Lakewood High graduates excel

Observers,
Matt Fannin, Lakewood H.S. class of 2002, is captain of the U.S. Naval Academy basketball team this year.
Matt, who was recently injured, also has a brother Mark (LHS 2003) who attends the Naval Academy.
David Fox, LHS class of 2003, plays for the St. Bonaventure Bonnies.
Superintendent Dr. David Estrop and I spent last Wednesday driving to Columbus and back for a meeting.
Needless to say, there was hardly a silent moment the entire trip.
One of the many observations I shared is the ongoing perception by some that LHS grads are maybe not the caliber of graduates of some other local high schools.
Nothing could be farther from the truth. LHS grads compete in every way with other local high schools (and we've got some very good local high schools).
I'd invite fellow Observers to post the latest information regarding recent LHS grads, or other local Lakewood grads for that matter.
No matter where they went to high school, (LHS, St. Edward, St. Ignatius, Magnificat, St. Joseph's, Lutheran West or anywhere else), they all share a nurturing Lakewood upbringing.
After all, why does O'Bryan remain here after all these years? Do you believe anyone would put up with him in anywhere but Lakewood?
