Seriously, how did that person get underneath the police vehicle? Video doesn't lie, that person got ran over; but, I want to see how the person found themselves laying between the front and back wheels of a police vehicle. 🤔
After over 3 decades of coaching at Lakes High School in Lakewood, Washington, head coach Dave Miller will be inducted into the Washington State Football Coaches Association's Hall of Fame.💪🏼 Congrats. 🥳

Y'all dreamin' if u think an NCAA Division I program is goin' to offer a 2.3 GPA LL an athletic scholarship. If u can't handle high school courses, how can u handle collegiate courses & football participation? Be Better off the field will earn u an opportunity on the field. 🤔

No one should be surprised by the dominance of Lincoln Football & Lincoln athletics. It takes discipline to lift weights & work out at 5:30 am. That discipline shows up on/off the field & in the classrooms. Congrats Football & Hoops (boys & girls).

It’s time to recognize the greatness of Rome, Jalen, and Jalynn’s Husky careers.
Rome finished his Husky career 2nd in career catches, 2nd in career yards, and 3rd in career TDs.
Jalen finished his Husky career 5th in career catches, 6th in career yards, and 8th in career TDs.
Some wait to be great. Some will never accept the greatness of others and that's why they Grind to be better. Lakes' Daeshawn Wayne

I'd like to see Linebacker Dre Sio-Fetaui (Lincoln '25) gain more exposure, notoriety & recognition. 🤔 Hopefully, he'll get some attention if he gets an invitation to Saturday Night Lights @ the UofOregon. 💪🏾

@CoachShoeCWU
Please support Simon Fraser University Football's OL No. 77 Maliq Washington (Lakes '21) and the SFU Football program as the fight for fair treatment in the business of collegiate football continues. ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻
Earn your athletic scholarship by making your dream a reality—put in the work on the field and in the classroom. Congratulations pending Georgetown University's Daeshawn Matthews-Wayne.

Congrat to No. 4 Devon Nofoa-Masoe (2022), 6'0"/200 lbs, RB/LB on being named the Overall Player of the Game versus Stadium.
Offensive Stats:
8 Carries for 71 Total Rushing Yards; 4 Rushing TDs; 1 Receiving TD; 149 Total All Purpose Yards
Defensive Stats:
5 Solo Tackles
High school athletes with stellar GPAs often overlook Division III programs. Here's why they shouldn't:
National Recognition: Earning All-American honors holds prestige regardless of NCAA division.
Scholarship Powerhouse: Your exceptional GPA could translate into a full ride.
Dorien Simon, Lakes: The senior won the 100 & 200-meter events @ the Class 3A state meet last year, clocking in @ 10.56 and 21.50 seconds, respectively. Also the team’s anchor in the 400-meter relay. A 4.0 student, Simon is headed to Stanford in the fall.
Yeah, another LL is making the drive to the Palouse. Rafi is a Running Start student & exceptional baseball player too. The kind of student-athlete that'll excel at Wazzu.
Congratulations to No. 20 Leo Pulalasi for being selected as the Overall Lakes Football Player of the Game.
10 carries for 142 yds, 3 TDs, 1 reception for 11 yds, 1 two-point PAT, 7 tackles, and 2 tackles for losses
Exactly. It'd be difficult to abuse your authority in your residential community without your community's contempt. Law enforcement officers should live in the communities that they patrol. I believe the same requirements should include educational principals & teachers.
With collegiate football nothing is given, everything is earned academically & athletically. Lakes' No. 56 JJ Niuamoa is workin' for opportunities on & off the field.

Here's the kicker: graduate university with dual degrees (2 bachelors' or a bachelor's & a master's) & collegiate debt under $10K. 💪🏻💪🏼💪🏽💪🏾💪🏿🤑

I loved when my players brought their siblings to practice. I put them to work helping the team. At the end of the year banquet, family members were honored for their assistance to the program. Build a strong and supportive community one simple act at a time. 🤫
U.S. Air Force Col. David Morales, vice commander of the 62d Airlift Wing, is coined by Jermaine Kearse (Lakes '08), Seattle Seahawks wide receiver, from 2012-2016 & a member of the Super Bowl 48 championship team, at JBLM, Washington, Sept. 20, 2022.
Although Jayden Wayne is a Lincoln Abe, 🤫 his brother is a Lakes alum, Daeshawn Matthews-Wayne (Lakes C/O 2019). 🥳 The siblings of LLs may not always attended Lakes; but I'll always support the families from the LL community. 😎
Congrats to Jayden Wayne and his family. 🤓

Lincoln is the first Tacoma Public School to reach the state semifinals since the Marcus Trufant-led Wilson Rams in 1998. And yes, the Abes have the support of the former Pro Bowler.

I advise WA high school players to attend WA's Running Start Program, graduate HS & JUCO concurrently. At university, after 3 years of football participation, not being a 1 or a 2, graduate early, enter the transfer portal & gain a 1 slot at the FBS/FCS or DII level.
I may not always agree with high school coaches & their philosophies; but, I rarely question their dedication to the game & the kids. 😏
If some parents aren't careful, good high school coaches may be as rare as good high school referees & local high school sportswriters. 😉
Lots of dedicated coaches, ADs and volunteers out at "The Arena" at the WA State Fairgrounds constructing three basketball courts for 4A SPSL/3A PCL play starting Wednesday.
A truly unbelievable development given two weeks ago, there was no Phase 2-play plan. Read

As a parent, when you realize that the average annual cost for your teen to attend university will exceed $49K/year, consider investing in specialty training before your teen gets to college, Running Start, ACT/SAT prep courses & activities training.
Pay now or pay later. 😏🤑

In the middle of a sled drill, Bobby Wagner thrills Seahawks fans at training camp day 6.
One boy holding a football and pen yelled: “Bobby! You sign my ball I’ll get you a date with my mom!”
Wagner turned back and smiled.

Ford Sports Performance is 'bout straight up business when it comes to maximize sports performance. 🤓 That's Benning Potoa'e (Lakes C/O 2015). Time to put another Lakes Lancer alum in the NFL. 💪🏾
If y'all need a reason to go to class, if y'all need a reason to study, if y'all need a reason to earn above-average GPAs, Lincoln's Jaylen Clark has over 39,158 reasons for gaining an athletic scholarship (worth over $39,158) from Boise State University.
