Lane Tech Reveals New Kicking Game in Win Over Whitney Young

 

Lane Tech 35

Whitney Young 12

 

September 29, 2006

 

(Hansen Stadium- Chicago, IL) Lane Tech (3-3, 3-0) jumped to a 35-0 lead in the 3rd quarter and the lead was never seriously threatened thereafter as it defeated conference opponent Whitney Young (3-3, 0-3). Whitney Young’s offense was held in check all day long by the tenacious Lane Tech defense. Whitney Young quarterback Deron Leslie was held to -6 total pass yards on 7 attempts. Meanwhile Lane relied on balanced scoring and got 2 Touch downs form quarterback Robert Pienkos and a touch down apiece from Brandon Carter, Koshion Barfield and Chris Anton.

            Lane Tech revealed a much improved kicking game as Edwin Rodriguez and Peter Bielecki from the soccer team became eligible to play for the season. Those two provide an immediate impact to Lane’s kicking game as they now deliver kickoffs and kick extra points for Lane. Filed goal attempts which have been very rare for Lane in the past may soon become a reality. In this game Edwin Rodriguez, who is a 2005 All-state player in soccer kicked 4 extra points. Edwin and Peter provide a much needed lift to the football team who previously had a very tenuous if not non-existing kicking game in previous games and had to rely on going for two point conversions instead of extra points. Their presence may prove especially beneficial in city and playoff games when the competition becomes stiffer and when points may be harder to come by.

            Next up for Lane Tech is the Lions of Lincoln Park next Friday, 3:30pm at home for homecoming. Whitney Young faces Taft next week for their homecoming game against Taft
