LHS sports have experienced many state championships in its day. This year, the boys basketball team accomplished the feat of being back-to-back state champs. Boys tennis claimed another title as well, and we are hoping for more titles in track and baseball. These are just a few of the most recent championships won at LHS. Throughout its 50 years, LHS has won 103 championships (hopefully 106 if we win baseball, boys track and girls track). These championships have not come without the hard work put it not only during the season, but also in the off-season. A new program has started at LHS to help athletes performance, hopefully leading to even more championships.

With the integration of the POWER program at LHS, more sports are getting involved in doing off-season workouts. This program has taken off since LHS hired trainer Hunter Glasscock. Any student can lift with Glasscock after school for free. As for summer training, a few of the sports that are involved in workouts with Glasscock are basketball, volleyball and soccer.

These lifting programs are specific to the sport that the students are involved in. The soccer workout consists of three days of lifting and one day of agility for foot speed and quickness. Girls and boys basketball have similar schedules in that they will do three days of lifting, with open gym to follow after. The boys then have Summer Jam on Tuesday nights, and girls games will be Wednesday nights. The summer volleyball workout is three days a week of lifting, open gym and conditioning. Every sport involved in the program has the option of going out to the Sanford Fieldhouse on Friday’s to do extra work on agility.

These are only a handful of the many sports involved in off-season training and workouts. Every sport at LHS has their own off-season plan in the overall aspiration of claiming more state titles.
