Four members of the Clear Lake Lions baseball team have been honored as members of the Class 2A All-District Teams.

“I was happy to see coaches reward our players for their body of work throughout the season, playing a very difficult schedule and having to produce those numbers against better pitching and teams than most other teams in Class 2A face.  Very few teams had more kids represented as All-District, even though many teams had better records,” said Clear Lake Coach Seth Thompson.

A Clear Lake freshman has been named to the Iowa Girls Coaches Association All-State lists.

Infielder Julia Merfeld  was selected for the Class 3A Third Team All-State.

Merfeld played in 14 NCC games, during which the Lions went 6-8.  She averaged .456 at the plate, with 26 hits.  Her fielding percentage was .855.

In an age when few “summer cottages” dot the lakeshore, Pat Liddle Baehr proudly carries on a family summer tradition.

Pat has been spending her summers at Clear Lake’s Outing Club for 80 years and has owned her own cottage for 39 years.

Pat’s family roots in Clear Lake trace back to her grandmother,  Ethel Moore, who grew up here beginning in 1873, but her history at the Outing Club begins with her parents, David and Sally Liddle.
