Dear Patrons,
On the pages that follow, you will read about the greatest resources
of the Camdenton R-III School District, our students and staff. Our
students are dedicated to the activities in which they participate and
strive to represent our district in a positive manner. Our students are
supported by skilled coaches, directors, and sponsors. These dedicated
staff members not only teach the necessary skills of the activities they
promote, they also instill life-long values. These efforts assist us on our
path to meet our vision of “Everyone Learning Every Day.”
Camdenton is known as one of the premier school districts in the state of Missouri. We are
fortunate to have first-class facilities, thanks to the support of our patrons. Our district is
ready to surpass last year’s accomplishments this school term whether it be on the field, on
the court, or in the classroom. “Purple Pride” runs deep in our community and we thank
you for your support of our students and staff.
Please continue to support our students and sponsors by displaying positive Laker Pride.
Your example assists our students to continue the proud traditions of “Laker Nation.”
Our entire school community encourages you to enjoy our activities. We teach, we learn,
and we build relationships as Lakers through the activities highlighted in this wonderful
publication. We look forward to cheering with you to support our amazing students.
It’s a Great Day to be a Laker!

Welcome to Camdenton High School
“Home of the Lakers” Brett Thompson, Principal
Welcome to Camdenton High
School, Home of the Lakers! It
is an exciting time to be a Laker,
and we are looking forward to a
successful fall season of CHS
activities. With the hard work
and commitment of our students,
coaches, and sponsors we are sure
to continue that winning Laker
tradition.
As we look forward to a new season of activities, we
want to thank our community for the continuous support
provided to our students and our school. By working
together, we are sure to maintain a positive learning
community for our students and help them achieve
great successes both in the classroom and on the field.
The mission of Camdenton High School is to provide
students with a relevant and rigorous educational
experience, helping them acquire the knowledge and
skills to successfully become college and career ready
in a global society. Extra-curricular programs are an
extension of the classroom, and they play a significant
role in achieving this mission. Participation in these
activities allows students to realize the importance of
individual responsibility, competition, and teamwork, all
of which will contribute to their future accomplishments.
Through their commitment to team success, students
learn valuable lessons regarding character and
sportsmanship that not only help them succeed on
the field of play, but also provide them experiences
that allow them to become productive citizens and adults.
I encourage you to continue to support our students
and recognize their efforts by displaying that positive
“Laker Pride” for your school, your teams, and your
community. We look forward to seeing you at our
events this fall. Go Lakers!!!
Jeff Whitney, Director of Athletics and Activities
Welcome to the Home of the Lakers! My name is Jeff Whitney and I’d like to take this
opportunity to welcome our fans and guests to another great year of activities. As the
Director of Athletics and Activities I am always excited about a new school year and the
upcoming activities and events that come with it!
You may notice a new sport on the schedule this year. The Lakers have added Swimming
to its list of fall and winter sports! As some of you may know, over the past several years
many of our students have participated in Lake Area club swim programs. Now our young
men and women have the opportunity to swim for the Lakers in addition to these teams!
Our boys’ season will be during the fall and our girls will swim during the winter season.
Extra-curricular activities play a very special part in our school’s educational program. Our school and
community are dedicated to our students’ pursuit of excellence and the values taught by interscholastic
competition. The playing field is viewed as an extension of the classroom where lessons about sportsmanship,
self-discipline, and perseverance are often learned. In addition, these competitive endeavors offer opportunities
for students from diverse backgrounds to learn the value of teamwork, cooperation, and mutual respect. We know
it is qualities such as these that will help develop the productive citizens and sound leadership of tomorrow.
As spectators, we too are an important part of this “classroom” and the lessons taught. We should always
remember that our actions will speak much louder than our words. With this in mind, it is essential that we
serve as positive role models for our student body. Officials, coaches and student athletes will often fall short
of perfection; this is to be expected. Enjoy the contests scheduled this season - our students, coaches, and
officials have worked extremely hard to give their best performance. Go Lakers!!!

The 2016 edition of the
Pride of the Lake presents
Carnivale: a musical and
visual celebration of the
elegant sophistication
found at the annual twoweek event known as the
Carnival of Venice. The
show is presented in five
acts, entitled Ceremony,
Coronation, Courtship,
Celebration, and Crusade.
The music for this year’s
presentation is taken entirely from the repertoire
of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and will include
selections from the bright and flashy opera, The
Magic Flute, a soloist showcase from Clarinet
Concert in A Major, and the dark and brooding
Requiem Mass. The band is conducted on the
field by our drum majors Darren Figgins,
Phoebe Hogeland, and Claire Roettgen.
The ensemble will be competing all over the
Midwest again this year. Our competitions take
us to Clarksville, Tennessee, St. Charles, Missouri,
and Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. As is our tradition,
the competitive season will culminate at the Bands
of America Super Regional in St. Louis, Missouri.
We will be up against 65 of the best bands in the
country for a prestigious spot in finals. Last year,
the band missed the final round of competition by
one spot, coming in 15th place - our highest finish
ever!
Paul Baur is the director of bands, assisted by
Mike Fenn, Amanda Fall, and Alisha Baur. The color
guard directors are Chris Garstang, Tim Roettgen,
and Kayla Paterson. Additional band camp staff
includes Matthew Vallot, Taylor Hughes, Austin Riedy,
Christa Lenau, Tom Pannullo, and Aaron Short.
The sound production team consists of Eric Petska
and Troy Risner. The show concept and design staff
includes some of the most innovative specialists
in the country, including Wes Cartwright, music
arranger Will Pitts,
percussion writer Adam
Wiencken, and drill
designer Mark Moreno.
Other staff members
include Kelley Mitchell
and Scott Toosley.

