Lang who faked a run around the right side and pulled up to hit
a wide open Michael Osmundsen on the run with a 25 yard pass.

all their hard work.
On behalf of the players and
the coaches we would like to thank the Cheerleaders for all
their support and great cheering. Thank You girls, Great Job.
9 Year Olds Do It Again!
On Sunday, 10/1/06,
the 9 year olds had their toughest game of the season so far
against a very good Farmingdale Hawks at
Allen Park and
came away with a big Victory in a nail biter of a game 20-19.
The Crusaders started the game on offense and could not get a
good drive going right away. The Offense had to punt the ball
away to the Farmingdale Offense. The Defense came out fired up
and played that way stopping the Hawks to get the ball back to
our offense. The Offensive line was not going to deny our
Running backs a chance to get in the end zone, so the line of
Ryan Kelly, Dylan MacDonald, Frank Terrasi, Michael Micallef,
John Morrisey, Michael
Osmundsen and Christopher Savva provided the holes for
RB Brian Lang to score the 1st of his three touchdowns. The
extra point attempt was no good.
With about
2 minutes left before half time the Hawks tied the game at 6
-6. The Crusaders got the ball back with less than two minutes
to go and were determined to score before half time. RB Brian
Lang hit a wide open Michael Osmundsen with a 30 yard option
pass to get to the 20 yard line. Than Brennen Ward took a hand
off and ran to the 10. On the next play with great blocking by
the “Hogs “and by the lead RBs’, Brian Lang scored his 2nd TD.
QB Dan Lembo while under great pressure from the defenders hit
TE Michael Osmundsen in the end zone for the extra point to make
it a 13 – 6 game. The Hawks got the ball back with about 40
seconds and had two time outs left and started to drive down the
field and it look like they might score again. The Crusaders
Defense led by Tyler Panico, Brian Bell, John Coppola, Abdul
Ford, Jack McGovern, Joe Epilone, Rich TenreiroPat McDevitt,
Emilio Miret, Anthony Young, Jimmy McCarthy, Philip Grieser
and Joe Filoteo, would have none of that and they stopped the
Hawks from driving any futher down field.
After
half time both the Crusaders and the Hawks offense stalled and
turned the ball back over a couple of time until the Hawks
scored midway through the 3rd quarter. The Crusaders defense
stepped up big by stopping the extra point to keep the score at
13 -12. When the offense took over QB Dan Lembo hit RB Brennen
Ward with an out pass for 25 yards. Brennen had a great game
with 6 rushes for 40 yards and 1 catch for 25. RB Dominic
Calderin ran the ball next for 8 yards and the offense was on
the move again. Dominic had 4 rushes for 18 yards and some
great blocks. A few plays later RB Brian Lang scored his 3rd TD
of the game and also scored the extra point which turned out to
be the game winning point. With no time left on the clock the
Hawks scored and also converted their extra point attempt to
make it a 20 -19 game. Both teams played a great game. Again
the boys showed a lot of class and good sportsmanship with this
victory which now makes them 4-0, and puts them in 1st place.
Way to go boys!
