the #1 team, while Valdosta State was ranked #2.<br />

the fourth quarter, QB Curt Anes found WR David<br />
Kircus in the final minutes to cap <strong>of</strong>f a 65-yard TD<br />

snag his second interception <strong>of</strong> the game to put Valdosta<br />
State away and seal the Lakers’ first championship.<br />
All-american David Kircus racked up a Division II<br />
championship game record 270 receiving yards along<br />
