HA Staff Report


People are pointing to this as the year that Lafayette Central Catholic finally emerges from the shadow of Sheridan in 1A football. The Blackhawks have been moved to the southern half of the draw for the state tournament and that leaves LCC as a favorite in the north. The preseason rankings serve notice to that belief. The Knights are ranked second in 1A.
