Lakeside opened the tournament June 22 with a 3-2 loss to the Puget Sound Roxx. Skyline graduate Connor Lawhead pitched well for Lakeside, not allowing an earned run in six innings.
On June 24, Lakeside lost a slugfest to the Lewis-Clark Twins, 9-8. Altchech, Sinatro and Newport’s Kyle Goemmer each had two hits.

Blanche A. Freed passed away June 23, 2011.
Blanche Freed
She was born Jan. 11, 1923, in Iron Mountain, Mich., the daughter of William and Eva Perreault. At the age of 12, she moved to Newcastle and graduated from Issaquah High School in 1941.
Blanche worked as a dental hygienist before becoming a homemaker. She met and married Richard Freed (a former classmate) in 1957. They enjoyed traveling the United States, making new friends and visiting long lost relatives.
Blanche found her true calling when working for Christies’ Florist in Seattle, creating beautiful floral arrangements. This led to her teaching floral classes, taking painting classes and creating beautiful, fun and unique works of art — be it a whimsical doll, a classy Victorian heart or a dried floral arrangement, which were some of her many talents.

Kasen Williams named National Athlete of the Year
June 28, 2011
NEW — 3 p.m. June 28, 2011
Another week, another honor for Skyline High School’s Kasen Williams. MaxPreps.com has named the remarkable three-sport standout its 2010-11 National Male Athlete of the Year.
In track and field this spring Williams captured three titles at the Class 4A state championships. He earned all-KingCo Conference honors in basketball during the winter, leading the Spartans in scoring (12.3), rebounding (9.5) and 3-point shooting.
In football, Williams responded with his finest season, hauling in 86 passes for 1,579 yards and 21 touchdowns for the 12-2 Spartans. On defense he added 89 tackles and four interceptions from his safety spot. He was an easy first-team All-American pick for MaxPreps.
Parade Magazine also made him its National Player of the Year.
