Disbelief!


Probably not where you thought I was going with that title. This is actually about our Lakeland High School Dreadnaughts football team. After squeezing past Ridge Community High in double OT last week to break the State record for consecutive victories, the Dreadnaughts lost Friday night to the Kissimmee Osceola Kowboys (so much for spelling, hey it's just a high school)25-21. Lakeland hadn't lost a game since losing in the first round of the playoffs to Hillsborough High in 2003! Hopefully this is a wake-up call for the boys as they start their bid for a FOURTH consecutive State title in 2 weeks. As for the title of this post, you could put the following picture next to it in the dictionary.


One thing I know is that their Assistant Coach and Team Chaplain George Williams will keep their heads on straight. He's an amazing man we had the privilege of hearing speak at Journey a few months back. He'll keep their eyes on the ultimate goal while coaching them on towards this temporal goal. Coach Williams got our congregation going that's for sure. You barely hear a peep out of 'em most Sundays but when he was there the air was filled with Amen's and Hallelujah's! Though a bit comical at the time, I loved it and pray that God fills our people to this point of overflowing praise more often!

and you know who was their last loss before that? a few weeks before that playoff game to GJHS. that's right, at our home, 10,000 strong, and a few hundred stormed the field after, and I was the third over the fence. I'll never forget it, the first and last time GJ has ever beat Lakeland, and on my senior year.
Go Eagles!
