Game #7 New Town
It was another perfect fall day. A light breeze blowing, sun shining, a great day for football!
Loch Raven traveled to New Town High in Owings Mills. They game started with a good kickoff by Ryan Davis. Our special teams pinned them down around the 30.
First play for New Town - hand-off - they gain 7 yards. Next play - same thing - only this time - a gain of 0. They try 2 passing plays, both incomplete. We take over on downs at about their 35. A couple of successful running plays and #45 Khirhy Hayes runs it in for the touchdown! Ryan Davis in for the extra point kick .... It's Good! Raiders strike first 7-0.
Next series, New Town moves the ball down the field, the running back breaks loose and scores.
They go for 2 points. 2 point conversion - No Good. Raiders still have the lead. 7-6
Loch Raven starts their next drive on the 20. 1st play - hand-off to Khirhy Hayes, #45, he going, still up, still moving - he could go all the way ... and he does - Touchdown! This time coach calls for a 2 point play - Hand-off to #10 Dashawn Marshall and he's in for 2 points! Raiders leading now 15-6. Close to the end of the half, the Titans (New Town) are on the move. but they run out of time.
New Town has only 1 win and Loch Raven has two. Well I must say the coach of New Town gave their guys a real pep talk. They came out to do their warm-ups and were loud and all pumped up. They carried this new vitality through the second half of the game.
New Town went on to score 3 more touchdowns. The Raiders could not hold them and the Raiders offense could not get anything going. New Town wins 24 - 15.
One thing I must say about the defense, they are pretty good on defending the 2 point conversion. The Titans attempted the 2 pointer - 4 times, and all 4 times they got stuffed!!
Our defense just needs to stop the 6 pointer.
The first half was much more exciting - but all in all it was a good game. One minor injury, our defensive leader, Trey Mostyn injured his ankle. He is questionable for this Thursday's game.
Varsity lost to New Town 32-0 on Saturday.
Two games left. Maybe we just have trouble winning on the road. Both of our wins were at home. We are undefeated at home. This Thursday, Sparrows Point. This week is spirit week with the homecoming game (Varsity) on Friday. Nobody likes to lose during homecoming week.
Sparrows Point has a really good record and will be tough to beat. I sure the Raiders will do their best!

Game Number 6 - Lansdowne
Just like last year, our home game against Lansdowne was canceled and rescheduled to their location. Last year we beat them 6-0. This year, on their brand new Turf Field, they beat us 6-0. Just like the Ravens sometimes, we dominated in yards rushing, passing, and offensive time on the field. We had at least 3 series in the Red Zone. But we could not convert! They only got into the red zone just once, but they scored! Need to find the answer to that one, or sometimes it is just not meant to be.
It was a miserable, wet, cold rainy day. We saved our money and sat on the cheap side of the field close to our car. There was a six foot fence between us and the game, so I didn't tape most of the game. Not really any highlights caught on tape except two big runs by #45 Khirhy Hayes.
Our record is now 2-4. Varsity played Lansdowne after us at 7 pm, they won 28-8. Varsity's record is 2-5.
On the brighter side, Peter got 3 tackles and 1 sack = 4 Big Plays. His fundraising total is now up to $791.25. We only have three games left. If you have not donated yet, please do so now. Thank you!
The next game is at New Town High School in the Owings Mills area. Thursday, 4 pm.
Lets hope for a WIN and many BIG PLAYS!

Varsity vs. Pikesville
I just wanted to post this video of a really good drive the LRHS Varsity had on Friday night. They are some Peter's friends and I know they want to see it, and I want to share it with you! All are Juniors except Max Wilson, Senior. So Peter will be playing with these guys next year. He played with Steve and Hisham on JV last year. Carlton was on Varsity as a Soph.
Quarterback Steve Boudouris throws a long ball to Max Wilson - an amazing catch in double coverage, 2nd pass to Hisham Ziyout who almost takes it in for a TD. Then a handoff to Carlton Arrington for his first Touchdown of the season. Our Band gets fired up! Jamell Randolf (Senior) on for the extra point .... It's good. Raiders take the lead 7-0. Unfortunately Varsity lost 26-15 but it was a very good game. Their record is 1-4.

