Burros take down L/P football team

Published 12:02 am Saturday, October 1, 2011

The Lyle/Pacelli football lost at Lanesboro by a score of 78-26 on the road Friday.

The Athletics (0-5 overall, 0-5 SEC) trailed 66-6 at the half.

“When we put four quality days of practice together, that’s when we’ll get it going,” L/P head coach Reid Olson said. “Our practices have been ugly for the last two weeks and we’ve got to start working harder.”

Sean Shapiro ran for 74 yards and two scores for L/P and he also returned a kickoff 78 yards for a score.

“We had a lot of depth at running back early in the year, but now we’re down to one healthy running back,” Olson said. “Sean has carried the load not just for varsity, but JV too.”

Lanesboro jumped out to a 15-0 lead but freshman quarterback Jordan Hart got L/P on the board with his first career TD pass when he hooked up with Skylar Meyer 63-yard scoring strike in the first half.

The Athletics struggled with turnovers for most of the first half and that set up a lot of short scores for the Burros.
