Outlook: Lakewood is one of the relatively few teams that have been able to provide a challenge from time to time for LB Poly in the Moore League. This year appears to be another one of those years. The Lancers return 1st All-Moore League selections at QB (Jesse Scroggins), RB (Alex Fletcher), and WR (Kevin Anderson). They will have good depth at linebacker and in the secondary, but replacing quality players on the offensive and defensive lines will be among the biggest challenges. A 9-1 JV team from 2007 will help fill some of those gaps.
