Last year, LFC’s girls track and field finished third to Lake City and D-E at the Section 1A True Team meet. Two years ago, they finished second to Lake City. Three years ago, they finished fourth. With a second, a third, and a fourth the past three years, a first just made sense. Jared Pierce and staff saw their girls (866.5) slip past Lake City (848.5), D-E (844.5), RPH … [Read more...]

The ‘Canes led 15-8 after 6 ½. In M-C’s … [Read more...]
