Heroes On and Off the Field: Football and Firefighting Unite at Lackawanna Trail and Lakeland High Schools. For Lackawanna Trail football players Bubba Gow, Logan Edwards, Timmy Richmond, Colby Stanton, and Aaden Cobb, the firehouse is as familiar as the football field. For some, firefighting runs in the family. For others, it’s an opportunity to give back to the community that’s supported them throughout their lives. Either way, these young men have found a way to balance the heavy responsibilities of school, football, and firefighting—a feat that sets them apart as true local heroes.
