LAKELAND – Lakeland's return of several starters has the Chiefs focused on defending their District 2 Class 2A championship title. The team held two-a-day practices indoors as heavy rain fell, maintaining their efforts despite the limited space. Lakeland will face Schuylkill Haven in a scrimmage on Saturday at 10 a.m. and open the regular season at home against Holy Cross on Aug.

Loomis, a college prospect, demonstrated his athletic abilities with a 4.69 40-yard dash time at a summer college combine. Senior Cole Hastings, who enters his fourth season as a starter at tackle, stressed the importance of teamwork in building each other up.
Junior Luke McFarland, a primary target in the passing game, aims to impact the defense. All three players emphasize holding each other and themselves accountable to achieve success.
