"We just have one message for everyone besides thank you. We want those who attend with loved ones to hug one another and tell them "I love you". Never take those 3 words for granted as Matt's last spoken words to me were "love you, dad"

The Lakota West class of ‘23 has been a very special class. It includes our all time leading passer (Mitch Bolden) & all time leading scorer in boys basketball (Nathan Dudukovich). It has been a joy and a pleasure. Great young men.
