What a great day for Lakemont’s Foster High Falcon’s Football Team as they have been invited to play at Dave Campbell’s 12th Annual Texas Football Classic at San Antonio’s Alamodome on August 28, 2010!

The Foster Falcons will play the El Paso Hanks that day at noon, a high honor for a local high school team. Only ten teams were selected and invited from all high schools across Texas, something for everyone in Lakemont to be excited about. And, the Falcons’ head coach Mark Wiatrek is understatedly excited, not only for the team, but for the band and cheerleaders that will also be participating that day.
