SIEFKE DOUBLES DOWN ON ALL-STATE SELECTIONS
LISBON, OH- It wasn’t long ago that Lisbon senior Trevor Siefke earned 1st Team All-State in football and Academic All-Ohio by The Ohio High School Football Coaches Association (OHSFCA), and now he has done it again with state honors in basketball. Siefke has earned All-State basketball honors for three consecutive years. He has also been named Academic All-Ohio by the Ohio High School Basketball Coaches Association (OHSBCA). Siefke is only the second student in Lisbon’s history to receive state basketball honors for three consecutive years.
Coach Chris Huckshold has been Siefke’s longtime coach and remarks, “Trevor’s level of play on the court and dedication to his academics make him a great leader on our team on and off the court. There is no better deserving nominee for this award,” He continues, “I’ve seen Trevor grow as a kid and as a player. I’ve coached him since he was in 4th grade and so he is more than just a basketball player, he is a good person and a well-rounded individual going out into the world. I am proud of him.”
The All-State recognition and Academic All-Ohio awards are based on Siefke’s accomplishments on the court and in the classroom. The qualifications for Academic All-Ohio nominees are arduous requiring a 3.6 GPA or higher and All-State recognition to be considered. DAHS High School Principal, Keith Edenfield, explains, “To receive one of these awards is commendable, but to receive All-State honors and Academic All-Ohio honors in multiple sports is truly incredible. DAHS is proud to have Trevor represent Lisbon at a state level in both football and basketball. Trevor is the epitome of a student-athlete.”
For his part, Siefke says, “It’s an honor to be part of Lisbon’s history. There is no other school that I would rather be a part of and make history for.” He credits his dad (Lisbon Schools Superintendent Joe Siefke) and his teammates for his success saying, “My Dad has always played a big part in motivating me to take the next step. My teammates have helped me throughout all four years and I couldn’t have done it without them.”
Siefke’s historic basketball career includes All-State honors for three consecutive years including Honorable Mention All-State for his sophomore and junior years and Special Mention All-State for this year.
