LAKE PLACID — The Lake Placid football team faces a tough road test this week as the Green Dragons hope to reverse course and steal a victory from Class 2A-District 5 foe St. Pete Catholic.

LAKE PLACID - For Jamar Sanchious, Friday night's game at Lake Placid couldn't have started any better. For the Green Dragons, it couldn't have gotten much worse. The junior tailback scored on his first and only two touches of the game -- both from more than 50 yards out -- as Mulberry ran all over Lake Placid 58-0 in a Class 2A-District 5 meeting at Roger Scarborough Field. ...more

LAKE PLACID — Familiarity breeds respect. First-year Lake Placid football coach Tim Grant knows the Green Dragons have their hands full in tonight's Class 2A-District 5 game.