GO LAKERS and……..GO HOGS!!!!
The 2016 Camdenton Laker Football squad will be ready to answer
the bell August 19th, when the Lakers travel to Hillcrest for the
season opener. The team has had a great off-season. The HOGS have
dominated the weight room. The Candies (running backs, receivers
and QBs for those who are unfamiliar with Candies) had a successful
summer of 7 on 7. The team grinded through ten days of summer
camp in the grueling heat. With all of the work that has been put in,
the sweat that has been poured out and the strengthening of TEAM,
the Lakers are ready to play. The excitement is growing but there is
a lot of work to do once practice begins in August. The team has set
lofty goals for the upcoming year. Through hard work, great decision
making, and playing good football, the Lakers feel confident they will
find their way to the top once again.
This year’s Laker squad has quite a few holes to fill due to
graduation. Graduating All-Conference players Josh Keys and
Parker Pitts (also All-State) leave big shoes to fill. The Lakers
have four returning starters on offense, which include Dyllan Decker,
Jay Griffin, Parker Stidham, and Austin Stamper. Wyatt Danuser,
Parker Stidham and Todd Simpson return on the defensive side of
the ball. It may seem, on paper, we are rebuilding, but many of our
newcomers had varsity experience last year as role players. This
year’s squad features many new faces, yet possesses the Laker Pride
that has been passed down from generation to generation.
It’s time to introduce this year’s Laker Football squad and, as usual,
we begin with the soul of Laker Football…THE HOGS! This year’s
offensive line has five new HOGS to create running lanes for our
backs and protect our QB. Seniors Wyatt Danuser, Dylan Kelly,
Braxton Shamburg and Zach Howery all look to compete for
a position on the offensive line. The coaching staff is also expecting
juniors Harrison Brownell, Connor Whitney, Wes Buckner, Grant
Norton and Josh Semau to challenge for a starting spot on Friday
nights. Sophomore Parker Ray is a newcomer who has the size to
compete for the Lakers. Our younger HOGS will gain valuable
experience on Monday nights during the JV games. Those players
include Josh Harmon, Holden Looney, Jonathan Ortiz, Zach Trusty,
Marlin Briggs, Jake Scarey, Riley Stidham, Camden Pitts, and
Spencer Aldrich. Our JV team, year in and year out, has provided
these younger players with valuable playing experience. The
coaching staff wouldn’t be surprised if a couple of these athletes
work their way into a Friday night role.
This year’s running back position sees the return of Jay Griffin.
Jay amassed 988 yards last year as a sophomore. We don’t expect
him to carry the
entire load of the
offense. Senior
Zach Wise is a
talented and
quick runner
who will give
the defenses
some fits as they attempt to bring him down. Todd Simpson looks
to step in at the fullback position. Todd has moved from tailback to
fullback this year. He will receive quite a few carries at the fullback
position to take some of the load off the tailbacks. Juniors Winton
Neal, Bo Shore, and Seth Harris will have opportunities to see
plenty of action on Friday nights at the fullback spot. Sophomore
Andrew Butts is a talented runner. As he develops his skills through
the season, he could end up with a number of carries on Friday
nights. Our younger backs who will see most of their action on
Monday nights include Lathan Wise, Cory Eskridge, Kyler Wilson,
Davis Torrence, Josef Bernabe, David Smith, and Garrett Stamper.
We are looking for all of these individuals to contribute and make
an impact at the JV level. Traditionally, the Laker JV team has
been very successful each year. We expect nothing less this year.
Our receiving corps,
which is made up of
our split ends, slot
backs, and tight ends,
bring experience to
the game. Parker
Stidham returns as
our starting tight end.
Senior Kyle Diebold,
sophomore Luke Rasmussen, and junior Jesse Walker all look to
challenge for the starting spot. Boston Hauser, Jonathan Lumley,
and Mason Bowles will see plenty of action on Monday nights.
Senior Austin Stamper and junior Jackson Ezard look to be the
frontrunners for the slot position. Both players had quality experience
during last season. Both are physical athletes who can catch the ball
well and also block at the line of scrimmage when the ball is run
their way. Don’t count out Gabe Kurtz to earn a few snaps on Friday
nights. Jake Hill earned the starting position at split end last year,
but due to a season ending injury during game one, his season was
brought to an early end. Jake is now back at full strength and ready
to hit the field. Ryan Smythe and Matt Lawson will be competing
for some of the snaps on Friday nights. Zach Malone, Kane
Simmerley, Jaben Shockley, Bryce Metcalf, Brandt Arnold,
Preston Crabtree, Branden Howe, Chris Cone, Will Morgan,
Slater Massey, and Kyle Boatman will see most of their playing
time on Monday nights.
Neal and Dylan Kelly are our long snappers. There are a number
of players competing for the punting position.
Our final position to highlight is our quarterbacks. As usual, we
have some talented athletes competing for this position. Senior
Dyllan Decker and junior Isaiah Lumley will battle it out during
practice to see who comes out on top. In years past, the Lakers have
not shied away from playing two quarterbacks throughout the year.
Dyllan and Isaiah are unique and possess different strengths that can
be used strategically. Sophomores Cash Calton, Trenton Flug, and
Skyler England will lead the Lakers to victory on Monday nights.
This year, the
Lakers will feature
a faster defense
than in the past
couple of years.
The Purple Haze
will be asked to
stop the run with
our up-front players and stop the pass with our secondary. The Laker
defense returns Wyatt Danuser, Parker Stidham and Todd Simpson.
All three of these players played on the defensive line last year.
Simpson will move to the linebacker position. Joining Danuser
and Stidham on the defensive line will be Connor Whitney, Harrison
Brownell, Grant Norton, and Jesus Ramirez, who will be competing
for playing time on Friday nights. To round out the front line we
have our defensive ends. Bo Shore, Jesse Walker, and Brandt Arnold
will add to the strength of our line up front.
We will next feature our linebackers. Our inside linebacker position
is one of the toughest positions on the field. Todd Simpson, Zach
Wise, Luke Rasmussen, Riley Stidham, and Winton Neal will
compete for those two positions. Josef Bernabe, Kyler Wilson,
Boston Hauser, and Mason Bowles should provide a solid performance
on Monday nights. Our outside linebacker, named the “robber back”,
will see Austin Stamper making the defensive calls for the Purple
Haze. Winton Neal will be cross-trained at both positions. Garrett
Stamper will see the majority of the reps on Monday nights.
Our defensive backfield is asked to stop the pass-happy teams we
face in the Ozark Conference. Jake Hill, Jay Griffin, Dyllan Decker,
Andrew Butts, Matt Lawson, and Ryan Smythe will all compete for
the three positions. Our hybrid player is a unique player who will be
asked to play on the line as an outside linebacker or as a safety.
This player must have some size and speed. Jackson Ezard and
Gabe Kurtz will compete for playing time in this position on Friday
nights.
This year’s kicking duties have yet to be determined. At this time,
Bryce Metcalf is doing a great job of taking the extra point and field
goal duties. Parker Stidham will handle the holding duties. Winton
Each year, we are blessed and fortunate to
have a dependable and enthusiastic group of
managers. This year, Avery Brownell, Noah
Morgan, and Matthew Payne will take care of
hydrating our players, fixing equipment, and
completing a variety of other tasks that enable our team to perform
at a high level. These gentlemen have a great task. They are at
every practice and every game. They easily earn and deserve the
right to be called Lakers.
This year’s schedule is the same schedule as the past few years.
The Lakers travel to Springfield Hillcrest in week one and travel to
West Plains for week two. Week three, the Lakers host the Lebanon
Yellowjackets for the home opener. Week four, the Lakers travel to
Springfield Kickapoo. Week five brings the Parkview Vikings
to the JOD. The Lakers travel to Rolla for week six. Week seven
brings the most anticipated match up, year in and year out, as the
Waynesville Tigers travel to Bob Shore Stadium for a great game.
The Joplin Eagles make the long trip to Camdenton in week eight.
For the final game of the regular season, the Lakers travel to
Springfield to play the Glendale Falcons. While our regular season
schedule remains the same, our district has changed. Every two
years, MSHSAA sets all classifications and redraws all districts.
For the next two years, the Lakers will play post-season in Class 4,
District 5. The following teams are in District 5: Bolivar Liberators,
Carl Junction Bulldogs, Hillcrest Hornets, Marshfield Bluejays,
McDonald County Mustangs, West Plains Zizzers, and the Webb City
Cardinals. At the conclusion of the regular season, the teams will be
ranked and an eight-team single elimination bracket will be created.
The Lakers are excited at the opportunity to play a few different
teams and hopefully rekindle former rivalries.
This year’s coaching staff includes Jeff Shore (head coach), Nick
Bruck (defensive coordinator), Steve Bayless, Par Pitts, Lance Foulk,
Andrew Nolting, Tim McDuffey, and Shawn Maschino. The Laker
staff would like to welcome Michael Siegal to the staff this year.
Michael’s official role is the Laker technology coach. Some people
might wonder, “What does a technology coach do?”. Well, if you
really want to know, follow Coach Siegal around on game night as
he sets up cameras, the replay system, Ipads, communication devices,
and viewing monitors. Technology has become quite the giant the
last few years. We are extremely thankful to have Michael on board
to take care of all our techie needs. We would also like to recognize
our football operations staff of John McNabb, Marshall McGrath,
and Ted Houx.
The coaching staff would like to thank all of the parents. Year in and
year out, the parents have entrusted the coaching staff with their son.
We do not take this responsibility lightly. We thank you for your
unending support. We thank you for the meals you prepare for our
players every Thursday night. We thank you for allowing us to coach
your son. We would also like to acknowledge our tremendous fan
base. Each year, you fill our stands at Bob Shore stadium and travel
in force when we play on the road. We thank you for the time you
spend supporting the Lakers. We look forward to seeing each and
every one of you this year as you cheer on these athletes!!!
Laker Seniors
Zach WISE
“Well it’s been a long journey since seventh
grade, and I wouldn’t trade this brotherhood
for anything. This sport has made me into
the man I am today. The best part about
playing is the crowd cheering you on under
those Friday night lights. Let’s make this
season one to never be forgotten!”
Dyllan DECKER
“Playing football for this program has
taught me countless lessons in the last six
years. Being a Laker has been one of the
biggest blessings in my life, and is something I wouldn’t trade for anything in the
world. Wearing that purple has made me
into the person I am today. For my last year,
I can only say one thing... it’s... #SVGSZN.”
Austin STAMPER
“Being a part of this football program
means a lot to me and has been a big part
of my life. It went by way quicker than I
was expecting. If I was to give any advice
to any of the younger players, it would be
to not take Camdenton Football for
granted.”
Giusep LOPEZ
“Proud but never satisfied.”
Dylan KELLY
“No matter how tired you get, how
bad you hurt, and how sick you feel,
you go 110% every down and every
snap. Nothing is given free, outwork
everyone, and last, but not least.... Play
like a bad dude and HOGS RULE!!!!”
Kyle DIEBOLD
“I’ve come a long way from the first
practice of seventh grade football, but
if there is one thing I figured out, it’s
that I’m just here so I don’t get fined.”
Zach HOWERY
“Football has given me family and friends
and I can’t wait to fight on the field with
them.”
Wyatt DANUSER
“It’s senior year already? That went by
way too fast. I’m looking forward to my
last season with my brothers. If there is
one thing football has taught me, it is that
you should never take anything for granted
because one day it will be gone.
HOGS RULE!!”
Holden GARMANY
“Never give up, never give in, never
stop, always win. These words have
helped me out with this sport all my
life, outside and in football. They
apply specifically for the times it
looked like we would lose, and then
we won. I am blessed to have played
with my teammates. HOGS RULE!”
Braxton SHAMBURG
“Although I was only part of the football
program for a short time, the team taught
me many things about myself and life.”
Ryan SMYTHE
“#SVGSZN”
Parker STIDHAM
“I remember growing up with those guys
playing football on the playground in
elementary school to middle school
and now high school. I was blessed and
fortunate enough to score the first
touchdown for the class of 2017. I have
mixed emotions going into this senior year.
Football for me has been a way of life and,
in some ways, a family tradition. My dad
played football here and now it’s mine and
the rest of my brothers to make our mark
on this town through our play. It’s our last
year, so we might as well go out with a
bang. #FOE”

