The Lakers will definitely be in a rebuilding mode after graduating 13 seniors this past year. However, the cupboard is far from bare. Austin Smiddy will take over full time at quarterback. Jordan Ratcliff an all district running back from East Carter has transferred in and should carry much of the load at RB. I also expect big seasons from Wes Fletcher and Brandon Meyer. Then there is TE/DE Nick Coffey who will end up being the most highly recruited player we have ever had. Nick has a few D1 offers now and is being recruited by schools out of both the SEC and Big 10. Outside of Pulaski County, the schedule looks manageable. I expect the Lakers to have a good season with a similar record to the last few years. They should be in the hunt for another district title.
