Athletics

Greetings Lancer Nation,

At Lakewood High School, athletics are an integral part of the high school experience. High school athletics have the ability to unify a campus, and community, as student-athletes take to the field, court, track, and pool in pursuit of athletic excellence. The athletics program at LHS would not be able to operate without the hard work of our coaches, athletic trainers, teachers, administration, custodial and grounds crew, office staff, and student store clerks. Most importantly, success begins with supportive families at home.

All of the Lancer sports teams currently compete in the Moore League, which is comprised of Long Beach Poly HS, Long Beach Millikan HS, Long Beach Wilson HS, Long Beach Jordan HS, Long Beach Cabrillo HS, and Compton HS. All of our teams compete within the CIF – Southern Section, which has 581 member schools. For each sport’s playoffs, the Southern Section is broken up into a different number of divisions based upon factors like enrollment, league, and geographic location.

Our coaches, counselors, teachers, and College and Career Center (CAC) also help prepare many of our student-athletes for competition at the collegiate level. Checking with the counselors and CAC is a great way to make sure that student-athletes are on track to participate in NCAA athletics, if they are pursuing those options.

Please come out and support all of our athletic teams this year. Our student-athletes have worked hard to prepare for their contests and thrive off of the support that our fans can provide. Be encouraging and uplifting to the Lancer student-athletes and be equally polite and gracious to our opponents. Let’s enjoy another great year!

Go Wood!
Mike Wadley - Athletic Director
