Lakewood will be defending their home turf for the first time on Friday when they go up against Mayfair at 7:00 PM. The MaxPreps rankings say the odds are against Lakewood, but that can only make success all the sweeter.
Lakewood had to kick off their season with an away game, and unfortunately wound up with a long bus ride home. They found themselves the relunctant recipients of an unpleasant 2-28 punch to the gut against Windermere Prep last Thursday. Lakewood were in a tough position by the half, with the score sitting at 0-21.
Meanwhile, Mayfair had enough points to win and then some against California last week, winning 39-21.
Mayfair's win lifted them to 2-0 while Lakewood's loss dropped them down to 0-1. We'll find out if Mayfair can add another positive mark to their record or if Lakewood can shake off the loss and take the spring out of Mayfair's step.
