Bruce Lackland has played Varsity football for the past four years and has started every game. In addition, he has been named to the all-League and all-State teams for the last three years. As an offensive and defensive tackle he performed so well that he received the award for best offensive lineman.
According to Coach Graham, "Bruce is able to play at least forty-eight minutes per game and has been cited as a mainstay of his team.” Quiet and tough and recognized as a true team leader, he was named co-captain for the 1982 season.

David Hall
A spectacular and effective defensive player, David has played Varsity football for four years. Despite many injuries this year he had 50 tackles, 6 quarterback sacks, one interception, a recovery of 2 fumbles, ran 193 yards and carried the ball 21 times in a 6 game season. David gets along with all of the players and helped to inspire his team­ mates. "He is a good team leader,” said Coach Phil Graham, and "he was elected co-captain by the team members.” His skill and ability have earned him the selection to the all-area " B ” league defensive back and All-State. He was an outstand­ ing all around player and the Wardlaw-Hartridge football team will miss him next year.
One of the leading players on the Wardlaw- Hartridge football team is Dave Ring an offensive halfback, and, this year, a defensive noseguard. He has been a great asset to the team this year because of his speed and agility. It is because of those qualities that coach Phil Graham promoted him to the position of noseguard this season. Dur­ ing this extremely short six game season, Dave carried the ball 16 times for a total of 46 yards, had 26 tackles and a fumble recovery. Dave has done a remarkable job this season.
