I guess we'll get to see if DLS is really a Top 25 team.
Note: Lakeland's probably going to get a pretty good dose of this guy 👇
Key Details
Name: Duece Jones-Drew
Father: Maurice Jones-Drew, a former NFL star and De La Salle Hall of Famer
School: De La Salle in Concord, California
Position: Running Back
College Interest: Duece has received offers from programs like Cal, Miami, and UCLA, the latter being his father's alma mater, according to 247Sports.
Background
Maurice Jones-Drew now serves as a position coach at De La Salle, where his son plays.
Duece Jones-Drew made a memorable debut, scoring a touchdown on his first varsity carry in September 2024.
He missed his freshman season due to a shoulder injury but was highly active in the 7-on-7 circuit.
Duece has a different playing style than his father, described as lighter and shiftier.
DLS ATH Jaden Jefferson ( North Carolina commit) set the California 100 Meter record this year with the wind-legal time of 10.01.
That's very very fast.
I'm going to have my eyes on Jaden tonight.

DLS wins big. Lakeland doesn't have the dudes like in years past. Having one guy who is a power 5 dude doesn't mean they can be successful. They let a team last week not in the national 2,500 drop 3 touchdowns on them with ease. Game will be a blowout. And you will have the usual trolls pretending to be surprised
A more than respectable amount of talent will be on display tonight....which doesn't include FCS/etc players who can ball.
I never really understood why FCS players are so disrespected.
Anyways, should be a great game.
I got my eye on this game snd a couple others tonight.
👇
This has been the last 8 months for Lakeland
Obliterated in the title game by STA
Dominated by Jesuit in the spring game
Destroyed by MNW in the preseason game
Gashed by 3 scores last week by a team not in the top 2,500
Ellos son basura caliente

This game will be closer than you expect.... DLS breaking in a new QB who does not run the veer anywhere near as well as last years QB but he can throw it.....
Turnover are always an issue for DLS in early season games as well and several new starters on DLS's lines....
I got DLS winning this game by 1 score, 24-17 or something like that....

If Lakeland can get out of there only losing by one score that will be a "win" for them in my book: I fully expect them to get ran out of the stadium
Lakeland reminds me of Byrnes,SC. A nationally known team who has had success in the past. But now they are just a middling program that has been surpassed by everyone around them and is getting ink off former teams from past glory. Lakeland is just a name now.

Auburndale score 21 points which last checked that's three touchdowns. They are not even in the top 150 in Florida. If you are a supposed upper echelon team, there's no way possible you let a garbage team like that score 3 touchdowns in any part of a fourth-quarter game.
Point is if Auburndale who would lose to DLS junior varsity team can score 3 touchdowns against Lakeland, then I'm sure DLS varsity can score many more.
I got it DLS 42, Lakeland 14

No one gives a crap what you got.
Lakeland was up 31-0 basically running clocked Auburndale last week
Auburndale had about 75 yards total offense in the first half.
Auburndale scored some garbage on Lakeland's backups who entered the game shortly after halftime.
You are nothing but a filthy cancerous liar who should be banned from this forum before you infect it like you have every other forum you've been a part of.

Sure thing slick. Remember the panhandle of Florida is 65-35 against entire state of Louisiana all time in history. Those are facts that can't be disputed!! Maybe that's why you are posting Texas and California news non stop. Lol.
And that 65-35 record the last 70 years against Louisiana for the Florida panhandle isn't just against the scrubs and believe me there is alot of them. It's also against multiple state champions!!!
And if it wasn't for John Curtis playing a slew of 1 and 2 win panhandle teams the last 30 years, the 65-35 record would be ALOT worse!!!
Anyways, DLS is gonna blow out Lakeland and no one is gonna be surprised.
Long trip for a team that's lost a little luster.DLS should win with their veer that Lakeland probably hasn't ever played against.DLS has shown to make mistakes as well with new QB running the veer

Don't let any troll tell you different. DLS will win big. The game will be out of reach by halftime. You might debate whether to grab some concession food or leave early for a better bite to eat
DLS looking Terrible on Offense right now.... Terrible penalties and they are in trouble with QB with no threat of run....
Lucked out with a missed FG by Lakeland.... Lakelands best player apparently didn't play last week.... 🤣

Yeah DLS QB isn't looking to good right now.Defense is playing pretty good though
3-0 DLS halftime

DLS has completely controlled the game.... Nice drive 98 yards to end the half but lack of running QB is not helping, they are just not a passing team no matter how much they try....
Their best plays are the inside runs but without the QB as a threat the Defense can just focus on the RB's.... 3-0 DLS at half, we will see if DLS can figure out the offense.... With last years QB who could run but not pass, DLS would be Up by 2 TD's at this point.... Lakeland is really fast but OLine is not impressive, DLS dominating on Defense....
Lakeland has a good defense....... they can't keep giving DLS free yardage jumping off sides though > at least 7 or 8 times already.
Lakeland's best offense might be their defense....
Lakeland 72 yard scoop and score 6-3 late 3rd
Lakeland 6-3 headed to the 4th.
Anyone's game
DLS scores with 2;38 left 10-6
Lakeland's desperation drive was too much desperation with that much time left. I don't understand some of these coaches. Probably going to end up taking a couple timeouts back to Florida.
QB play on both sides blow average I thought.
How is that Lakeland kid Committed to Arkansas?.... 🤣
I told you
@Nolebull813 it wouldn't be a Blow out!.... 🤣🤣
#45 and #59 and #74 from DLS are Legit Big Time Pkayers.... That defense is going to be tough to score on with those dudes playing....

They looked bad mostly but when 2 things happened the game became easier. They seemed to FINALLY look like they wanted to block somebody and the backs started to hit the hole faster. Coaches started to call sensible plays too. That helps.

Go back to the National Outcast Forum with the losers that blurt out anything they want to.....and then call it expert national opinion.
What a freaking joke
It was a winning effort from the Lakeland defense. The offense had its moments against a very good DLS defense, but inevitably shoots itself in the foot, which it can't do with the mediocre offensive line. Missed 36-yd FG, missed EP and then missed opportunity driving up 6-3 with a chance to put it away. Fittingly, they faced a 3rd and about 4 around the 20 of DLS...and then had a delay of game which screwed the drive. I gather Lakeland didn't actually bring in a new OC and it's still the head coach running the offense. And he's in over his head in this area, as they continue to struggle to shuffle in personnel and they continue to run Wildcat without the QB on the field, which amounts to telling the defense the play.
Malik Morris is clearly far below 100%, as he mostly played DL/edge where he was needed at MLB, which is where DLS went on the game-winning TD.
As is always the case, we can't read too much into results in August. If DLS has a historically bad season, it's a bad loss for Lakeland. I don't think that'll happen, and so I don't think it was a bad showing. Difficult to lose such a winnable game. And it has to be hard to play defense on that team given the offense's struggles.
It seemed like a respectable, "good vibes" feel between the teams. I hope the DLS contingent got a better impression of Lakeland than some had in 2009.

I thought both teams represented themselves well. And it was fun to watch. It could have gone either way.
