PINELLAS COUNTY RECRUITING FEATURES THE BOX

Lakewood Prospect Breakdown

Fireworks will be on full display Tonight night as the Dreadnaughts host the Spartans for what will without a doubt be one of the most intense spring football games this year.

Bryant Stadium will open its gates as questions will begin to be answered for the Dreadnaughts and Spartans. Can Lakeland return to championship form in 2012? Will this be there year Lakewood puts it all together?

It will be just a sneak peak, but a thrilling peak nonetheless. Huge names will be on display. Unknowns will put their names on the map.
