September 11-13

Jenny was in town on Friday, we had lunch at the local sub shop. In the evening it was football night at McCaskey, the Red Tornado hosted York in high school football's version of the War Of The Roses. I graduated from McCaskey way back in the stone-age era of 1974, in 1988 I came back to do the PA for football and I'm now into my 28th year on the mic at the stadium. JPM won in York in 2014, I was absent because that was the week I had my heart issues (incidentally, there have been no no recurrences since). On this night in Lancaster the Red Tornado led early and won going away 31-12. It was 14-0 after one quarter thanks to TD runs by QB Jathan Gonzalez and halfback R.J. Godwin, York got on the board just before halftime to make it 14-6. Fullback Carlos Lugo rushed for a score in the third quarter, Randolph Speller's TD run in the final quarter put the game out of reach. Placekicker Nick Allen added a late field goal, he was also 4-for-4 on extra-point attempts. The win brings the record to 1-1, the boys travel to Berks County for the final non-league game at Reading High on the 18th. The rest of the weekend had little going except lunch with Jenny on a chilly, rainy Saturday. Talked to Don on Sunday, we start street hockey season on September 22. Take care, thanks for reading.
