVHSathletics on Twitter

Visit www.mshsl.org and click on “tournaments” for all of the post-season brackets, programs, ticket info etc.

Wrestling: The Eastview Wrestling Team had five wrestlers compete at the State Meet at Xcel Center March 3-4. Riley Myers was in the State Finals for the second year in a row! Her 2nd Place finish puts her in rare company as a two time state place winner! Ezra Formaneck finished his impressive season with a runner up finish at state! He only lost to one person all year! Nolan Enderlein earned the team record number of pins on his way to 3rd place in the State! Alex Baccoli had a dramatic come from behind win to earn him state placing honors where he finished 6th place. Ethan Dupont also wrestled well, but had an extremely tough draw and lost both of his matches. As a team, they earned Minnesota State Academic Runner-Up honors with a 3.85 GPA! Congrats Eastview Wrestlers and coaches on a great season!

Girls Basketball: The girls hoops team opened up their Section Tournament with a thrilling 49-42 win over Hastings as they overcame a late deficit and hit some big shots down the stretch! They then traveled to #2 Seed Eagan last Saturday afternoon and despite great hustle and defense, the shots were simply not falling and their season came to an end with a 49-37 loss to the eventual Section Champion. Congrats to the team and coaches on a great season that included an incredible turnaround and improvement the second half of the season.

CI and PI Hockey: Our Dakota Hawks teams are both headed back to the State Tournament on March 17-18 at Bloomington Jefferson. The CI Team is seeded #3 from the South Division and opens up in the State Quarterfinals at 8:00 on Friday vs. St. Cloud.

Boys Basketball: The boys hoops played two very different styles of games this week, but won them both to advance to the Section 3AAAA Championship Game on Thursday night! They will host #2 Seed Eagan at 7:00. On Tuesday, the Lightning defeated #8 Seed Hastings by a score of 103-40 in a very high scoring game and then on Friday night hit a last second buzzer beater to complete a 10 point comeback and defeat #4 Seed Rosemount 42-41! The Section Championship game is expected to sellout and no district badges, conference passes etc. will work as admission so if you plan to attend please buy your ticket early! Tickets will go on sale starting Monday at 8:00 a.m.

Good luck to all of our teams and Go Lightning!

Last weekend, our Eastview Chess Team won the state championship by a slim half point margin, edging both Wayzata and Bloomington Jefferson in an exciting finish. In the final round, Eastview had great performances from Ben Vanorny, Isaac Traynor, and Nirav Singhal to seal the championship.

Eastview placed three players in the top ten in a very tough, competitive field: Isaac Traynor (5th place), Nirav Singhal (9th place), and Ben Vanorny (10th place).

This is the team’s third state title in the past ten years. The team is coached by Bob Dettmer.

This weekend, several members of the Eastview Speech Team competed at the Central Minnesota Speech National Qualifier. After two days of competition in one of the most difficult districts in the country, six Eastview speakers emerged as national qualifiers, and have earned a spot to compete at the 2023 National Speech and Debate Association National Tournament in Phoenix, Arizona:

These six speakers join Eastview debaters Awa-Bilan Amarreh and Tirsit Enbackom, who previously qualified to the NSDA National Tournament in Congressional Debate in November.

District 196 Moving Forward with May 9 Bond Referendum Election: Two-Question Special Election Addresses District’s Facilities and Equipment Needs

District 196 School Board on Monday unanimously approved a resolution calling for a two-question bond referendum election on May 9, 2023, to address the district’s facilities and equipment needs for the next 10 years and beyond.

That was the recommendation of the administration and members of a Facilities and Equipment Steering Committee that conducted a comprehensive review of the district’s facilities and equipment needs over the last year and a half. The committee developed a facilities master plan and recommended the first phase of improvements to address needs in the areas of safety, security and supervision; space for growth, and providing students and families a more consistent experience in facilities across the district.

The proposed improvements were presented as preliminary recommendations at the Nov. 14 School Board meeting. They were then presented for public input during three nights of focus group dialogues in November, and online via a form on the district website. Learn more.

Do you need fee assistance?

Fee assistance is available for District 196 residents. Apply online or call 651-423-7920.
