The Lightning put the finishing touch to an entertaining season Wednesday, April 5th, at the annual post season banquet. The coaches spoke about the tremendous leadership provided by the seniors and the effort brought by the team. This group was gritty, grinders, and never gave up.

Lightning Fall to Rosemount in Section Semi's
The season came to an end on Friday night for the Lightning boys, losing 60-55 to Rosemount in the section semifinals. Eastview shot out early with Jameson Bryan scoring 17 of the first 21 points. The Irish used their size to get back in it though, pounding the ball inside causing matchup problems. The game went back and forth in the second half, with Tate Machacek and Brady Miller both scoring 7 in a row to keep the Lightning close. Rosemount made the last run, however, and hit their free throws closing out the game. Only 4 Lightning scored, led by Bryan with 26, Miller 13, Machacek and Mason Carpenter finished with 8. Bryan, Miller, and Carpenter all had 4 rebounds, and Izaak Raspberry had 3. Bryan had 4 assists and 2 steals, and Miller had 2 steals as well. The Lightning have plenty to be proud of this season, with many records falling. The leadership of this senior class will reap benefits for seasons to come. And, this season will be remembered for its dedicated Super Fans. Congratulations all! #OurMoment
