LAFAYETTE ENTERS THE 2021 SEASON OLDER AND WISER
By JAKE THOMPSON

afayette knows all too well how their 2020 season ended last November and they do not need anymore reminders. The Commodores had to forfeit their first round playoff game due to a COVID-19 outbreak throughout the program and ending their season without taking another snap. With last season behind them, Lafayette is primed once again for a run at the Class 5A crown and a trip back to the state championship game for the first time since winning it all in 2016. Doing so will require the Commodores to adapt to more off-the-field obstacles put in their path with a key injury. Quarterback Tyrus Williams underwent shoulder surgery over the summer and will miss his senior season. With Williams out it means Will Dabney is now the Commodores leader on offense. The adjustment is not one that will be too daunting as Williams missed spring practices due to playing

baseball at the same time. Dabney took most, if not all, of the spring snaps under center which puts the offense mostly on schedule. With the offense a year older, it will also help with adapting to Dabney taking over at quarterback. “(The offense) will change a little bit, but it’s not like everything’s back to the drawing board,” said Lafayette head coach Michael Fair. “We were so young in spots last year. We were going into the district championship against Lake Cormorant and we were on the 10-yard line trying to drive in the goahead touchdown in the fourth quarter and just can’t get it done. You look on that field and there’s so much youth and inexperience, even thought it’s towards the end of the year. There’s sophomores scattered all over the field. All the mistakes that were made last year shouldn’t be made this year.” Most of summer workouts and preseason camp were spent working on fixing the details and the little things that can make a difference in converting a game-winning drive and not.
