Coach Kaple writes, “I am excited to have become a part of the Lackey family. People who know SMAC football
recognize that Lackey High School possesses a strong tradition of excellence in football. I look forward to the
challenge of continuing and improving upon this great tradition.” Coach Kaple’s goals as a coach are not limited to
the field. He explains “I think the true measure of a coach cannot be determined by wins and loses, or statistics.
The impact of a coach resides in preparing young men to become adults, who are successful in life. As a coach, I
hope that my players apply the lessons they learn through the game of football to become successful in life. I
measure my success as a coach by the character my players demonstrate on and off the football field.”
Coach Lamb writes, “Dan has done a tremendous job with the offense the past two seasons. His preparation for
each practice and game is the reason we have been so successful. What impresses me most about Dan is his ability
to get the most out of all of his players, regardless of their skill level. He is innovative and continues to be a student
of the game. Dan is a phenomenal teacher who has a unique way to get his point across on the field and in the
classroom. Our players respect him and look to him for guidance which shows what a tremendously positive
impact he has on their lives”
Coach Kaple currently resides in La Plata. In his spare time, Coach Kaple enjoys seeing live music, and visiting
historic sites throughout the Maryland-Virginia-Washington D.C. area.
