Lions Maul Cougars 41-7

The Lions continue their romp towards an undefeated season with a 41-7 victory over the St. Leonard Cougars.  Despite a number of miscues and mental errors from the offence, the Lions managed to take advantage of several opportunities where they were given good field position to give them the overwhelming win over the Cougars.  Offensive touchdowns on the ground were scored by Josh George, Sammy Mesidor and Ross Olshansky.  QB Matt Leblanc connected with Richie Elias for another one in the air.  Joey Fulginiti, having another great game on defense, ran in an interception for a touchdown and was good on all 5 converts.  The scoring was rounded out with two defensive safeties when St. Leonard conceded in their own endzone and two single points when a punt from Jesse St. James and a field goal attempt by Fulginiti sailed through the St. Leonard endzone.

The North Shore defense played a superb game as they put constant pressure on the St. Leonard quarterback and held the Cougars to 127 yards in total offense.  Mohammed Malik got his second interception of the season.  A tackle by Alex Grace forced a fumble which was recovered by Mark Continelli and linebacker Jessy Thompson got his first QB sack of the season. 

The Lions are back home at Riverdale next week where they will host the Greenfield Park Packers.  The game is on Friday night at 8:00.
