On Nov. 20, 2015, in the District 2 Class AA final at Gatto Field at Veterans Memorial Stadium, Dunmore beat Lake-Lehman 28-13. Lawler, a Dunmore linebacker, had eight tackles, three of them solo. He said the defense knew what Lake-Lehman would run and dominated its assignments. Dunmore held Lake-Lehman to 194 yards on 39 carries. As a junior he was Dunmore's leading tackler with 120. In that season's win over Lakeland, listed later as Dunmore 33-14, he had nine tackles. Dunmore held Lakeland to 157 yards on 36 carries, most of them on a 70-yard touchdown run. He was 5-foot-11 and 185 pounds and also played tight end. Kevin McHale said Lawler made a lot of the defensive calls.
