 The Champaign Gazette is the original All-State recognition for football going back to the 1930s. There have been only 4 Lake Forest High School Football players to receive All-State recognition from the Champaign Gazette. John Lazzaretto was one of the 4 that received this recognition. John is the only one of the 4 Lake Forest Football Players that did not get placed on the Lake Forest High School Wall of Fame.

John Lazzaretto has supported the Lake Forest community for the last 9 years by founding and leading the non for profit Bandits Lacrosse Club which is the feeder team to the Girls Lacrosse Team of Lake Forest High School.

We would like to correct this omission and have John Lazzaretto placed on the Wall of Fame located within Lake Forest High School
