About this Article

Direll Clark's first love is basketball, but he reluctantly accepts that this season will be his last go-around in the sport. That's why quitting basketball to concentrate on football this winter never crossed his mind. He also didn't want to miss out. Lakes is coming off its best season in school history. The Eagles went 20-11 last year and advanced to their first-ever sectional championship game.
