-JB-’s Perpetual Journey

Lakeland High School won the FL state 5A title the last 3 years in a row (2004-06) and were National 5A champs the last two years (2005-06).  Well, as of Friday November 23rd, our Varisity football season is officially over. We lost in the second round of the Florida state playoffs, 22-7. The season was awesome: the head coach racked up his 300th win; we broke the Florida high school record by winning 53 consecutive regular-season games; we were ranked 18th in the nation according to ESPN’s Elite 25 for most of the year. Even our JV team went undefeated for the 3rd straight year and won the district title. The program at this school is simply incredible. Now that the season is over, the training for next year has begun. I’ve started taking a few of the up-and-coming ’stars’ to the weight room for a little fun. We train after school specifically for their advancement in football. Here’s a few pics of the football weight room:

Not trying to brag here; I’m just proud that the next generation of athletes are putting their all into making themselves more complete players instead of doing stupid crap and getting in trouble. Many of these guys come from broken homes and/or poverty, so to see them step up like this is truly amazing. Watch for ‘em next year…
