SPONSORS
Ray WoodardLamar University Football Coach
The 2015 Lamar Cardinal football season ended with a 56record and Coach Woodard described it to a local reporter asa "seesaw season," describing the "highs were real high andthe lows were real low." Certainly running back KadeHarrington being named Southland Conference Player of theYear was a high moment for the player, the team and thecoach. Come hear other reviews and reactions about the team's 2015season. And perhaps, if it's not too premature, CoachWoodard will share a glimpse into the returning players andteam and his forecast for the 2016 season.
