LAKE PLACID – The Lake Placid boys basketball team seemed to have a handle on things after one quarter of play Tuesday night against Frostproof. But for the next six minutes, the Green Dragons simply got handled. The Bulldogs scored the first 16 points of the second quarter and wouldn't relinquish their lead the rest of the way as Frostproof held off two furious LP rallies to claim a 61-58 Class 3A-District 10 victory at LPHS. ...more

LAKE PLACID –– After going through last season where goals were hard to come by, the Lake Placid boys soccer team erupted in Tuesday night's match against Avon Park. The Green Dragons, who improved to 1-1 on the season, scored early and often in cruising to a 5-0 win over the Red Devils at Roger Scarborough Memorial Field. "We had a good effort and scored a couple of quality goals," Lake Placid coach Josh Virkler said. "We stayed organized, got forward pretty fast and if it wasn't for an outstanding effort by the Avon Park goalie, we would have scored a bunch more. "Our guys needed that one game where we bagged a couple of goals and found out that they could score, because we lost a lot of close games last year because we couldn't put the ball in the back of the net." ...more
