Wow, some great games out there tonight with the one I took in, Lawrence’s upset of Wilmington, right at the top of the list. A monumental Lancer effort in the win, just huge. In a 10 minute span, from two minutes left in the first half to the three-minute mark of the third quarter, lawrence [...]

Lancer Dad or Mr. Glines or somebody, I need a hand. Coach Rich wasn’t sure on the two-point conversions scored vs. Central last week. He had Hale, Joey Mac and Santuorsa on the TDs, can anyone fill me in on the conversions, just so we have it correct in Friday’s newspaper?

If you told me that I’d be going to three football games this weekend, Lawrence-Amesbury, Tewksbury-Methuen and Londonderry-Pinkerton, and one would be a nail-biter, the Rangers and Redmen would have been choice No. 3. That said, it was an afternoon war in Tewks, won by the upset-minded Rangers, while the other two turned into blowouts. [...]

Dave Dyer is a smarmy 40-13, and I’m a tremendously disappointing 35-18. Time to make some hay. Of course, I’m going to do it the smart way, remember my mechanics, stay within myself, one game at a time. I will not press.

Spent a good amount of Thursday night, getting a feel on the game from both coaches, Pinkerton’s Brian O’Reilly and Londonderry’s Jon Rich. The Astros, 3-1 overall and 3-0 in Division 1, travel to the Lancers, 4-0 and 3-0, for a Saturday night clash. The rivalry is gigantic, has been for decades. And now, the [...]
