Lions Breeze Past Packers 79-0

In a game that was fully expected to be a mismatch, the Lions took on the struggling Greenfield Park Packers last night winning the game easily by a score of 79-0.

On offense, the Lions once again showed what kind of powerhouse they can be by generating 450 total yards and scoring on almost every series of plays.  This brings them back on track for averaging 400 yards per game this season.  Their rushing attack was unstoppable as they used their endless supply of weapons to produce their awesome results.  Key contributors were:

Sammy Mesidor - 9 carries for 100 yards and 2 TD's

Eric Locas - 10 carries for 91 yards and 2 TD's

Andrew Hopkins - 2 carries for 66 yards and 2 TD's

Matthew John - 2 carries for 65 yards and 1 TD

Maxx St. James - 3 carries for 23 yards and 1 TD plus a 2 point convert

QB Maxx St. James connected with receiver Chris Coll on a 20 yarder for the only passing TD of the night and Hopkins also added 9 converts to his scoring total.

The defense once again played a stellar game pushing the Packers backwards for negative 12 yards of total offense.  Linebacker Kevin Kilbourne made a beautiful interception in the first quarter which he ran back 50 yards for his first TD this year.  Mark Continelli also got his first TD when he pounced on a loose ball in the Packers endzone. Shaquille Lattimore came up with an interception of his own later in the game and Defensive End Kyle Macgregor had a huge game registering 2 QB sacks and a fumble recovery.  Greg Lee, Alex Gascon and Kevin Slawter also got sacks for the defense. 

Next week, the Lions continue their road trip when they visit the St. Leonard Cougars at Stade Hebert.  The game is on Sunday, September 23rd at 14:00.
