Softball Time!

The Lakers have been working really hard these past few weeks to prepare for our fall scrimmage games. Anyone on campus can hear the excitement during practice as they are cheering loudly for each other. Every day they’re getting better and learning to play as a team. We’ve got some great competition ahead, and as the girls often say, it’s “softball time!”

LLC fight song:

Make way for the Lakers now

Our champions we do cheer

We’ve played the game,

We’ve earned the name

Our foes we do not fear

So, raise up your voice in praise

Let’s shout for victory

The Lakers are the best

Forget all the rest

To Lake Land our loyalty

LAKERS!

Tune in after every WIN to hear the Lakers sing the fight song! You may join them by clapping along and singing!
