Interlake High School, located between Lake Washington and Lake Sammamish, has sent a lot of football players to the University of Washington through the years, most prominently quarterbacks Steve Pelluer and Tom Flick and linebacker Jim Mora Jr. 

So it seems only right the Huskies would offer something in return in former UW and NFL running back Lavon Coleman, who on Tuesday announced he was Interlake’s new football coach.

“I will do everything I can to ensure that our program adds value to our athletes’ lives and that they leave equipped with the proper tools to excel in all aspects of life,” he said in a social-media post.

These high school Saints will be led by a Lompoc, California, native who played five seasons in Montlake, appearing in 51 Husky games and starting five in 2013-17.
