Lake ___________________________ Lake found dead Former Lakeview coach respected by his colleagues By DON STRECKER, Telegram Sports Editor COLUMBUS -- Lakeview High School Superintendent Kurt Harrison called him "one of the most respected teachers." Lakeview teaching and coaching colleague Tom Lange and athletic director Doug Moss marveled at his organization. Scotus Central Catholic coach John Petersen considered him "a true gentleman." All of those things and more described Lakeview's Bob Lake, who was found dead in his home Tuesday morning. The former teacher and coach was 55. Services are 10:30 a.m. Friday at Trinity Lutheran Church at Columbus. Visitation will be 2-8 p.m. Thursday at Gass Haney Funeral Home in Columbus and 9:30-10:30 a.m. Friday at the church. Besides teaching and coaching, Lake also was involved in other outdoor activities, such as running, cycling and climbing. "He was a pretty hardcore runner until he started to get chronic back trouble," Lange said. "He took care of himself, which was the biggest thing." "I think that's what makes it shocking for everyone," Petersen said. "He was in great shape ... and he really enjoyed life." Lake taught and coached at Lakeview for 23 years before retiring at the end of last school year. His teaching load was in biology and physiology, and Harrison said Lake also had a class in weight training. "Whenever (graduates) would come back to the school, the one teacher they wanted to see was Mr. Lake, especially if they were in college and majoring in his area," Harrison said. "He was a real tough teacher, but he was also the most respected." Respect for Lake carried over to the athletic arena. He was a head coach in track and field and an assistant coach for football during his tenure at Lakeview, but his greatest success came in girls basketball. Lake was the girls basketball coach for 19 years, compiling a 217-144 mark before stepping down at the end of the 1997-98 season. "He was a tremendous organizer, one of most organized people I've ever seen," said Lange, who worked with Lake for 21 years at the school. "Everything was detailed, all the way down to how to handle certain things." He coached the Viqueens to all five of their state tournament appearances, including their very first in 1981. He also led Lakeview teams to state in 1984, '89, '90 and '91. The lone Lakeview victory in those five appearances came in 1990 when the Viqueens defeated Centura 44-40 before losing to Lincoln Pius X 54-43 in the semifinals. Their last state appearance ended on a last-second shot in a 46-44 loss to Lexington. "He was pretty amazing. He was a great coach," said Kara (Kapels) Greisen, who played on the 1990 and 1991 state tournament teams. "He was very motivational. He knew how to get kids to do what they needed to do." He also knew how to deal with the players' parents, which made things much easier for the athletic director, Moss said. "He was pretty black and white. The kids and the parents knew what to expect," Moss said. "He wasn't wavering, which I appreciated. They couldn't complain because they knew what to expect. "He was so successful as a girls basketball coach. It's a tough loss for the community." Lake's success in girls basketball was no more evident than in the Columbus Holiday Tournament. He coached in 16 tournaments, leading the Viqueens to the title five times. Of the first 14 tournaments, Lakeview or Scotus won the girls title 12 times. Petersen said Scotus' games with Lakeview were always tough with Lake on the Viqueens' bench. "He won with dignity, and he lost with dignity," said Petersen, who stepped down as Scotus' head girls basketball coach one year after Lake called it quits at Lakeview. "He was creative. He always had a new gimmick, and his kids always played hard for him. "Playing against his teams was lot of fun, and the crowds were always really good. I felt Bob and I had a great relationship. He was a great guy and a good friend." Lake was the head girls track and field coach and took over the boys track program in 1997 after boys coach Larry Whiting retired. Lange said Lake was very competitive, an aspect of him that only people who were around him a lot could see. "He was low key, but he was a very intense person," Lange said. "He could keep it under wraps. He had good control of it, but he was a very intense coach. You could just see it. That's the part I'm going to miss the most." | Lake, Robert William (I7288)
