Dear <strong>Parent</strong>s:<br />
Superintendent News<br />
By Dr. Joseph Beeson<br />
Last week I had the privilege of attending the Global Christian School Leaders Summit in San Antonio, Texas. Over 1,100<br />
delegates from around the world joined together for learning, worship, and encouragement. The enthusiasm with which<br />
our brothers and sisters embrace Christian education challenged me yet again. In many African countries, hundreds of<br />
Christian schools are springing up. In India, Christian education is being provided to ALL children, not just the upper<br />
class of the society. In Cambodia and Thailand children are being rescued from human trafficking and given an education<br />
centered in Christ. The answer to the world’s problems isn’t political, it is relational - a relationship with Jesus Christ. Let<br />
us not forget how blessed we are to be able to have a Christian school like Lake Center Christian School.<br />

to experience poverty on a small scale and pray for a child from another country that is living without.<br />
The Matthew 25 Challenge is something we are called to every day. There will always be people we know who need<br />
our help. By serving in love we bring honor to Christ.<br />
I am so excited for the great learning I know is going to happen this week. <strong>Parent</strong>s are welcome to attend our chapel<br />

JUNIOR HIGH AND HIGH SCHOOL TOURNAMENTS<br />
Information was sent out regarding the upcoming basketball tournaments for all junior high and high school<br />
basketball teams. Please contact the Athletic Office if you have any questions.<br />
VARSITY GIRLS BASKETBALL:<br />
The Lady Tigers had an extremely busy week with four games in all, and a very successful one at that! After<br />
rattling off three wins in a row on the week against Rootstown, Valley Christian and Youngstown Chaney,<br />
they dropped their final game of the week against Crestwood. The Tigers, who now sit at 13-7 on the year, enjoyed<br />
a record-setting night against Chaney on Thursday. With their win, they set a new single-season record<br />
for wins, which was previously 12! The team still has two regular season games left with the OHSAA District<br />
Tournament to follow. The Tigers earned the 4-seed and a bye in the first round of the Tournament and will<br />
play host to the Sectional Final Game on Saturday, February 23 rd .<br />
Week Results: Rootstown Rovers (W, 64-52), Valley Christian Eagles (W, 58-53), Chaney (W, 65-32), Crestwood<br />
Red Devils (L, 30-46)<br />
VARSITY BOYS BASKETBALL:<br />
The Tigers just had one game on the week against PTC-County opponent, Crestwood. In a game that the<br />
Tigers led early on, the Red Devils eventually took the lead with under a minute left in regulation. The Tigers<br />
made a last-second effort to tie the game, but could not connect and lost, 50-47. Adam Nowak led the scoring<br />
attack with 13 in the game while Payton Triplett added 12. The Tigers will look to bounce back with a busy<br />
week ahead against Central Christian, Southeast and Oak Hill in the Mercy Medical Classic at North Canton<br />
Hoover.<br />
Week Results: Crestwood Red Devils (L, 47-50)<br />
