LAST GAME of 2009

Again I apoligize for the delay in posting this. Well we lost the last game to Western Tech, 22-8.
The Langs and The Gleasons have a friendly rivalry going - since Bobby goes there and Lisa teaches there. Last year WT won, 40-0. This year Western Tech won again so Bobby get bragging rights for another year. But we are getting closer!

Our quarterback, Adam had some elbow problems in the last couple of games, so the coach had to get creative with the offense and it paid off in the Sparrows Point game. In the Western Tech game we just could not get anything started. It started out on a sad note, we kicked off to WT and they scored on the opening kick-off return. Then they even scored the extra 2 points. A tough start. In the second half it looked like things might turn around for us. Western went 3 and out from their own 3 yard line. They had to punt from inside the endzone. The snap hit the uprights and he got the punt off - but it was called a safety! 2 Points for LR!!!! Then WT kicks off to us and #45 Khirhy Hayes runs it all the way back for a touchdown. We could not convert for the 2 points, and that ended our scoring for the day.

But then an exciting end to the game. With 3 minutes left to play, score 22-8 - last game of the season, Coach Elliott starts putting in the 2nd and 3rd string players. Everyone gets to play!
Just for fun - let's put Peter Lang in as QB. Coach knew he had a good arm, but could he scramble or handle the blitz? Well first pass, Complete! Second pass, Complete - with two penalties. Roughing the passer and a facemask against WT (Peter was victim of both penalties). We moved down the field. Peter goes for the long pass into the endzone, perfect spiral, right into the hands of Donte. But he drops it! Awwwwe. A few more passes (1 for 2) and then a pass to Anton, but WT gets in front of the pass and intercepts. Peter pushed the WT spoiler out of bounds. Time runs out for the game and the season. What an exciting end of the season.
Peter and the 2nd string held their own against WT's first string defense! Look for QB Peter Lang in the 2011 Season!

Peter was awarded the Sportsmanship award at the Fall Sports Awards. Varsity Coach Railey had some very nice things to say about the JV team.

So far he has raised a total of $1,240.25 for his charities. We are still waiting to hear about a few more donations. If you are interested in donating, please contact us ... kalmd@comcast.net

All in all it was a good year. It goes by much too quickly. Thanks for all your comments and good wishes. I have posted some highlights of the game, Peter's QB debut, Peter's award ceremony, and a tribute to Bobby and Western Tech. Enjoy!
