COLUMBUS: Introductions didn’t need to be made Thursday for the Division II State final.
Unfortunately, for Perry, La Salle and its 30 seniors were playing on a field they have concluded their season on for three consecutive seasons.
In a rematch of last year’s state championship game, the Lancers pulled out a 14-7 win at Ohio Stadium.
It marked the third title in a row for the Lancers (13-2).
Last year, they beat the Panthers 42-0.
“As they look back and reflect, they’ll be proud of what they did,” Perry coach Keith Wakefield said of this players.
