Jared Fagan and his Westlake teammates came up short in the Maryland 3A South Regional title game last week, falling to Lackey 14-13. In the final quarter, Fagan scored the go-ahead 19-yard touchdown run with less than two minutes left on the clock. The extra point failed, and Lackey drove down for the winning score and extra point.

“It was disappointing, but that’s what happens,” Fagan said. “We lost to Lackey twice this year, and those are our only losses. We still had a pretty good season though.”

Westlake finished the year 10-2, and Fagan finished with 1,500 yards rushing, 18 touchdowns, and four interceptions. He played running back and safety this season.

With his football season complete, Fagan will now participate in Indoor Track, specifically the 55 and the 300 meters. His personal best in the 55 is 6.3 seconds, and he hopes to improve upon that this year.
