Mr. LHS brings in crowd, cash

Senior Will Wilson won the 2017 Mr. LHS competition Nov. 3, in the LHS auditorium, achieving one of his lifetime goals
  “I’ve been watching Mr. LHS since I was in fourth grade,” said Wilson, who also serves as LHS Associated Student Body president.  “ Since the first time I’ve watched, I’ve wanted to do it.”
  Wilson won a $50 dollar gift card to Happy Day Corp., a Hot Shots gift card, cash, free bowling cards, a $50 dollar movie gift card, and duck hunting gear.
 Senior Marshall Fisher won first runner-up. Fisher, who has played many lead roles in LHS drama productions, won a Hot Shots gift card, movie theater gift card, bowling gift card, and cash.
  Fisher also won “all the ladies,” he joked.
  Second runner-up went to Troy Ahlers, a senior football player.
  “It’s just fun, getting to hang out with everyone and it›s a good way to start off my senior year” said Ahlers of this opportunity.
 Heidi Hagen, the head cheerleading coach, coordinates Mr. LHS with the help of the cheerleaders.  
  “The cheerleaders were able to raise about $4,500, not including any of the gifts the guys received,” Hagen explained. “The community was very generous.”
 Mr. LHS had five different categories of competition for its 17 contestants including  fitness, swimwear, talent, spirit, composure and interviews. Judges selected two final winners for each category:
  Fitness: Ahlers, Will Wilson.
  Swimwear: Ahlers, Fisher,
  Talent: Spencer Hunt, Wilson
 Spirit: Jackson Fuller, Lane Scott
   The event provided fun for the contestants as well as the audience. “[I enjoyed] getting to see all the guys step out of their comfort zone and perform all their unique and funny talents,” said Olivia Bergen, sophomore.
