LAKE CONFERENCE
Bob Reiss, from the Re-Echo, Winter 2005

St. Louis Park High School will leave the Classic Lake Conference (CLC) in the fall of 2005.  This will close out an association and tradition that began in 1932, when the Lake Conference was organized, and continued with the more recent association with the CLC.  Tentatively, Park will join a new league to be established that will include Benilde-St. Margaret's, Fridley, Ironwood, North Branch, St. Francis, Spring Lake Park, Totino-Grace, and Robbinsdale Cooper.  The expectation is that Park teams can be more competitive with schools similar in size.

In recognition of the historic nature of this change, Larry Ronglein, the boys varsity basketball coach, has asked that former players of Park boys teams as well as former coaches be invited to the last scheduled CLC home basketball game.  The game is set for Friday, February 25, 2005 at 7:15 pm.  The game will be against the Edina Hornets in the SLP Senior High gym.  If you plan to attend, please let Don Schimmel know.
