LANCERS STOP FALCONS 14-6 FRIDAY NIGHT The LaVille Lancers took advantage of an early John Glenn turnover and turned it into a quick touchdown and they settled down to defeat the Falcons 14-6 last Friday night. The victory was LaVille’s first Northern State Conference win and second in three games this year. The loss dropped Glenn to a 1-2 mark, all three games being conference battles. G Statistic* L 10 First Downs 16 148 Rushing 139 9 Passing 86 9 Passes Attempted 17 1 Passes Completed 9 2 Had Intercepted 0 2 Punts 4 35 Average Yards 33 2 Fumbles Lost 1 40 Yards Penalized 20 The Falcons took the opening kickoff and moved to their own 29 yard line before a fumble on the game's third play resulted in the Lancers recovering inside the 30. It took just a few plays for them to get in the end zone with quarterback Vaughn Ross sneaking in from one yard out for the early 6-0 lead. A try for the extra point failed, but the Lancers had drawn first blood thanks to a Falcon turnover. There was no scoring until LaVille put together a long drive of 90 yards on 16 plays capping the drive with Mark Haskins running it in from one yard out. In this drive, two costly Glenn penalties helped keep the drive alive, one a key holding play that gave LaVille a first down instead of forcing a punt. Ross passed to Tim Tyler for two points and the visiting Lancers led 14-0, the way the first half ended. Glenn seemed to get going better in the second half, but still continued to be their own worst enemy. After a sustained drive of about 50 yards, an interception stopped this chance deep in LaVille territory. The Falcons finally got on the board with 6:37 left in the game when a 67 yard drive in 10 plays cut the lead to 14-6 as they also missed a try for two points. Glenn had the ball two more times in the final minutes, but first a fumble stopped any chance they might have had, and then another interception late in the game proved to be the clincher for LaVille. This was Glenn's fourth turnover of the game. For the game Jason Fisher picked up 138 yards rushing but the Falcons were only able to complete one pass for just nine yards. Both teams defenses rose to the occasion on several occasions, keeping the score down in this NSC battle. Host Triton Friday The Falcons will be at home again this Friday night as they host the Triton Trojans in another NSC game at 7:30 p.m. Triton is winless so far this season.
