Big Win Over Richelieu Despite Slow Start

                    
The Lions won big again last night beating the Richelieu Pirates 59-0 despite a number of miscues and a slow start from their offense.  During the first half, the offense was considerably less sharp in its execution than it had been in recent games but a solid performance from the Lions defense and special teams gave them the time they needed to regroup and find the groove that they needed to be in to come up with a big win.

A total of 6 rushing TD's were produced by the offense with running back Matthew John getting two of them.  Sammy Mesidor, Evan Wiley, Andrew Hopkins, and Vince Bourgon got the remaining four.  The special teams were particularly strong last night with Alex Grace running a punt back for a TD and Sammy Mesidor doing the same with a kickoff.  Shaquille Lattimore was perfect on all 8 converts and also scored a single point when a kick went through the opposing endzone.  The remaining two points came on a saftey when the Richelieu offense was backed up in their own end and conceded in their endzone.

Defensively, the Lions were as strong as ever with linebackers Kevin Kilbourne and Alex Gascon registering 7 tackles apiece.  Nick Gaudreault and Taevon Nesfield each came up with an interception and QB sacks were recorded by Phil Hebert, Mark Continelli and Dimitri Divolis who also picked up a fumble late in the fourth quarter.

The Lions will get a bit of a break after a tough week before they begin to prepare for a big game next Saturday, which will be their first game on the road this season, against the Lasalle Warriors where they will battle for first place in the Bill Allan division.  The game is at Keith Ewenson field in Lasalle at 7:00 PM.
