BOYS FOOTBALL La Porte VS Lake Central 2026

Lake Central prevailed against LaPorte in a climactic fluctuating 41-34 finish.

Lake Central will play on the road next Friday night at Michigan City and LaPorte will play Merrillville at home. Tonight was youth night too as the elementary, middle, and Jr. High school football Pop Warner and Cheer squads from the Lake Central Buccaneers were all represented during halftime. The very renown Lake Central Centralette dance team performed during halftime as well as the band. Keep up the great work everyone!

“The fact that I was able to go from the 15-yard line all the way to the house and having great blocks from defenders give or take. I honestly did let the emotion definitely get the better of me and it felt great! I was just in awe and the fact that I was able to to find that scene and be able to take it to the house like that!” -Matthew Tuftedal (Lake Central-Strong Safety) (Following his PAT run to a touchdown)
