Lamar High School Football

Lamar High School located in Lamar, S.C is being talked about in such a positive way. Despite the high academics and outstanding marching silver powerhouse, the high recognition is coming from another high school source. The positivity is coming from the high schools football team.

 

The LHS football team, Silver Foxes, is undefeated in this school year, 2016-2017. The Silver Foxes has played eight consecutive Friday night games and hasn't let any of their fans down. Under the coaching of Fountain, the team has been a force to wreck with.

 

Lamar has won two of their region games and lead their region, A Region II, in overall wins. Next behind them is the Black Panthers of McBee, then Lions of Lewisville, then the Whirlwind of Timmonsville, and the Red Devils of Great Falls.

 

As an alumni of LHS I expect this year team to go all the way. I expect them to represent the little town of Lamar and bring recognition to my high school. To keep up with Lamar High School football team tune into the Endzone every Friday night on WPDE of maxpreps.com
