48-0 Win Over Packers Clinches First Place For Lions

Last night, the Lions played a very well executed game against the Greenfield Park Packers for a 48-0 win which guarantees them a first place finish in the Bill Allan division of the QBFL.  Leading the scoring for the Lions were Josh George and Sammy Mesidor who both got two rushing TD's each.   From the air, receivers Robin Schmidt and Richie Elias each grabbed a TD pass from QB Matt Leblanc and linebacker Chris Coll picked off the Packers QB and ran the interception in 40 yards for a defensive TD.  Joey Fulginiti was successful on 6 of 7 convert attempts.

The North Shore defense played another very solid game to ensure the shutout. Linebacker Greg Lee played an outstanding game at middle linebacker as he came through with an interception and a QB sack to lead the defense.  Kevin Slawter-Vassell and Ben Heazle each came up with a fumble recovery and Jesse St. James teamed up with Heazle for the second sack of the night for the Lions. 

Next week, the Lions travel to Blainville to take on the Laurentian Wildcats.  The game is on Saturday, October 7th at 18:00.
