Lane plays Curie on Friday October 13, 2006 for the conference championship in football. It is also senior night for Lane Tech. This is the first year Lane will hold senior nigh where seniors and their parents will be honored at halftime.

Pictured below is Curie RB/WR Lewis, who is one of their big play threats. Curie also boasts powerful kicker Manuel Cisneros, TE/LB,Tremaine Wren(6-3, 265), FB Darius Bell (5-10, 205), and QB Cody Miller (6-2, 205). Curie is undefeated in conference play and looks to end the Lane dominance of the conference.

Lane relies primarily on a steady diet of running from Senior William Moorehead and Christopher Blackmon. Quarterback Robert Pienkos does have big play threats in receivers Chris Anton and KR/WR Fuad Salami. Lane(4-3, 4-0) is undefeated in conference play with blowout victories over Taft. Mather, Whitney Young, and last week 49-0 over Lincoln Park.

This game also has playoff implications. The winner receives an automatic berth to the state playoffs. Both teams will qualify for the Public League playoffs with winning records. However, teams that finish 5-4 are not guaranteed playoff berths. If Lane loses they will be 4-4 with a Public League playoff game still remaining.
