Friday, Oct. 23, Lakeland High School
Lakeland held its senior night, honoring its seniors before its contest against Brewster.
The game itself was tied 7-7 at halftime, but the Bears broke away in the second half for a 42-7 victory.
“It was not the way we wanted to finish the regular season,” said Lakeland coach Ryan Shilling. “Brewster played a great game. We missed on some early opportunities, and it really came back to haunt us.”
Louis Murray (2 tackles), Anthony Ray (captain, 3 receptions, 13 yards, 3 rushes, 15 yards, 2 tackles), Mike Lucia (captain, 5 receptions, 64 yards, TD, 10-yard run, 7 tackles), Mike Zumatto (captain, 9 rushes, 45 yards, 2 tackles), Pat Gibson (1 tackle), Prince Kumi-Mensah, Luca Pagano, Justin Zumbo (captain), and Frank Veca were the seniors honored before the game.
“I’m still extremely proud of this team and the senior class especially,” Shilling said. “It’s a small group of nine but they have given me everything they’ve had for four years and they have accomplished a lot. Earning the opportunity to host a home playoff game is something they have worked extremely hard for. We play Rye next Friday or Saturday (TBD). Rye is one of the best programs in all of New York State. I know the seniors will bounce back like they have always done and give it their all next weekend.”
