Lyons Township High School is proud to announce 8 current seniors (Class of 2025) received the honor of National Merit Scholarship Finalist. These students represent less than 1 percent of the nation’s high school graduating seniors.
To qualify as a finalist and receive one of the scholarships, National Merit Semifinalists must submit a detailed application, including an essay and recommendation from a high school official. The selection process involves evaluating substantial amounts of information about Finalists obtained from both students and their high schools. Included are the Finalist’s academic record (course load and difficulty level, depth and breadth of subjects studied, and grades earned); PSAT/NMSQT® scores; the student’s essay; demonstrated leadership and contributions to school and community activities; and the school official’s written recommendation and characterization of the Finalist.
Congratulations to LTHS students and National Merit finalists:

16u Black finished 26-10-2 with a tourney championship. Final finish, a final four finish, and a final 32 out of nearly 500 teams. A team full of characters that can check any list a coach can ask for. A few good men.
Joey Gainer (‘25, FL) knocks a single just beyond third base. When he can get out in front, he uses most of his power to the pull-side, displaying good extension. Finished 2-3. #WWBA
Tucker King (‘25, IL) shined in a much-needed Cangeloski Sparks victory. CG, 1 ER, 0 BB, 6 Ks. His 6-3 frame and body control give him good pitchability. It’s a 2-pitch mix with a FB in the mid-80s w/ sink. Secondary pitch is a mid-70s BB w/ hard, 2-plane bite that tunnels well. #WWBA
Zach Bava (‘25, IL) has a short, compact swing to the ball w/ high exit velocity and a gap-to-gap approach. He repeats a smooth left-handed swing w/ ease and rhythm, spraying this line drive the opposite way. #WWBA
Myles Schwartz (‘25, IL) hits a game-tying single to ignite a Cangeloski Sparks comeback. Big leg kick and loud contact at the plate. Does a good job getting extended and putting the barrel on the ball. #WWBA
Joey Gainer (‘25 IL) lines this ball into LF for a barreled up single. Head stays level through the swing, not wasting any movement. Explodes with the lower half. #WWBA@PG_Illinois
Zach Brava (‘25 IL) rips this ball into the LF corner for a 2B, scoring 2. Nice balance going down to get this ball below the zone and stays on it w/ the front foot staying strong. #WWBA@PG_Illinois