Lady Laker Volleyball
The Lady Laker Volleyball team finished the 2015-2016 season with
a 13-13-4 record and a 5-4 record in the Ozark Conference. With the
graduation of two seniors, the 2016 squad features seven returners
and two newcomers. Returning for the Lakers are seniors Daphne
Dinsdale, Jordan Wolfe, Mariah Hadfield, Tegan Shockley, Bailey
McElyea and Blair Kurtz. These six seniors have set the tone for
what hopes to be a highly successful season. Jordan Wolfe and Daphne
Dinsdale were both members of the Class 4 SC All-Region team and
members of the Class 4 District 10 First and Second Teams. Hadfield
also joined Dinsdale and Wolfe on the All-Ozark Conference team.
This group of seniors is looking to leave their mark in the Laker
Volleyball books!
Joining the six seniors on the varsity roster will be juniors Abbie Miller,
Victoria Turner, Sara McDuffey, and Kylie Meier. Rounding out the
varsity squad will be sophomore Natalie Basham. Abbie Miller is a
returning letterman for the Lakers and will continue to be a valuable
part of our 6-2 offense. Victoria Turner is a transfer defensive
specialist/libero who will also see plenty of court time this season.
Basham will see time as an outside hitter as she has proved to be
an important part of our offense this summer. We are also expecting
McDuffey and Meier to give us some quality swings off the bench
when we need them to step in.
The Lady Laker Volleyball team has been working hard in the
off-season and is fired up about the season beginning. We have been
counting down the days since last season, as we hope to continue to
grow as a team and as individuals. With the rich tradition and pride
that comes while wearing our uniform, it will be crucial to continue
to strive to work together as one team with the purpose of overcoming
any adversity that the season may bring. We are looking forward to the
opportunity of proving ourselves in the always-tough Ozark Conference
and setting our goal to make some noise as we push for a postseason run
this year.
“We would like to thank the parents, fans, community and school
district for their support and encouragement. 2016 looks to be an
exciting year for us and we hope to see you at our matches,”
states Coach Walker.

