Cell Tower update:

The first new Verizon cell service improvement is on track to be up and running by the end of the year.  The small cell site at Lake Shore Plaza is moving forward and permits are applied for.   

The Woods Road tower is moving forward and is expected to be completed in 2020.  Also an additional site is in the works for Magothy Bridge Road.  

These can’t happen soon enough!

Parents~
  Moving forward and staying on task with all the Little League organizations in Anne Arundel County, Lake Shore Baseball has decided to change the birth date cut-off.  Above are the birth date ranges which utilize the 8/31 birthdate cutoff.  They are the new Little League dates that are already in effect.  They coincide with the school year which is actually, our main reason for making the change so kids in the same school grade/year will play together. 

Thank you for your support in making this transition possible!

I am pleased to announce that this year’s Lake Shore Youth Baseball scholarship recipient is Reed Matkins. Reed has played baseball for over 10 years, playing travel baseball on the Lake Shore Graysox and striving all the way to Varsity on his high school team. Reed is a perfect example of a “Scholar Athlete” making Principals Honor Roll, as well as being selected as Chesapeake High School Athlete of the Month.  Reed was also team captain of both JV and Varity for the high school Basketball and Baseball teams. Reed has been accepted to Shepperd University, where he plans to study Elementary Education. Please help me congratulate Chesapeake Senior Reed Matkins!
