It’s Friday! The undefeated Lake Wales High School varsity football team is scheduled to play the Sebring Blue Streaks tonight at Fireman’s Field in Sebring at 7:30 PM, Sept. 13.
Three games into the season, Sebring will show up tonight with two wins, and one loss so far. Last week’s game against Clewiston resulted in a win for them, 51 to 7.
The Highlanders, who are 3-0 for the season thus far, won against Auburndale last week with the final score of 23 to 0.
LWHS Head Coach, Tavaris Johnson, commented on expectations this week.
“It’s, of course, good to be undefeated right now. It gives confidence; it helps with having that momentum that you like to have going in against a good opponent, a tough opponent like Sebring. We’re excited, I know they’re excited. It’s their homecoming, and we know they’re playing for more than just a win this week.
“I think three keys to this week, what will determine success tonight is to be up front; offensive line needs to dominate. I believe every game is determined in the trenches. We just need to be able to come in and find rhythm early. Our key players need to be a force tonight.
“Sebring has two good interior defensive linemen, probably the best we’ve seen all season. I think we’ve got to improve on our third down conversions and not leave points on the field tonight. The margin is very small tonight for errors. We need to lead on three levels: offensively, defensively, and special teams.”