“There are many athletes who can look
back on their high school experience saying
they were part of a team. However, there
are very few who can say they were part
of a family. I can proudly say that I am one
of the lucky few, and for that I am grateful
beyond words. Over the last six years, I
have made countless memories and formed
friendships that will last a lifetime. Being
a part of the Camdenton Volleyball family
was an experience that I will never forget.”
“At some point in volleyball history,
somebody felt sorry enough for those of
us too short to reach the top of the net to
give us a name: defensive specialist. Fancy
sounding, but more accurately described as
‘designated shagger’…JUST KIDDING!
I’ve worn the DS title with pride through
my years of Camdenton Volleyball. And
what a time that has been! These four
years and five girls you see on this page
have impacted my life in an indescribable
way. You’ve got Daph, a solid leader on
and off the court who always has anyone’s
back and would never let you down. Jordi,
who makes anyone on the other side of the
net pee their pants and has show-off killer
dance moves in the locker room. Mariah,
whose been know to growl at opponents
and also DJ some off-the-hook pre-game
jams. Bails, who literally does it all and
once wore a child-sized dinosaur costume
to a Halloween practice. These girls are
the real deal, folks --- my sisters and my
teammates. It tears me up knowing it’s
over, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world.”
Mariah HADFIELD
“There are so many words I could use to
describe what volleyball is to me, almost
too many words. But the most important
word that would fit my experience with
Camdenton Volleyball would be “family”.
Over the years of playing I’ve gained
confidence, strength, and most importantly
a group of sisters. As this season comes to
an end and we all move on to better, greater
things, it will be hard to let go of such a
great program. But this team, this family,
will be something I will cherish for the
rest of my life. ‘For each other with each
other!’”
“People really do mean it when
they say senior year comes way
too fast, looking back on when
I first started playing in middle
school. I remember watching
the varsity team play and
thinking that my senior year
seemed so far away, but now
it’s here! During these past
four years of high school, my
teammates and coaches have
instilled a work ethic in me that
I will carry with me into the
future. I have made lifelong
friends and have made tons of
memories I will never forget.
Volleyball has always been a
sport I love and cherish and I
can’t wait to see what this
season has in store for us.”
Tegan SHOCKLEY
“It’s hard to believe senior year has
come so quickly. There have been early
mornings, long days, tears, and injuries,
but mainly laughter. I have played with
the most dedicated, fun-loving group of
girls and I couldn’t be more excited to
take on this last season with them.
‘Together we win!’”
Jordan WOLFE
“Since I could hold a ball I have had a
volleyball in my hand. I would always go
with my mom to the gym and watch her
play and take the ball and hit it against the
wall. Volleyball has always been a big part
of my life; hard to believe this will be my
last year playing in high school. I have
overcome so many obstacles thrown my
way, had four surgeries and have four
screws in my left ankle but still manage
to keep pushing and playing the sport I
love! The friendships and the memories
that I have made at Camdenton High
School will be something I cherish for
many years to come. It will be hard to
say goodbye when the season ends.”

