Prep football preview: Lakewood Cougars

Published 11:02 am Wednesday, September 3, 2014

Coach: Dan Teeter (9th season)

2013 record: 9-1

Key returners: Blake Watts, QB, Sr.; Brett Bustad, DB/WR, Sr.; Alec Burbee, OL/DL, Sr.; Paulmer Gregory, DB/RB, Sr.

Word from the coach: “There’s an expectation to win now. A few years ago that wasn’t the case. People kind of thought, ‘Oh, well how are we going to lose now?’ Now we expect to win. There’s been a core work ethic established. Kids have put in the time in the weight room and the summer activities and camps. I think they know what it takes to be successful and they’re willing to keep pushing it.”
