Here we are in the second round of the CIF playoffs. I personally didn't think we would get this far. Don't get me wrong, my son goes to Lakewood and I support them all the way, but with the way they've played this season I really didn't think we would make it past the first round of the playoffs. The first round, which I missed due to having a severe sinus infection, was against Servite at Cerritos College. That game ended at 35-34 with a victory for Lakewood and brought our next game home. There was a lot of talk about Mission Viejo's quarterback and how good he was, but our defense came ready to play and played hard football. The penetrated the line and put a lot of pressure on Mission Viejo's quarterback. Offense started off slow but picked it up in the second half and dominated the field. I can't wait till next week when we meet Poly for the second time this season. I do feel it's necessary to say "Stand by Poly, Lakewood is a different team then when we met the first time"

I always try to get some decent shots of the quarterback during a game. I was able to get some nice shots of Mission Viejo's quarterback but not too many of Lakewood's.

"The Coach"

This shot was taken just prior to kickoff and thought it was a great look. It says it all about the competition and what it takes to manage and get a team to this stage. See in next week in the semi-finals against Poly.