“One Team”
The Laker Soccer program would
like to say thank you to all those who
support it both during the season and
in the off-season. We would not be
where we are today without the
support, dedication, and hard work
of our administrators, numerous
parents, community supporters,
booster club, volunteers, and
students. The Camdenton Laker
Soccer program, entering its 18th
season, continues to establish itself
among the Conference and the newly
formed District. This is all possible
in large part because of the time and
effort put in by so many people who
you will not see roaming the sidelines
or playing on the field during a match.
Our main focus this year is “One
Team”. We see this as the core to
our existence this season. These two
words encompass everything that is
important to growing as a program.
This belief guides us in the way we
conduct ourselves on a day-to-day
basis - in our classrooms, our
practices, and our games. In regard
to relationships and achievements,
we aim for “One Team” to be our
focus. Our team will work each day
not only on soccer and the pursuit of
a District title, but also on making
quality decisions and life choices
that will make us successful,
accountable young men.
This year’s seniors, Cyric Banuelos,
Adam Davies, Justin Gerdiman,
Dustin Moesch , Dylan Pluth,
David Prather, Josiah Scheidemantle,
Cooper Short, and Luke Weber are
busy establishing their roles on the
team.
This year brings a couple of
changes in our program’s staff.
New head coach Mike Gow
brings 16 years of Ozark
Conference soccer experience.
He is busy sharing his
philosophy of the game and
what it means to be successful,
and finding the right players to
fill the team’s varsity roster.
Along with Coach Gow being
added to the staff, Patrick Dent
moves into an assistant position.
Coach Dent brings a passion
to coaching and developing
young men of character to the
program. Coach Dent will be
directing the junior varsity
program in addition to his
assistant varsity coaching duty.
Chris Byington is moving into
keeper training and working
with Coach Gow in guiding
the varsity team to continue
the success and effort put in
by former Head Coach Jason
Ingold, who has moved into an
administrative role with another
district.

“The guys realize that this is a
start-over year for them. I came
in with some knowledge of who
they are; but they need to work
to establish themselves as players
and young men to be counted
on. I was thrilled with the
Head Coach Mike Gow (center)
turnout this summer. We had good Assistant Coaches Chris Byington (right),
numbers each day of training, and
and Patrick Dent (left)
so quite a few of them had an idea
what I was looking for. I am excited
to continue my career here, and look
forward to helping our Lakers attain
their goals,” enthuses Coach Gow.

