This past Friday, the Varsity Football team concluded the regular season by defeating Milford, 14-7. With the victory, the Eagles earned a playoff spot, and as announced this weekend, we'll have a repeat event as Lakeland will again be hosting Milford this Friday in the opening round of the MHSAA playoffs.

After scoring on a short field on its opening drive, Milford was held scoreless the rest of the way by Lakeland's defense. Then the Eagles' offense kicked into gear late in the 2nd half on touchdowns by Travis Tschudin and Carter Travis, the latter the culmination of a critical, time-consuming drive late in the 4th quarter. The Eagles even converted a 4th and 1 deep in Milford territory to keep the ball as long as possible.
