RB/DB- Gavin Roberts
RB/LB- Caden Cuozzo

  1. Good luck, CHIEFS in “25”

    As a former player and a proud alumni of Lakeland, high school, my words of advice for all of your players is never look in the rearview mirror always keep moving forward learn from the past, but create new memories going forward.
    Always believe in yourself and your teammates that’s the only way you’re going to succeed in this game of football as a team.
    As you all know, Lakeland historically is no stranger to championships. It’s time that you bring them back, but not just winning a championship, but do it in a dominant fashion.

    The year of the Chiefs is upon us are you ready?

    As legendary former Head Coach Jerry Wasilchak
    Would always say to the team
    “GOTTA BELIEVE “
    Never forget these words

    GOD
    FAMILY
    LAKELAND FOOTBALL

    Think like a Champion
    Practice like a Champion
    WIN LIKE A CHAMPION
    GO CHIEFS !!!

    P.S
    I want to break out my paint brushes to add to my artwork on the field house of the championship football wall.

    Help put my brushes to work !!

    “We believe in you “
    DO YOU ???