Dustin MOESCH
“Through the years of my high school soccer career, I have
dedicated myself to the program. It has definitely given back
to me through great experiences and new bonds opening up with
new people. I have put in countless hours to prepare for this
season and I’m ready to show it out on the field with my team.”
Dylan PLUTH
“I started playing soccer in fifth grade. I hope to keep playing
after high school.”
David PRATHER
Cyric BANUELOS
“I have played many sports in my lifetime and soccer has been
a very big part of my life. The team is great. I am happy that I
have them to support me in game and out of game. I don’t have
a favorite moment because every minute that I spend with the
team is my favorite, and I want to thank my coaches for the help
on the practice field and off. The Laker Soccer program and the
players are a family to me and Thank You!”
“Soccer has been a great experience.”
Josiah SCHEIDEMANTLE
Adam DAVIES
“I started my high school soccer career as an inexperienced goal
keeper. Through my hard work and dedication
to the sport I’ve improved to become the
player I am today. I’ve learned that hard work
will always create a better player than born
skill.”
Justin GERDIMAN
“Soccer has been a very influential part of my
life. It has been there for me in good times
and bad. It has taught me so much, from
patience and dedication to discipline and
leadership. It has shown me I can set goals
and with hard work and dedication I can
achieve and exceed them.
Last season we were able to get Coach Ingold
his 100th win as a coach here and it was very cool to be part of
that. I was also able to break the school goal-scoring record by
scoring 29 goals over the course of the season. That is one of my
greatest memories of my high school career and would not have
been possible without all of the support I have on and off the field.
The team has always been there to pick me up in my failures and
congratulate me during my successes. I have gained so many
close friends. My freshman year was such a great introduction
into the program and helped me build a strong foundation for my
next three years and on, both as an athlete and a man.
Right now I’m supporting my teammates from the sideline while
I recover from a knee injury, but I look forward to finishing the
year out strong! During this school year and season I will look
to improve myself in every way that I possibly can, and I will
search for a college home where I can continue to play soccer.”
“I played soccer all four years of high school. It was fun, and
the team was cool. As always, it’s a great day to be a Laker.”
Cooper SHORT
“I can’t believe it’s already senior year. It
still feels like just yesterday I was preparing
myself for my very first day of practice. This
sport has changed me. Freshman year I was
timid and quiet and now I am nothing like
that. It was always weird seeing seniors
graduate and move on. I never knew what
that would feel like until the start of this
season. One of my favorite games was
beating Rolla in Districts. I have loved every
second of my high school career. Seeing
the team grow is truly an amazing feeling.
This year our team is looking for the District
Championship. After high school I am looking
to go to the University of Missouri for Sports Medicine.”
Luke WEBER
“Throughout the past two seasons I have become good friends
with the upperclassmen and it was hard to loose them when they
left last year, but I think we took a lot of skills from them and will
come back from last season better. One of my favorite memories
from the upperclassmen has
to be when my older
brother Nick scored the
winning goal against Rolla
in Districts. As my soccer
career comes to an end, I
realize that I’m going to
miss all the guys and the
great coaches.”

2016 Ladies’ Golf Team
The Lady Laker Golf team is coming off their most
successful season in the history of Lady Laker Golf.
The 2015 Lady Lakers captured the Ozark Conference
Championship title, the District title and placed second
in the Sectional tournament. Their second place finish
in the Sectional tournament qualified the Lady Lakers
for the State tournament, which was a first for the Lady
Laker Golf program. After two days of playing in the
State tournament, the Lady Lakers finished eighth in
the state in Class 2. We also had a successful match
season as we finished with a 7-3 winning record.
Amber Wilson, Katie Bird, and Amber Theobald
earned Ozark Conference All-Conference honors.
Wilson, Bird, Theobald, and Jennah Schell were
named to the All-District team. Amber Wilson
achieved All-State honors at the State tournament.
Providing experience and leadership for our 2016 team
will be returning varsity players, juniors Jennah Schell
and Amber Wilson. Returning veteran golfers Emily
Hunter, Alyssa Dittman, and Brooke Mayer and new
golfer Allie Crowell will also help us this year as they
continue to gain experience as golfers. The Lakers
will host the Lady Laker Invitational Tournament at
Lake Valley Country Club again this year and look
to have a bigger and more competitive field of teams
participating as this tournament continues to grow.
A very competitive tournament schedule and a busy
match season are in store for us. Practice and play
will be at our home course of Lake Valley Country
Club, while also playing some of our matches at
other area golf courses. The Lady Laker Golf team
appreciates all the area golf courses that allow us to
practice, play, and make us feel welcome on their
golf courses.