Win Number 2
LRHS 26 Pikesville 22
What a beautiful night for a game. The fall colors are starting to show. The sun still shining a light warm breeze blowing. Perfect weather for a WIN!
Loch Raven Kicks off to Pikesville, Pikesville fumbles, LR recovers! What a way to start the game. Of course 2 plays later we fumble. Its all good they fumble again and we recover. Two plays later we score!!!!
Loch Raven strikes first with a big running play, Khirhy Hayes Touchdown! Ryan Davis kicks the extra point, oops, blocked! Pikesville answers with not one but two touchdowns and 2 extra points, score now Pikesville 14 Loch Raven 6. Pikesville kicks off to Loch Raven, it's a low to the ground squib kick recovered by Devon Tate on the sideline, Tate starts running ... Dodges a few tackles, weaves in and out, stumbles a little, regains his momentum and TAKES IT TO THE HOUSE, or CRIB as he likes to say! TOUCHDOWN TATE, as Joe likes to say! Let's go for two this time says Coach Elliott. Handoff to Tate's cousin, Khirhy - He's in for two. Loch Raven ties it 14-14. Time to break the tie, another running play for Khirhy - He SCORES! Let's try for two - no good. Score 20-14 Loch Raven. Well of course our elation was short lived, Pikesvile scores again and makes the 2 point conversion. Pikesville on top 22-20. Just a few minutes left in the game. Pikesville has the ball. Hand off to the running back - Peter grabs him from behind, falls back and takes him down. On the way down he lets go of the ball - FUMBLE - LR Recovers!
Handoff to Dashawn Marshall - he's in for 6! Go for 2, stopped. Loch Raven now on top 26-22. Well there is still time left so the defense has to hold them. 1st down, 2nd down, 3rd down .. nothing. 3rd and 8 Pikesville goes for the pass .... complete - 1st down on our 40. Pikesville goes for another pass play - Picked by Dashawn! Next play, Offense on the field to run out the clock. Loch Raven wins 26-22.
Wish you were there! It was a very exciting game. Best of all, no injuries!
Take a look at some of Peter's Highlights!
Fundraising Update:
After the last game I realized I had made an error. The flat fee donations were added in my total twice. I had reported the total to be $575.00 - it should have been $390.00. The good news is with extra donations coming in and Peter's 11 Big Plays this week, the total is now $680.25. It's never too late to add your name to the list of sponsors. Right now Peter earns $12.75 for his charities for every "Big Play" he makes. That does insprire him to work harder! After tonight's game he said, I brought the money in tonight Mom, 10 tackles and 1 forced fumble. Right now he has to make 60 "Big Plays" to raise just over $1,000.00. I think he can do it! If you want to sponsor Peter, please let us know so we can count you in our totals. THANK YOU!

Game 4 - Owings Mills
Hey Everyone - Sorry for the delay in posting this. I guess I was in no hurry.
To quote Peter's Facebook Page ... "Worst game of my life and nothing like this will ever happen again!"
They lost ... 40-0. Peter only had two tackles. I think this week in practice they are making some more adjustments to cover the injured players that are out. I also think we had the toughest part of our schedule first. Maybe the last 5 games will be a little bit easier.
Picture: After the game, ready for the long bus ride back to LR. To quote a girl from Owings Mills -"You guys lost to Owings Mills - I can't believe that".
Our Varsity played Owings Mills on Friday night. Owings Mills had not won a game in over 5 years, They were 0-56, until Friday Night. Owings Mills beat LRHS 12-0. Those kids looked like they won the Superbowl. They were so excited. Well in all fairness both teams deserved to win. They both fought hard games and were very determined. I hope our games start a winning streak for OM - until next year when we play them.The bad news is I think Peter may have suffered a minor concussion. He had a bad headache during the game after a head to head collision with teammate, Terez. Peter hit his head and bumped his elbow. He was playing hurt the rest of the game. He still had the headache Friday and part of Saturday and Sunday. He never had any other symptoms and we kept a watchful eye. I kept him home from school on Friday and the coach had him sit out of practice on Monday. We had a discussion of the dangers of head injuries and the need to sit out when you are hurt - or maybe hurt. This is the tough part of football. I can deal with the boys' emotions of losing but seeing the kids get hurt is hard to deal with.
Well we were happy that in the 4th quarter the coach decided to play all the guys on the bench. So everybody got to play a down or two. Our good friend Tomas who plays on the O Line got to show us his stuff. He did well. He didn't let anyone bust through the line and the second play he knocked his guy down on the ground. Go Tomas! I feel bad that I didn't have my camera battery charged and it died just before halftime so I didn't get any video of Tomas. We'll get him next time! Everybody works so hard in practice it is nice to see the coach give everyone some play time. Next time I hope it is because we are winning 40-0!
Please keep all the football players, all ages and even the pros in your prayers. Pray that all players have a healthy season and no one is seriously injured.
The good news is Peter's fundraising total is now up to $575.00. He is now up to $10.25 per Big Play. At this rate if he reaches his goal of 55 Big Plays - he will raise almost $1,000.00. We are still looking to improve that total. Please email us if you are interested in sponsoring Peter. Thanks again for all your support.
Next game - this Thursday 4 pm - 10/08 - against Pikesville at Loch Raven High School Stadium. Hope you can come to the game.
PS - Thanks for coming out to the game - Aunt Nancy and Uncle Mike.
I hope to have lots of highlights and good news about the Pikesville game on Thursday night or Friday morning. Have a good week!
In the words of Tigger from Winnie the Pooh - TTFN - Tah Tah for Now!
