Lions Steamroll Over Packers with 73-0 Win

The Lions are proving that they are a force to be reckoned with in the QBFL as they completely obliterated the Greenfield Park Packers by a score of 73-0 last night at Riverdale. It was an obvious mismatch as it seemed that the Lions offense, which is now averaging 400 yards per game, could do no wrong by scoring virtually every time they handled the ball. The scoring was started by running back Matthew John in the first series of plays with a 51 yard run into the Greenfield Park endzone. More rushing scores were added by Sammy Mesidor, Evan Wiley, QB Maxx St. James and backup QB Vincent Bourgon with one apiece and running back Ernst Pierre with two. Receiver Simon Lacroix got his second TD in the air for the season from St. James and also scored a point with a touchback on a kickoff that sailed through the opposing endzone. Shaquille Lattimore had another big game as he ran back a punt for a TD and added 4 more converts to his total. Andrew Hopkins also completed 4 converts along with a field goal and a touchback.

Defensively, the Lions were absolute beasts as they held the Packers to a mere 39 yards in total offense and capitalized on 9 turnovers committed by the Greenfield Park offense. Leading the way was Nick Gaudreault with 3 interceptions on the night. Linebacker Luka Ricard picked off another one and ran it back for a TD and also recovered a fumble later on in the game. More fumble recoveries were recorded by Greg Lee, Dimitri Divolis, Irving Fosu and Alex Gascon.

The Lions are back in action again this Saturday night at Riverdale at 8:00 PM against the Richelieu Pirates.
