Mercer County came into Laker Stadium ready to play! They are a VERY well coached team! The no huddle stuff seemed to have the Laker defense out of sorts...many times the Lakers were shifting defensively when the ball was being snapped! The Lakers just seemed to be snake bit the first half. Everything that could go wrong did! Ellis got caught on the one yard line on the interception return only to have Britt fumble on the goal line ( not sure why you don't qb sneak a few times to pick up a yard). The touchdowns called back on penalties!!! As a fan you just had a bad feeling from the beginning of the game....by the fourth quarter you thought that they just might find a way to pull out a victory but they fell just short.
I am really proud of the season that the Lakers have had! I believe the next couple seasons could be really special! However, the Lakers are going to have to get bigger and stronger on the offensive and defensive lines. They also need to develop some depth in those positions so that 3/5th of your starting line doesn't have to play the entire game. If the Lakers will make a commitment to putting in the work as players and coaches starting now they have the potential to double those total playoff wins next season! Win or lose you better believe...I will be there cheering them on