2016 Lady Laker Softball
The Camdenton Softball team finished the 2015 season
with a record of 23-5 and a 7-2 second-place finish in
the Ozark Conference along with the program’s first
second-place finish in Districts. Despite losing three
decorated seniors (Bailey Bilyeu, Kelsei Davis, and
Madison Selby) who started almost every game since
their freshman year, the outlook for this year’s edition
of the Lady Laker Softball team is definitely a bright
one. We are very lucky to have so many athletic and
hardworking young ladies on our team who are
dedicated to the sport and who not only play high
school softball, but play travel ball all summer as well.
We return six starters from last year’s team and
eight varsity letter winners. We also have a good
group of freshmen coming into our program this year.
Returning this year are several players who were on
the All-Conference and All-District teams last year and
who should provide the Lady Lakers with experience
and leadership. Two of those very talented and
decorated young ladies are senior pitchers Kelly Uthe
and Kylee Compton. Both of these pitchers also play
shortstop and third base, respectively, and both were
All-Conference and All- District players, with Kelly
Uthe being named co-pitcher of the year in the Ozark
Conference. We return two other well-seasoned and
talented senior All-Conference and All-District players
in second baseman Kristyn Carpenter and first baseman
Erin Rasmussen. Those four seniors, when healthy,
have started every game since their freshman year and,
as captains and successful, experienced, decorated
players, will be looked to a great deal to help this team
achieve its lofty goals. Returning letter winners also
include juniors Bayley Miller, who is capable of playing
almost anywhere on the field, and Jillian Selander, who
was All-District and All-Conference as a freshman and
will once again be counted on to run down anything hit
to center and provide the lineup with speed on the bases.
Junior pitcher Lyndsay Boots adds pitching depth to a
very talented and deep pitching staff. Several of last
year’s talented freshman class will be counted on as
sophomores to step into key positions. Fayth Rakes
started behind the plate last season and provided the
Lady Lakers with a good receiver who possesses a
strong arm and a good bat. Haile Farris is another
sophomore who has a big bat and looks to play a major
role in the team’s success from the pitching circle and
in the field. Shelby Webster will also play a major
role for the Lady Lakers as she can play the corners
and possesses home run capability. Emma Uthe and
Sidney Jones are sophomores who were varsity letter
winners in the 2015 season and look to play prominent
roles in the team’s success in the 2016 season.
Sophomore Haley Wheat adds depth to our infield and
outfield and will supply a very experienced bat coming
off the bench. Senior Claudia Rogers, and sophomores
Autumn Reeves, Sasha Prather, and Dakota Weaver
add competition to the mix and work to make our
team that much stronger.
All in all, the outlook for the 2016 softball season
is very bright. Tyler Dinsdale, who has a wealth of
knowledge and experience, returns for his second
season as assistant coach and will coach the junior
varsity while also coaching first base and the outfield
for varsity. The 2016 edition of the Camdenton Softball
team does face several challenges, including competing
in the very tough Ozark Conference and working to win
the program’s first District title in a district that contains
traditional softball powerhouse Willard. These are
challenges that our young ladies and coaching staff
are looking forward to embracing and overcoming
with lots of hard work, talent, and luck.

Macie BOWLING
Claudia ROGERS
“Patience is a virtue!”
“I have been a part of this sport ever since my parents signed me up
for t-ball when I was around five years old. From t-ball to machine
pitch, then machine pitch to slow-pitch, and from slow-pitch to
fast-pitch. When playing a game for so long you get the opportunity
to move around on the field. I have gone from pitcher to third base
to catcher to first base to being in the outfield where I currently play.
Softball has always been a part of my life and I can thank my mom
for pushing me to continue on with it. I am so grateful that I get to
play on a field with such amazing and talented young ladies. Making
new friends and reconnecting with some old ones during my high
school career has definitely been one of my favorite parts about
being a part of this team. That, and Kristyn Carpenter dancing in
the middle of practices! Coach Calbert and Coach Davis have
impacted my life by believing in me when I struggle to believe
in myself. One thing I hope for the team this season is that we
fight as hard as we did last year and finish it out just as strong.”
Kristyn CARPENTER
“Softball has made a huge impact on my life. I have had the
opportunity to make lifelong friends, and have been able to share
many unforgettable memories with them. I want to thank all my
coaches, teammates, and my parents for pushing me to be the best
player that I can be on and off the field. But most importantly,
I want to thank God for placing softball into my life. I have been
very thankful and blessed. Once a Laker, always a Laker.”
Kylee COMPTON
“For the past twelve years, softball has been
one of the biggest parts of my life. Not a day
has gone by that I haven’t picked up a ball in
one way or another. I’ve met my best friends
who’ve became family. From all the summer
weekends and late school nights, and road
trips and bus rides, I’ve made memories I’ll
never forget. I’m so thankful for my family
who have helped me pursue the passion I
have for this sport. I also cannot give enough
thanks to the incredible coaches who have
pushed me to be the player and person I am
today. They say home is where the heart is, and I’ve found my home
to be on our field with my girls.
Ultimately, I’m so happy to have had
something that makes saying goodbye
so hard. So much love for my softball
family, and Go Lakers!”
Erin RASMUSSEN
“Softball has introduced me to some
of my best friends and so many great
opportunities.”
Kelly UTHE
“Playing softball has taught me many things that I will carry
throughout life. I have met a lot of new people and I have made
many memories and friendships that I’ll cherish forever. I want to
give a big thank you to my parents for spending the time and money
and encouraging me to become the best player that I could possibly
become. I also want to thank all the many coaches who have helped
me along the way. Time flies by, so something to remember: smile,
life is good.”

