One of the most unsung members of Lafayette’s Class 4A state champion football team was senior offensive lineman Adam Hyland. The 6-foot-4, 250-pounder not only helped lead the team’s outstanding offensive line at center, but he served another important role as the Commodores’ long snapper.Most fans may not realize the importance of a long snapper, and don’t know much about the player doing that job unless there is a miscue, but Hyland’s talents weren’t lost on Northwest Mississippi Community College coaches or LHS coach Anthony Hart.

You better hope he’s as good as the Lucas kid was the past 2 seasons. Lucas had no bad snaps on x-points,field goals and punts in 2 seasons. Buford the K/P was NJCAA honorable mention as a kicker in the 2010 season as was he first team All-State as a kicker and punter for 2 seasons. What that means is he needed good snaps on all kicks, punting or kicking. Lucas also played on the Kick-Off team too. No punt returns or kick returns for touchdowns in the 2010 season. That’s how any team has a chance to be sucessful and a champion to boot. Good luck Rangers in 2011.
