Surrounded by friends, family and coaches, four of Lexington High's top football players signed letters of intent on Wednesday to play college ball. At the head of the class was wide receiver Shaq Roland, who signed with the USC Gamecocks. Roland led the Wildcats to an undefeated regular season with 79 catches for 1,546 yards and 19 touchdowns. He also ran for 305 yards and 10 TDs. For his efforts, Roland was named South Carolina's "Mr. Football" for 2011.

Stand-out receiver and USC commitment Shaq Roland of LHS honored as state's top high school player
Racking up 29 touchdowns and amassing more than 2,000 yards receiving, rushing, and returning kicks this season, Lexington High School's all-star wide receiver Shaq Roland has captured the coveted title of South Carolina's "Mr. Football." The award was presented Friday night at Myrtle Beach High School in conjunction with the SCADA North-South All Star Game weekend.

Wildcats finish perfect regular season against cross-town rival
On a nippy and breezy Friday night, the Lexington High Wildcats cruised past cross-town arch rival White Knoll High School 42-12 to finish a perfect 11-0 regular season. Minus their star running back, Kevin Miller, who is nursing an injury in advance of next week's state playoffs, the Wildcats struggled with the Timberwolves' archaic yet tricky Wing-T offense in the first half -- going into halftime up only 22-12. But the Wildcats offense came to life in the second half behind sophomore standout QB Will Hunter, and wide receiver Shaq Roland, and the defense shut down the Timber Wolves the rest of the way for the easy win. According to the unofficial stats, Hunter passed for 355 yards, and Roland -- a potential S.C. Mr. Football and a four-…

With State's Top Player, Wildcats Look to Improve in 2011
Even across the wide expanse of the Lexington High School track and practice fields one recent morning -- while female tracksters did post-practice stretches and JV football players went through their paces -- the eyes and ears are immediately drawn to the intensity of the Wildcats' varsity football squad. Grunts, groans, the unmistakeable popping of pads echo across the divide, as does the boisterous shouts and cheering of young men in full-contact drills, ramping up the intensity of a team that looks to improve on a successful 2010 campaign that saw the Wildcats go 10-4 and deep into the state 4-A playoffs. (In the gallery, at right, are some photos of the Wildcats in action, with varsity boys in blue/gold/white, and the JV in all white…
