Lancers 35 - Hawks 15

[Jim Fitzpatrick]

The Lancers #41 rushed for 224 yards and ran for 3 TDs, and QB #9 threw a TD pass to WR #2 as the Lancers decisively defeated the Hawks 35 - 15 in their first meeting of the 2023 season.  The other Lancer TD came on a 37 yard run by rookie FB #37.  Meanwhile, the Hawks tackled #41 in the end zone for a safety - their first score. On the ensuing kick, #6 returned the ball to the Lancer 12 yard line, and HB #26 ran it in from there for the Hawks first TD, but the extra point hit the left upright for a miss.  Later, FB #36 also scored on a run in the third quarter, keeping the Hawks in the game.  The Lancer defense still had problems controlling the run, but their corner backs, #44 and
#21, along with their slot corner, #22, stifled the Hawk receivers.  The Lancers effectively used a two tight end offense, or a single wing formation far more than has normally been the case.  Lancer WRs #2 and #81 consistently got open and QB #9 passed for over 50%, spreading the ball around to everyone.  Hawk WLB #58 played exceptionally well in the Hawk's losing effort, as did FB#36.

Next up: Titans (1 - 0) at Gladiators (1 - 0).

I'll try to remember to take some still photographs from future games.

I just meant pictures because I can't always remember what your teams look like. 🫢

And I'd like to see Lancers #41. 😃 As Bob Davis wrote,
