Southwest Laker Football Tops Washburn after 26 years.

 

October 7, 1988 was the last time a Southwest Laker Football team was victorious over Washburn.

Fast Forward 26 years -- On October 10, 2014 Southwest Laker Football defeated Washburn at its homecoming on its field 14-13.

Over the years the rivalry experienced its highs and lows.  Sometimes the emotions overcame common sense and silliness was a sad part of the events.  In many years the neighborhood match up was bragging rights for an entire next year and was part of of growing up.

This year's game was highly attended and a close game right to the finish.  It was high school sports at its best.  Friday night lights, big crowd, cheering and all the celebration and suffering that is a part of the competitive event.

The behavior of both crowds was within the bounds of sportsmanship.  It was a high spirited game, full of excitement and emotion.  It was a great football game.

Congratulation Lakers!  We are thrilled to be back in the winning column.