Boys’ Swim Team
“Yeah, the Lakers have a swim team!
I am excited to be part of the inaugural season for boys’ swimming. My name is
Anna Leezer and I am the head coach for the Camdenton boys’ swim team and the
assistant coach for the local swim club, Tridents. My involvement with swimming
began in order to feel comfortable having my daughter play on our dock and during
boating season. My family has been involved in swimming for nine years and it has
become an important part of our life. When the district decided to add a swim team,
I knew that I wanted to be part of the team’s maiden voyage!
The team is made up of a wide variety of athletes. Several have joined us from the
local club team, several others have had swim lessons in the past, one swam for
another high school, and others are just beginning to learn the sport. An exciting
part of our team are the students who are not involved in any other sport!
Laker swimmers will compete in 11 different events: 200m medley relay,
200m freestyle, 200m individual medley, 50m freestyle, 100m butterfly,
100m freestyle, 500m freestyle, 200m freestyle relay, 100m backstroke,
100m breaststroke, and the 400m freestyle relay. Swim meets will be held
in Springfield, Seymour, Monett, and Sedalia. Let’s go Lakers!”

something great and I’m
glad to be a part of it.”

“My name is Errin Gainey, varsity
cheer coach. Along with Lilli Shields,
JV coach, we are extremely excited for
another year with the program. I have
been with the program for five years
and am delighted to begin my sixth
year with the new varsity team. I am a

purple and gold. I was a Camdenton
cheerleader for six years and named All-American my senior year.
I am fortunate to be able to share my experience and passion for
the sport. Tryouts were held in April and we are thrilled to hit the
ground running with this new season.
The Laker Cheerleaders attended the National Cheerleaders
Association (NCA) summer camp. They learned new cheers,
chants, and stunts. The staff was really great with the girls and

helped them learn a variety of new skills you are sure to see. The
girls have pushed themselves as they strive for nothing but the best.
We are preparing for the State Fair Spirit Classic Nationals, in
Sedalia, Missouri. This requires several extra hours of work
and I want to thank the parents for their support. It takes a lot
of dedication from all of us and I am looking forward to watching
the girls perform. We are even looking into doing another
competition this year and anticipate great success for this
year’s routine.
I am eager to begin the new season and I’m looking forward to
working with the girls and making it the best year yet. Again,
extreme thanks to the parents, booster club, and school district
for all their support. We couldn’t do it without you.”
Cheers!! Go Lakers!!!
A
s the Laker Dance team coaches, we are really enthusiastic about the
upcoming year! We have added five new freshmen who have lots of
energy, skill, and technique. Adding these new girls to an already
existing group of talent is going to make for an amazing team.
Dance Team
Coaches:
This summer, the Laker Dance team hosted a National Dance Alliance (NDA) camp
where they learned a variety of routines to perform at football and basketball games.
During camp, they earned a blue “Superior” ribbon for their team dance, as well as
many ribbons for individual performances. Not only did the team earn an invitation
to the NDA National Championships, they also received invitations to four other
varsity special events.

LAKER CROSS COUNTRY - “Gettin’ Better One Day at a Time”
A famous quote in sports goes
something like this: “If you want
something you’ve never had, you
must do something you’ve never
done”.
This is certainly true for the
sport of cross country. Distance
running is the perfect sport for
those seeking to reach a goal that,
quite frankly, most people don’t
think is possible. To be able to
run miles and miles takes courage,
fortitude, and sacrifice. It is with
these qualities and goals in mind
that the 2016 team embarks upon
its journey.
This year’s squad is quite different
from years past. Gone are the
largest graduating class that we
have had in 14 seasons, State and
Sectional qualifiers, and school
record holders. The new team is
filled with plenty of new faces
and untapped abilities. So to
say that we will be young and
inexperienced, well… that’s really
true. However, there are a few
returning runners who I hope
will lead our squad in reaching
our goals for the upcoming season.
Returning seniors are Nick
Salsman, Coleman Roberts, and
Raleigh Johns. These seniors have
several years of experience among
them as Coleman has been with
the program for four years and
Nick and Raleigh, three years
each. Although this is not the
most talented group of seniors I
have had, their leadership and the
high expectations I have for them
haven’t changed. Sophomore
Garrett Mason returns for his
second year after a great freshman
season along with a quality track
season. Garrett has some real
talent and could be a leader in
terms of time for our squad as
expectations are quite high for
him. On the girls’ side, Erika
Nevins, Haley Green, and Sarah
Ketchum return as sophomores.
These girls showed steady
improvement last year and
should continue to help our
squad. Many of the new faces
include seniors Katherine Miller
and Hannah Bentley. Hannah is
back after taking some time away
from running and Katherine is a
real hard worker. There are also
some freshmen who will have
an impact on our team this year,
including Andrew Dibello,
Hanna Lehner, and Kelby Virtue.
So while this is probably one
of the youngest teams we have
ever had, I am still excited about
molding these runners into great
athletes who know how to go the
extra mile. Cross Country is not
a sport for anyone, it’s a sport for
everyone. Everyone, that is, who
desires to achieve a goal through
hard work, determination, and
sacrifice.

Nick SALSMAN
“Cross Country… I haven’t always done XC, in fact if it had not been for Coach Weber during track I wouldn’t
have known about it. My sophomore year I had no idea what I was getting into. I found out pretty quickly that
this sport takes so much commitment; running every day is what we do. This sport has taught me more about
myself than any other sport could and it has led to things I’ll never forget, like running the L.A. Marathon this
past winter, meeting new people, and creating lasting memories. I am forever grateful for this sport and the
people and experiences I have gained from it.”
