Wolves seek revenge
A heartbreaking loss in the Class 6A title game left Lake Hamilton hungry for more in 2021. The Wolves project to be back in the hunt for a championship this season and are prepared to pull out all stops to take the crown. “Making it to War Memorial Stadium was my favorite football memory I’ve made, by far,” senior defensive end Zach Roberts said. “The adrenaline rush when the lights hit you, plus being around all your brothers, is the most satisfying feeling you could ever imagine.” Returning to the big dance isn’t always easy — it requires unrivaled grit and tenacity. Roberts says that losing the big game has only motivated the team to work harder, and he and his gridiron brothers are ready to rise to the challenge this season. “Our team’s goal is to be [undefeated] like the ’72 Dolphins,” Roberts said. “We will achieve this goal by working
10 times harder than whoever is against us. I want to win and do as much as I can for my teammates. By being one of the most consistent players on the field, my brothers will know that when I am out there, the job will be done.” “Zach works harder than anyone else on the team,” said Lake Hamilton Head Coach Tommy Gilleran. “He started every game at defensive end last season, is always helping others and is an all-around great kid. I expect him to be an all-conference player this year.” STEVEN PROUDLY SPONSORED BY
